Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1897-10-21
E. G.. DAVIS,

The candidate for County Clerk,
needs little introduction to our people.
Mr.. Davis was born IN 1861, near Sa-
lem, Indiana, and is therefore in his
goth year now. He received COM
mon school education, and also took
course in the Elkosi Academy at Salem,
afterwards taking up the profession of
school teacher in his home county,
where he taught for four years, holding
the best grade certificates. He spent
oae year teaching in north. eastern
Kansas, coming to Barton county first
in 1885. Went back to Indiana and
was married, and then returned to this
county in 1886, locating on his present
farm in Liberty township, south of the
river. Mr.. Davis has a wife and two
interesting children; has always been
industrious, and square dealing with
his fellow men. He served two terms
very satisfactorily as trustee of Liberty
township. In politics he has always
been a democrat, as we of the west
understand democracy. He grew tired
of the dominance of the eastern wing
OF his party, and in 1890 joined
his efforts with the thousands of dis
satisfied democrats and republicans who
made up the peoples party movement
AT all times he has advocated the cause
of the masses, and although a populist
today there is no man more enthusias-
tic in support of VIM. ]. Bryan and the
principles which he as a leader repre-
sents than is Cliff Davis. In 1895 he
was the populist nominee for county
clerk, and made clean. manly canvas
of the county, running close to his
successful opponent inl the three COR
nered fight. His qualifications for the
Office of county clerk are excellent, and
the public affairs of the county will be
we'll looked after should he be elected.

Some Timely Dont's.

Don't bEy any patent rights. Let
somebody else play the sucker.
Don't drink more than a gollap of
beer at a sitting-and don't mix your
drinks.
Don't let another week go by without
getting your name with the crowd-on
our subscription list.
Don't worry about the wheat crop.
1t has to be killed and brought to life
again several times before it Is harvest
ed.
Don't keep the boys and girls out of
school any longer. You can better
afford to hire more help to finish fall
work.
Don't look for dollar wheat until we
have the free coinage of silver and con.
sequent increased prices on all farm
products.
Don't try to farm more land than
you can properly attend to. A little
farm well titled means a pocket book
well filled.
Don't blame your postmaster ifSour
friends or relatives do not write as
promptly as they promised to. He has
troubles Of his own.
Don't think you can hold your share
of business without advertising. Peo-
pie will trade with the men who make
inducements for their trade.
Don't put up that stove and start a
big fire in it without first examining
the fiue to see if it is all right. The fire
boys are not aching for a run in the
mud.
Don't cuss Kansas any more. The
old state has now caught her second
wind, and under the efficient treatment
of DR.. Leedy and his corps of assistants
is in good health.
Don't neglect to vote the straight
democratic ticket from top to bottom.
If the republicans win in the county
this fall they will claim it as a victory
for the gold standard.
Don't buy spectacles from the tramp
peddler. One of them told us last Sat
urday, when we asked him where he
got them, that ''he stole them" He
was doubtless telling the truth, but
wanted us to believe he lied.
Don't neglect to get out to the polls
early on election day and put in the
whole day in earnest work for the
ticket that represents the PRINCIPLES of
the free coinage of silver. abolishment
of trusts and combines of capital, and
government for the people, by the
people.

Acknowledges the Steal.

We were mistaken in supposing, as
stated last week, that Judge Tuwnsley
had conscience that was eatin' on i'm.
He is not bothered with any ything of the
kind. In an attempt to reply TO our
charge that he last year virtually rob
bed the taxpayers ofthe county out of
1860 by charging s41S dollars for print
ing the ballots when he this year offers
to do it for S26. He lies about the size of
the ballots in an attempt to make a
case, which proves that the truth as
well as his conscience has departed
from him. He is certainly welcome to
all the profit he makes at 3 a thou
sand. Our criticism is of his course
last year, and the course of his party in
other years, in Systematically putting
his hand into the pockets of the tax
payers and pulling out fancy plums
whenever he happens &c have chance.
In this connection we want to call the
attention of the tax payers to another
place the republican paper has robbed
the people. Last year the Tribune
was the official paper, by the grace of
two republican commissioners, and got
paid for printing all the miscellaneous
acts of the board, as did the Register
the year before. Neither the DEMO
Graf nor Beacon at any time they
have had the official printing, have
charged for or been paid for such pub.
locations. The law has been construed
by both democrat and republican
boards that the publication of only the
list of bills allowed. statements of
county officers, road notices, and tax
lists are to be paid for-when any but
a republican paper does the printing.
But republican board decides that
ALL the commissioners proceedings are
to be paid for-when published in re-
publican paper. By this peculiar
method of shoveling pap to their two
papers in this city the editors thereof
have been enabled to rob the tax pay
ers of about S1,400 dollars during the
two years last past. And Townsley
will not deny this either.
We believe. however, that it will be
long time before the voters of Barton
county will turn county affairs over to
the party responsible for these things
again.

DR.. P. J. BARTEE,

Candidate for Coroner, was born in
Steuben county, New York, June 4,
1874, and came to Kansas with his
parents in 1855, locating at LarIed.
His father, Rev. Bartle, was a Metho.
dist minister and he has served the
people in that capacity at Garfield,
Dodge City, Pawnee Rock and Kinsley.
DR.. Bartle graduated from the Kinsley
high school May 6, 1887 land immediate,
ly began the study of medicine, taking
his first college course beginning in
Sept. 1898, at the Keokuk Medical
College, Keokuk, Ia. where also a
second course of lectures was taken.
He began the practice Of medicine at
Albert, Barton county, March 1, 1895,
where he practiced until Sept. of that
year, when he went to the Barnes
Medical College at st. Louis, and
received the degree of NJ. D. March IL,
1896. He practiced his profession at
Larne6 for short time, and then re :
moved to Hoisington in June of that
year. He was married in Keokuk,
Iowa, August IL, 1896. He remained
at Hoisington until May. 1897. when
he removed to Great Bend, being as.
sociated in practice wilt his brother.
DR.. Ira B. Bartle. Change of plans
and residence of the brother made it
necessary for DR.. Bartle to remove to
Pawnee Rock, where he now enjoys a
good practice and is liked by the peo-
PIE. He was for some time colaborator
to the Medical Messenger" a medical
journal published at Fort Madison,
Iowa. DR.. Bartle has been exception
ally successful in his practice, and is a
young man deserving of position and
announcement. Vote for him for
coroner and you will have an able and
careful official.
Voters, these are the candidates the
democrat and peoples parties have
placed in nomination and ask you to
support at the polls. Unlike their
opponents, they are not nearly all
selected from Great Bend and vicinity.
They are representative of all parts of
the county. and all gentlemen against
whom we have heard not one word of
criticism. Vote for them, and you will
never have cause to regret it In sim
| gle instance.

sure-enough democratic paper again;
having opinions and plainly express

ticket at the head of the editorial

preciable change is the fact that w.

prietor, has again taken charge. Glad

THERE is no reason why any can
didate on the republican ticket should
receive the vote of a single democrat,
populist or free silver republican.
These three elements-combin the
whole of the forces opposing republi-
canism as now constituted-haye a
ticket composed of gentlemen against
whom not one word of condemnation
has been uttered, and that ticket is
deserving of the votes of every man
who desires to see the cause for which
we are all fighting, honestly and con.
scientiously, prevail. Begin with

VOTERS, do not neglect to go to
the polls and vote, this year the same
as any other year. While there is no
national or state ticket to vote, there
is as much reason why you should es.
press your political sentiments this
fall as any other. The success of our
county ticket means a. building up of
the forces favoring the free coinage of
silver, in preparation for the next
great national struggle. By voting
for candidates on the republican
ticket you help to put club in the
hands of the gold standard, high pro-
lection fellows with which to beat out
the brains of yourself and those who
believe as you do.

LaSG thursday evening w. M. Gun
nell drove his horse and road cart ND
home, hitched the horse in front of the
house and went in, TO his supper.
When he came out, horse and cart
were gone. The halter had been un-
snapped, showing the horse had been
unhitched. He found nothing of the
rig that night, but found a boy who
saw man driving the horse west. The
next day the rig was found west of
town. and from all appearances had
been driven long distance. Judge
Guanell says he would rather have
hired the fellow a livery team, as it
cost him about So, telegraphing and
hunting for, the rig. What's the
matter Dwith organizing a vigilance
committee, so that we may be prepared
to handle such fellows? An example
or two would stop the horse stealing
trade, which has been worked quite
frequently of late in this neighborhood.
In the beginning God created heaven
and earth. Then he made the editor,

got into the moulding room and he
created the fellow who takes the
editors paper for years and then
fails to pay for it. The devil then
rested, but the editor hasn't had. any
rest since.-CimarroR ia cksonian.
