NO MISTAKE.

In the nominating of John B. Mes
erye for District Attorney the people of
Fremont county indeed made no mis-
take, but have done the right thing at
the right time. If elected, and there is
no valid reason why he should not be,
the affairs of the people. through the
courts, will be administered fairly, eff
ciently and successfully. Having life
time acquaintance with Mr.. Meserve
we are warranted in speaking very
plainly and with certainty of his ability,
merit and worth. Although a man
comparatively young in years, he is a
deep and thorough student, a man of
sterling character, great ability and un-
questioned honesty In his legal prac
tice he has always been very successful
because of his thorough study aud close
appreciation to the matter in hand. As
a Republican and devotee to the prin-
ciples of the grand old party, he has
never wAvered, being born and raised
in that sold, and to-day stands as an
exponent by his liberal views, generous
nature and genial courtesy, of the posi-
bility OF the youth of America. The
people of that district will make no
mistake in electing him to this posi-
ton, for by his own untiring effort, his
natural ability and native shrewdness
he has male a success in the practice
of law that would fiatter many an
older attorney AWalsenburg World.

GEORGE r. CASSIDY, the good natur

known in Fremont county to need
much said about him. He has twice
served the county as clerk and there is
no one who has fault TO find with his
services. All ais old friends VIII vote
for him and we can assure the new
corners that they will make no mistake

CHARLES A. DANA, the great editor
of the New York Sun, died Sunday
afternoon. As a journalist Mr. Dana
has no superior who survives him. He
was born in New Hampshire i'll 1919.
Immediately after leaving college he
took up newspaper work. In 1S47 he
joined the staff of the New York Trib-
une. The New York Sun, which has
made MIR. Dana famous, was founded
in 1868 and Mr.. Dana has ever since
been its celebrated editor. While we
may differ from him as to some politi-
cal policies all will mourn his death as
a great loss to journalism.

treasurer, and drunkard and horse
thief to boot, the editor of this paper
could not have been more bitterly
assailed, more causelessly abused and
more Indignantly fought than he has
been through the campaign which has
just closed. He appreciates profound
ly the devotion of his frien dis, and he
recognizes that with a less strong
and popular candidate than Mr.. Me-
Donald the end might well have been
different. AS to his enemies, he came
by them hOnestly,-by reason of main
tanning his honest conviction-and he
has no complaint to make. Only he
begs them to recall that through all
the bitter fight he has not answered
attack nor misrepresentation and
calumny with attack and misrepre-
rasentation and calumny. That may
be pleasant to remember hereafter.
LAST year the Pop. trustee carried
Usage by 90 majority; this year Ho-
mer Fowler, Republican candidate for
Register of Deeds, carried it by 13.
1t is a magnificent endorsement, and
Mr.. Fowler is justly proud of it.
THE REGISTER has been at great
pains to secure accurate and complete
returns from Allen county and be-
lieveS that the table it presents to-day
may be relied on.
After all, people think more of pO-
litical principle than they do of a con-
spiracy for spOils. Fusion got black
eye all over Kansas yesterday.
THERE has been good deal of cur
iosity as to how the new vote in lola
was going to stand Everybody
knows now.
WE are mighty proud of Bill Mat
tOcks and Cal. Stanley for the way
they scoOped things out in MarmatOn
and Usage.

anybody's feelings; but it was no use
trying to keep.them shut up in the
coop.

ALLEN COUNTY A WINNER

Readers of the REGISTER will re-
member that some time ago B. F.
PancOast, acting as secretary of the
Horticultural society, made a collec-
ton of Allen county fruit and sent it
to the Madison Square exposition in
New York city. He desired it to be
entered among the displays of Horti-
cultural societies, but it was entered
in the special list. He received word
last week that the fruit had re-
ceived the first prize, a diploma and
twenty dollars.
This is an excellent advertisement
for Kansas and Allen county and Mr..
Pancoast deserves the cordial thanks
of the entire community. To win first
premium in fair open to the United
States is an honor of no little magni-
tude, and may result in great good to
our town and county.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALLEN COUNTY.
A CLEAN SWEEP!
Old Allen Remains True TO Her Record
and Gives Increased MaiOritieS For
THE WHOLE REPUBLICAN TICKET
Several of the Country townships Show
Notable Republican Gains And
il Looks As If
GEN. PROSPERITY Is INDICATED.

The quietest campaign that this
county has known for years has ended
in a sweeping Republican victory
Every candidate on the Republican
ticket is elected by majOrities which
not only demonstrate the increasing
strength of the Republican party but
bear splendid testimony to the per-
sOnal popularity of the candidates.
While the campaign was quiet, SO
far as meetings and speech markings
were concerned, yet the still hunt
made by the opposition had been per-
sistent and diligent, and on Monday
and Tuesday they made a terrific
fight. Especially in lola township
did they fight with a bitterness and
desperation never shown at any pre-
viOus election. Fortunately for the
Republicans, however, the weapon
they used was boomerang and not a
bIudgeOn. The incOnceivable stupid
ity which prompted them to issue on
Monday a special campaign sheet
filed with abuse, lying and vulgar
ity can only be accounted for on the
theory that whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad-or
drunk. That this publication made
the Republican victory easier to win,
even those who issued it are now
willing to admit. 1t never pays to be
dirty.
The hardest contest in the county
was, of course, the struggle over the
cOmmissiOnership in this district, and
it was publicly and persistently and
Indignantly proclaimed that the fight
was not against John Mcdonald, the
Republican candidate, but that it was
made "tO down Charlie Scott" 1t
was a beautiful fight and it was fought
TO finish. The end of it represented
by this paper tried to keep good |
natured all the way through, and it is
good natured now. Thirty-e eight ma
jOrity is mot as deep as a well nor as
broad as a barn door but tits enough,
twill serve.r
And so it was a glorious victory.
Even townships that have been Pop
ulist for years, such as Marmaton and
Usage, elected Republican trustees,
while in every precinct in the county,
50 far as we have yet had time to
make comparisons, there is a Repub-
ican gain over last year.
Allen county is all right.

HIGH SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT.

The "Thesaurus," one of the four
literary societies in the High School,
gave the first of a series of bi-monthly
entertainments Friday night. Recita-
tions, debate, songs, choruses OF 100
voices and music by the school man.
dolin club made an evening of refined
amusement, well worth the ten cents
admission fee. Every number was
excellent and showed spirit and IN
Outstanding of the subject treated.
1t is a matter of regret that so few of
the people seem to take any interest
in this important feature of school
work. Every parent should feel in
duty bound to hear one entertain
ment, and then we are sure he will do
his duty, which is pleasure, by the
rest. The proceeds are used to buy
magazines and song books which the
district would otherwise furnish. A
new feature of these entertainments
deserving special praise is the
cheruses, trained by Miss Mitchell,
which reflect credit upon both pupils
and teacher.

Description of the City,
Now THEREFORE, |, j. w. Leedy,
Governor of the State of Kansas, do
hereby declare and proclaim the said
city of lola, in said county of Allen
and State of Kansas. a city of the
second class, subject to the provisions
of the laws Kansas.
In TESTIMONY WHEREOF, / have
hereuntO subscribed my name and
caused to be affixed the great seal of

the foregoing was received by the
city clerk this morning and settles
the matter that has been much dis
cussed for the past few months. lola
is now, in effect, city of the second |
class, and at the next meeting of the |
city council, on Thursday evening,
the city will be divided into wards
and an election called. The law re-
quires sixty days notice, hence the
election cannot be held until some
time in January. Time enough to
let US get cooled off from the one that
is warming everybody up to-day.
