The VOICE can not refrain from
observing that had Judge Ray not
acted so foolishly he, instead Of Nc
Bride, might have had the nomina-
ton for judge. Judge Rays protes-
tation has been all the time that no
Sumner county man could stand a
show in a convention. No one
doubts that if Ray had submitted
gracefully to the convention method
when the party declared for it, he
could have secured the Sumner
county delegation. But by his chas.
ing around after a nomination by pc.
tition in defiance Of the party, he
alienated his support, and a Demo,
crat has stepped in and taken the
plum which with ordinary prudence
on his own part would have fallen 10
him in spite Of all opposition. We
say this not in a spirit Of Gliding hui
in all kindness.

Judge Ray Protests.

Topeka, Aug. III. A. Ray of Sum-
ner county filed in the Office of the
secretary Of state today protest
against the placing of the name Of
w. Il. Mcbride on the fusion ticket
as candidate for judge in the dis
trict composed of COwley and Sumner
counties.
Ray declares that 10 the contest in
the judicial convention last week, the
CONVEY county delegation was instrnc.
ted to vote for o. p. Fuller for judge
and if any member Of the delegation
should vote otherwise his seat was 10
be declared vacant and the solid vote
cast for Fuller. Mcbride could not
get the nomination without one vote
from Cowley county, but he got that
vote, Ray charges, by promising W.
ID McCOnn, Cowley county delegate,
that, if elected, he would make Nc
Conn stenOgrapher for his curt. He
alleges that this was a fraud aud asks
that the secretary of state leclare
there was no nomination.
Ray was a candidate for the nOmi
nation and will still he Il candidate il
a new convention shall be ordered.
The state board Of elections, com
posed Of the secretary Of state, atlor
ney general and auditor, will hear the
controversy between Ray and Mcbride

William T. Mcbride.

The Voice places the name of
W. T. Mcbride at the mast head
this week as the nominee of our
party for Judge. 1t is with feeling
of great confidence that we do this
coincidence in his triumph at the
polls, and confidence in his every
qualification to fill the responsible
position to which he shall have been
called. Billy Mcbride has grown
up in the legal profession in Sumner
county. He has had years of prac.
tice and has always proven himself
trustworthy to his clients and to his
friends. He has served one term as
county attorney and came out OF
that trying position unscathed. Mr..
Mcbride was born in Baltimore,
Maryland, June Q, 1858. His father
enlisted in the First Maryland regi.
ment OF volunteer Infantry for the
Union army, and the mother and
child went to his grandparents in
Pennsylvania, where the mother died
The father served through the wa,

Andy Richards is greatly con-
cerned just now about the preserva-
ton of simon pure Populism. 1t
would indeed be calamity for it to
be tinctured the least bit with De-
mocracy. He proclaims through his
little paper this week that what is
needed just now is genuine Popu-
list ticket; he charges that the one
just nominated is wholly Democratic;
that it was dictated by Pitts and
Hackney.
Now this is really too bad! The
Populists of Sumner county to the
number OF 34l delegates gathered in
Wellington last week for the purpose
of nominating ticket. They nomi-
mated Jim Heskett for sheriff on first
ballot, W. NJ. Jackson for register
of deeds by reclamation; J. P.
Winner for treasurer against his
emphatic protest. Not one delegate
in fifty thought of it but it is fact
that all these men away back in the
SOS were Democrats. Horrible dis
covery! Pitts and Hackney had
undoubtedly hypnotized the con-
! vention-bold, bad men! MILFORD
E. Wood was named for clerk. II
was we'll known that he was a Demo
Graf, but these 94l delegates under
the hypnotic influence Of Pitts and
Hackney, nominated him despite this
fact. And so there you are. Geo
W. Bailey, free silver Republican
was nominated for commissioner
but that was slip, you know.
What silly twaddle this Isl How
much seriousness is there in such
complaints? None whatever. Those
BAL delegates selected parties they
wanted for official position.
Populists are not looking back tc
ascertain the former politics Of theil
standard bearers. Ex.Democral!
and ex-Republicans stand on al
equal footing. To prove this let u

Now, in regard to the resolutions,
the Prevaricator intimates that We
made way with the resolutions, As
matter of fact the resolutions
never reached our hands. We
neglected to get them as We usually
do, before the convention adjourned
and as a penalty for such neglect
spent two hours chasing after the
secretaries the same evening trying
to get them. We finally met Senator
Forney and Charley Hatfield las
sistant secretary on the street after
supper. They thought Secretary
Wakefield had them. A trip
through the mud to his house
brought the information that he
had not taken them and knew moth
ing about their Whereabouts. He
thought Forney or Hatfield had
them. At this writing they have
not yet been found. If any one
knows OF their whereabouts they will
please report. The VOICE will be
glad 10 publish them.
In closing we want to say a word
about our attitude toward Gov.
Leedy. We stated when we moved
to table the resolution that we
thought it too soon to pass upon
that matter. We still think so. We
can endorse much of Gov. Leedy'S
administration. Some things he has
done We cannot endorse. Next
year we will have more light and
can then weigh the good with the
bad and see which preponderates.
And when we do take our stand
we shall remain there until the
"leopard shall have changed his
spots" We shall not vacillate back
and forth three or four times as the
editor of the Mail did on Morrill,
and Cy Leland.
We acknowledge this statement
from the Prevaricator: We want
to see Leedy downed in Sumner
county, but that will never happen
under the leadership of Lyman
Naugle." For Andy's benefit will
say, that should we decide to cham
pion another candidate and make
as big a mess of it as. he did
of Sampeter's case in 1896, we
will promise right now that We shall
not aspire to be postmaster or
political boss in the party again
for few yeas. Do you catch this,
neighbour
The Voice does not take its posi-
tons on disputed matters, however,
expecting all men to follow its lead.
We speak our sentiments and leave
men to judge as they please. 1t ten
men coincide with our view and ten
thousand reject it we have no hu.
initiation. We do not aspire to han.
die men around like sheep, as some
fellows seem to imagine they can
There is not particle of that sorr
Of ambition in our makeup. Hence
We have not so much anxiety abou
results as the fzzle editor of the
Prcvaricator.

The Mail seems to have it in for
Rev. o. L. Smith. Andy has it in
for ministers on general principles,
but if any minister wants to get the
full benefit Of his hatred just let him
become known as a Populist, then
he catches it! But who cares for i?
It's like trying to strangle an ele-
plant with a craw fish, or submerge
the earth with a skunk. His mouth.
ings are so contemplate as 10 cause
them to sink in ignominy as fast as
they are uttered. Decent people
have no respect for such SANDER,
much less for the slanderer. Thi:

will regret that this much notice ha'
been given the stuff.

Sheriff..

From an economical point Of view,
Jim Heskett has made the best sheriff
the county has ever had. He has
saved money for the taxpayers at
every turn. Jim is charged with work
ing for himself. If this be 50, he also
saves for the taxpayers as he goes
along, and no one will dispute that
he is to be commended for ii. A
glance at the records of disbursement
will suffice to prove these facts. Be.

run over $500 per annum. The sher-

clearly what the law contemplated.

that Heskett did was TO notify all of
the parties against whom he held
warrants that if they would come 10
promptly and settle no mileage would
be charged. This cut his fees some but
gave men a chance to make their own
mileage.

competent sheriff 10 every respect,
always ready to obey orders Of the
court, and always with an eye out to
the cOunty's interest. He deserves to

retained by the people.
