This is one of the troubles the
republican party always has to en-
counter. Professional candidates
are figuring years ahead on a GER
tain office. They think the party
owes them something. They have
voted the ticket for a dozen years
and now want to be reimbursed
for doing so by being given an office.
The facts are that if the republican
party expects to be successful in
local elections, it must select the
men it wants for the office, and not
let a fellow pick out an office three
or four years ahead and groom him.
self for it and force himself on the
ticket, There are men in Neosho,
county now, trying to secure pledges
for next year. They put in their
spare time seeing this one and that
one and getting a promise OF help
or hush and when the convention
comes off next year, these fellows
who work the party rather than
work for it will be hard to down
and in almost every case they add
weakness rather than strength to
the ticket. Don't promise any O. ne
to help him. Tell him you are
republican and will be in favor of
nominating men next year who are
competent to fill the offices, but
can't tell SO far ahead who will be
your choice for any particular of
fee; that you hold the party's in
terest above those of any one man.
Then let the convention in their
judgement nominate good, honest
straightforward men and the re-
publicans will elect them.

Extra Session Talk.

Ia Governor Leedy is still non,
committal as regards the extra sess-

full cantrol of all branches of the
government of Kansas and1 have
the power to pass the maximum

they see fit. We would suggest that
they pull themselves together and
give us some of their talled-of re-

be had. The facts are the republi
cans went into the campaign in
half-hearted way; they started out
whipped, 1t looked for a while as
though no one wanted to make the
race for some of the offices. Fin
ally ticket was fixed up but the
candidates were not placed in such
a manner as to add strength to the
ticket. All were first class capable
men, but their locations were not
such as in the judgment of the men
who had worked in politics, would
command the most votes for the
party. With a majority of over 400
against the republican ticket last
year, it would be reasonable to as
sumo that the party leaders could
get together and talk up a ticket,
placed in such manner as to COM
mand at least the party vote, but
such was not the case and when
the republican convention was call
ed TO order in Erie on August end,
every one was at sea as to what
could be done to stay the nomina-
ton of ticket that was doomed to
be defeated. Each delegate de-
pended on some one else and the
result was a ticket was nominated
as stated before of good men, but
not placed in such a manner as to
look like winners. The campaign,
what there was of it, drug along like
a funeral PROFESSIONS kind load &
fire at will, every-fellow for-himself
sort of an affair. 1t was conceded
that C. F. Prange would be re-elect-
ed and the only speculation was as
to the size of his majority. There
was also hopes of Garvin pulling
through, BUTT was talked that he
must run ahead of his ticket to do
so, but it was generally conceded
that the rest of the ticket could not
be successful. Some tried to con-
yey the idea that the republicans
would have the most votes this year
and the thing to do was to get them
cast for republican candidates, but
this seemed unpopular and the can
didates seemed to want to manage
their own campaigns and do lots of
buttonholing, but at this the oppo-
sition candidates proved themselves

trouble and poor digestion is because
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-

In another way, also the heart Is af-
fected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation

feeling of oppression and heuviness In

dstended stomach on the heart and
lungs. interfering with their action:
hence arises palpltation ana short

Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, makes it thin and watery,
which irritates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart troubles is to improve the di-
gestlon and to insure the prompt as

This can best he done by the regular

GIVE THANKS.

To give thanks unto the Lord for
blessings enjoyed has always been con-
sidered one of the duties of those who
believe in n Supreme Ruler of the uni

special days is n most laudable GUS

the Christian religion prevails.
The people of the United states have
special reasons FOR gratitude. Theirs
