PUBLIC OPINION &



tendent Stryker followed Each one did
his duty and made a good record for
the State and themselves.
Kansas City Times: The ticket head
ed by Stanley Is printed as a Democratic
ticket in Col. Whoop- em-up Tomlin-
sons paper. The scramble going on
among all political parties to associate
themselves with the name Of Democracy
is a splendid tribute to the history and
traditions of that grand old party. 1t
| is about time something should be done
in a copyright way to protect the name
of Democracy.
Augusta Gazette (Dem): We remem-
ber the Maine and at the same time
should not forget the express and tele-
| graph companies who refused to pay
their portion of the war taxes. We
should remember that every one of these
corporations are fighting John W. Leedy
the peoples candidate for Governor
While they refuse to pay the war tax
for the support Of the government they
will contribute thousands Of dollars for
the defeat of Leedy and associates.
Troy Times: Kansas, the most intel
ligent State in the nation, with more
school houses and more churches, less
saloons and less drunkenness, more
readers Of newspapers and magazines
less paupers and poor houses, more pro-
gressiVe farmers and merchants, less
bankrupts and suicides, and more poll
tiCians than any other State, and is at
same time the only State whose gov
ernment is entirely controlled by the
Peoples party. The moral is that prog
ress intelligence and plenty leads to the
acceptance Of PopuIist principles.
Kansas Populist: That is a. great
scheme of the Republican managers
the names Of every Democrat and Pop,
ulist prohibitionist and deluge them
with literature to show how much better
prOhlbitionist Stanley is than Leedy
while at the same time they work the
joints and slums Of Wichita and Leaven.
worth with promises that Stanley will
appoint police boards which will allow
these towns to run wide open" No
wonder they were so, strictly private
and confidential" in their efforts to Sc
cure the names of such prohibitionists.
Emporia Times; No party ever went
to the people of a State with a fairer
record made in the past or a more ex-
allied hope for the future than do the
reformers in Kansas this year. Every
thoughtful, prudent, patriotic citizen can
speak the praises of the party that does
things and in the doing does right. 1t
is wise enough to discover the wrong
and fearless enough to strike 1t down.
1t commands the respect and admiration
OF the people and will have their sup
port and by their votes will be contin-
ued in power to work out its mission OF
righteousness.
Yates Center Advocate: All under
the sun the people of Kansas need is a
chance. They ask not dollar Of money
or a word of sympathy from any one.
They want no greater privilege than is
accorded to the people of other States.
All they want is protection from a
horde OF rapacious parasites and a
chance to work out their own salvation.
The school book and stock yard and in

curbed and the relief is most Joyous

past. The native of the soil is having
his day-and a glorious day it is. Give
the people a chance.
Holton Recorder (Rep): The Judi
cial contest in the judicial district COM
posed Of Doniphan, Brown and Nemaha
last week was a draw Each county had
candidate and each had twelve votes
in the convention instructed for their
man. Cy Leland was on hand, and of
course was there TO boss the job. The
final result will be either the nomina-
tion Of Cy's man, Stuart, or dicker
which will in the end in some way re-
dound to Lelands benefit. The Judge
ship contest, as was explained in the Re-
corder some weeks ago. was what de-
feated Judge Broderick. Broderick's s
