Anything to break Webb McNall's
hold on the people is what republican
campaign managers are looking for.
Webb has custom Of asking his audi
ence wherever he speaks II anyone
knows of cases where insurance rates
have been reduced since he became in
snrance superintendent. He has yet
to find place where he did not get n
response in the affirmative by several
persons present. Tho Kansas City
Journal admits that this is the case,
but alleges that he has man travel
ing with him to whom lie pays So per
day TO make these affirmative answers.
At one OF his meetings last week he
asked the usual questions and half
dozen persons stated that their rates
had been reduced. McNall selected
one of the most prosperous looking
ones in the crowd and inquired whether
he lived here, If he was in business and
how long he had been there, The re-
plies disclosed the fact that he was
well-to.do local businessman; that he
had been a resident for years, and that
his rates had been materially reduced.
swell" McNall said "the old hippity
flop Kansas City journal has been tell
ing story on me to the effect that |
had men hired for the purpose of au-
swering my questions, as you do and |
want to find out whether you were one
Of my men, and If owed you two dol
lars l wanted to pay it."
G. @ Clemens says that Webb McNall
may be n thief and u scoundrel rs re-
publican papers allegc, but that If the
people should act in the matter as Lin
coin did when the delegation from a
ministerial association waited on him
and urged that Gen. Grant be removed
because he drank whisky After listen.
ing patiently for some time Lincoln in
quired whether they knew what parti-
cular brand of whisky Grant was in the
habit of drinking. OF course, they did
not know. Lincoln said that he was
very sorry because he would be glad to
buy barrel for each Of his generals, If
he could find out what kind Grant
used Clemens adds that II IL is fact
that McNall is a thief and o scoundrel
that the people are now properly in
formed as to the particular brand of
scoundrel that they need in that Office.
The Kansas City World, " strong
evening daily, has openly declared for
Governor Leedy, and favors his re-
election for reasons which gre best
stated in its own words which are
given in double column double loaded
editorial in recent issue. 1t says:
"The Kansas City World is absolutely
and unalterably an independent news

neutrality. 1t does mean couragS,

Governor Leedy's record entities him
to a re'elcction. He has proved that
the interests of all classes are safe in
his hands. lie has proved that no cor
poration nor person or set of persons
could control him against his convic-
tion of right. He has shown that he is

The fellows who are criticizing Con-
gresham Botlsin on the ground that he
was an obstructionist in congress when
war matters were under consideration
should be ashamed of themselves. He
gave his own son to the service, and as
n result he is now so sick that 1t Is a
question whether he will live. He has
given his full share to carry on the war
even II he has mob seen fit to vote for
bonds which would saddle perpetual
debt on not only his own children, but
those Of the entire country. In giving
his son to the service he has not been
alone. Secretary Bush's boy was in
The army. Chief Justice Dostcr, Audi
tor Morris, Chairman Taylor Riddle and

the state did the same thing, When
the vote OF Kansas soldiers is cast 1t will
appear that u very large majority OF

filled Kansas quota were popuIists.

Counsel William H. Clark. is to be utilized as
an all-round racing and training ground for
both trotters and runners. Morris Park is now

It is said that he and his friends are now con-

as almost certainty, but the defunct Driving
