SWEENEY NAMED
BY the Democrats Of Wheeling for
the Mayoralty, Beating
CHARLEY SEABRIGHT EASIEY.
John s. Ritz Is the Candidate for
Chiefof Police and Henry Branegl
Wins tho Wharnnaster NOmina-
tiOn-eBilly" Paul had NO opposi.
tion for the City Clerk Nomination.
The Ticket is Decidedly Weak.


The city Democracy induiged IN a
primary election on Saturday. It was
disappointing affair, both in point OF
the number Of votes cast and in the
strength Of the ticket put up. About
400 votes were cast, in the face of the
three lively, contests that were waged
for the nominations for mayor, wharf
master and chief OF police. The Reg
lister explains the small vote by the plea
that the election occurred the day be-
fore Christmas, ana Affects to believe
that the contests were not spirited.
The latter assertion is so palpably un-
true that 1t is hardly necessary to
mention the desperate efforts made by
the henchmen Of Messrs. Ritz, Richard-
son, Sweeney, Seabright, Bruner and
Goodwin to get their friends to the
polls. Next Saturday the Republican,
have their primary election; likewise It
occurs before a holiday, New Years. so,
according to the Register, q large vote
Is not likely, yet when the Republicans
cans poii probably at least q thousand
more votes than the Democrats, the
Market street organ will be unable to
see in this comparative showing prob
able victory for the Republican caHdi-
dates next month.
The result Of the primaries for mayor.
chief Of police and whaTfmaster, for all
OF which nominations there were warm
contests, was as follows:

which related to laws for the welfare
Of the laborer. They provoked no dis
cusslOn or comment, but they form a
most valuable part of the platform. Not
the least important OF these is that
which demands the establishment Of the
labor bureau in the position which right
fully belongs to it. Labor Commits
sioner Johnson has kept the Office out
Of politics and has brought it up from
an almost hopeless condition to some
thing near what 1t ought to be- The
Department OF Labor and Industrial
Statistics should be one of the most Inn
pOrtant departments Of the State gov
ernment. 1t stands for the interests Of
those who, individually, are unable to
buy legislation and who do not have the
influence that money controls, but who
earn the right to be called workers The
demand for a. revision Of the mining
laws is timely, and 1t will be accom-
plished II the Populist party shall be
given the power in the next Legislature.

which experience has shown necessary,
including a provision for the removal
Of the mine inspector who fails to do his
duty. The demand for system Of free
public employment agencies is an at
tempt to solve practically the problem
Of the unemployed, and it's working out
will be watched with interest. The plank
on penitentiary coal has already been
Obeyed as far as possible by Warden
lands, who has been working toward a
complete restriction Of the output to the
needs of the State institutions.
The most encouraging indication
which the platform points out is that
the Peoples party is still a peoples
party, moving forward to the establish
ment of a better and higher government
for the people, and not for an instant
hesitating or looking back. AS in its
earliest days, 1t is a courageous party,
resolutely upholding what 1t knows to
be just and right

TWO GOOD ROCKS.

Two Of the best books written on the
social question are "In His Steps-What
Would Jesus Do?" by Charles M. Shell
don, and "The Dead Line" by G. G.
Clemens. They treat on the same sub
jeCt, the application of Christianity to
the business and pleasure Of everyday
life. They are both Kansas stories and
have had wide circulation in this State.
Although Mr. Sheldon's book has been
published less than a year 1t has about
reached the 175,OOO mark and the de-
mand for 1t is steadily increasing. II
is an attempt to show what would hap
pen If persons tried to live as Christ
would have them live, and the problem
Of applied Christianity is worked out in
an intensely interesting manner.
Nearly all Of the readers of the Ad-
vocate and News are familiar with "The
Dead Line" which was originally pub
lished as a serial in the Advocate. AL
though 1t was written from week to
week, it is a thrilling story which holds
the attention from the start. Like "In
His Steps" it is a plea for practical
Christianity. 1t is characteristic of Mr..
Clemens and contains sermon from the
text in Matthew, Therefore say unto
you, the kingdom of God shall be taken
away from you, and shall be given to a
nation bringing forth the fruits there
Of" which any preacher in the world
might be glad to claim as his.
The Advocate and News can supply
these books at 25 cents each or 40 cents
for both.

call attention to It at once. II the
people in convention assembled keep
this thing up they will make the Gov
ernOr Of the State nothing but a pub
lie servant to be ordered about and told
to do things just as IL he were one OF
the common herd.
II the Capital has its way this alarm
ing tendency Of the people will be shut
OF, for what Republican convention in
Kansas or any other State would dare
to dream OF saying to Governor whom
the party had placed in power? "Here
is matter that presents strong defense
on both sides, and which is very difficult
to settle. 1t was forced on you when
you went into Office and you have taken
care Of 1t in a fashion a dozen times
superior to the conduct Of any of your
predecessors. This is the first Oppor-
tunity that the people who elected you
have had to get together, and we have
carefully gone over this metropolitan
police business. We have decided that
you are to throw the thing out Of the
back door, and be quick about it, please
what Republican convention has ever
done anything like this? Not one, Of
course So 1t is meet that the Capital
has taken in hand the task Of preventing
this most dangerous precedent

nicipal ownership into operation in Des
MOines, and that is only one Of many
examples. They will put 1t in operation
in Topeka II they happen to be in the
majority when the waterworks question
comes up in this city.
The Journal says further that the
platform invades the realm of private
business by its stock yards and insur-
ance planks. At the close OF its edi-
torial the Journal says 'all a Kansas
man needs or asks is fair field and
equal show and the rewards that belong
to the deserving" which is all that the
stock yards and insurance planks de-
mand. II the Journal will bring forth
proof to show that the big insurance
companies or the Kansas City stock
yards have ever given the common Kan
sas man decent treatment it will get its
party some defense. But it is well known
that the Kansas City Journal is not
much of a miracle-worker.
1t is a good thing If the Journal has
it's befogged brain a little cleared up.
Later it will find how tired the people
are of the tyranny Of trusts and COM
bines, and how determined they are that
this government shall remain free and
independent to those at home as well
as abroad. The next election In this
State will show the railroad organ at
the mouth of the Kaw that the people
mean business.
The Journals Misrepresentation
about what the POpulist party Of Kan
sas has done and will do are welcome.
Every time the Journal lifts the vell'
it watts votes into the Populist ranks.
Let the good work go on.
The Advocate and news., 1898-06-22
THIS is A KANSAS YEAR.

This is a do-something year in Kan
sas. 1t is a year of promise, and the
State is steadily growing richer in the
best sense of the word riches. Things
are coming our way, agriculturally and
otherwise, and we are getting ready to
make little more history as well.
The Populist convention last week
was surely peoples convention, and
one long to be remembered. Its spirit
was highly American. It had business
to do for the people, and that business
was done. Throughout all the sessions
Of the convention and Of its platform
committee decisions were made purely
upon the principle Of right-there was
no indication Of any other desire than
that Of serving the peoples interest to
the upbuilding Of the State. The con-
vention was for going forward, and 1t
lost no time in pounding dead dog;
there was no space wasted in the plat
form in reference to the corruption and
impotence Of the Republican party, al
ready well known. There was higher
work to block out; the convention was
constructive, not destructive.
What it has done will stand as a strik-
ing monument in the field of Kansas
politics. True to its name, the Peoples
party made a long stride forward in
maintaining the principles which hold
safe peoples freedom and greatness.
There was no dallying, no cowardice.
The good work which has been COM
menCed was ordered continued, and spe-
cifc directions were given to insure
progress. A declaration Of independ-
ence was adopted that promises to set
the pace for the campaign of 1900.
1t is extremely easy to predict the re-
suit. The present State officers will sue
ceed themselves and the good work they
have begun will be steadily carried for
ward. What is better, further progress
which is needed has been carefully
planned, and it will be made. The peo-
ple of Kansas have cause for thankful
ness. for Kansas is about to give the
world a lesson in advancement toward
the more equitable government which
is the earnest wish Of every lover OF
liberty.
The Advocate and news., 1898-06-22
YOU MAY CALL 1T SOCIALISM.

Elsewhere we publish an editorial
from the Kansas City Journal attacking
the Populist platform and "unmasking"
Populism. The Journal thinks that it
has discovered some inconsistencies and
attempts to scare people. The Journal
will find that the people won't scare.
You may call the platform Of the PeO-
ple's party Of Kansas socialism IL you
like, but that cry will win for it sup
porters instead OF losing.
Now, what is this grand socialistlC
climax that the Journal prates about?
Nothing but the brotherhood Of man
which Christ set out to establish upon
the earth, nothing but the ultimate end
of all parties-a perfect government Of
the earth. That is what the Journal has
discovered. It is what the Farmers
Alliance was organized for, 1t is what
gave birth to the Peoples party, and it
is what gives that party It's strength to-
day. That Is not what some people call
socialism-those who know nothing
about it--but It is only what socialism
really is: the establishment of practical
Christianity, the solving of the social
question SO that each man shall have
his proper share by doing the amount Of
work that God has placed him on earth
to do.
Let us take up the Journals opinion
of the easy stages that are presented
this year. The initiative and referen-
dunn does not in any way attempt to
overthrow the present system Of repre-
sentative government. On the contrary,
1t will preserve that system, simply
Overthrowing a misrepresentation sys-
tenn by making bOodling and bribery
impossible. 1t gives to the people them
selves the right to make and unmake
laws by giving them a means of con-
trolling their legislators.
well, then," says the Journal, comes
declaration for the public ownership
of the great utilities, things which are
used alike by all the people, such as
water, light, transportation, etc" What
of it? Government is a thing used alike
by all the people; II other things are
turned over to private control for all
time why should we have republic?
The people ought to own public util-
tiles, which in private control are
bonded and bartered and mismanaged
to the needless expense Of the taxpayer,
That is an American proposition, in at
tacking which the Journal hits its own
kind. The Republicans are putting mu-

A DANGEROUs PRECEDENT.

The Topeka Capital characterizes the
Metropolitan police plank in the Popu-
list platform as 1.-The most remarkable
incident of the convention" and further
says it probably has no parallel In
any convention. No convention before
ever undertook to dictate to Governor
what he should proceed to do during
the remainder of his term Of office. The
convention exceeded its powers and
went out of its way to assume the du-
ties of the Governor of the State" This
really is too bad. 1t is a dangerous
precedent, and the Capital does well to
