Wichita Beacon: It is
said that the [Wichital
[lABOUT
SkANSAS,

SEHucHc said that the lWlcnlta
4AANSAS' light monopoly will asl
the Legislature, If 1t ever again becomes
Republican, to authorize 1t to collect
fee for moonlight, and some go so far al
to ask that sunlight be assessed for theiI
benefit.
Bennington Democrat: All kinds O
offers Of "places" are made to POpulistS
II they will desert Leedy and come out
for Stanley; but such suckers are few.
Winfield Free Press: The attack made
on Webb McNall by the managers OF the
Republican campaign indicates that II
they carry the election his policy will bC
reversed and the insurance companies
will be allowed to run the State again.
Ottawa Times: Costigan says that he
has 5000 subscribers paid for in ad-
vance. We venture that his trip tC
Wichita and Seeing w. e. Stanley" ant
back to Topeka and seeing Cy Leland
had something to do with this lump sub.
scription. "Your paper is paid for"
Mound City Standard: OF the ap-
pointees Of Governor Leedy to offices in
the volunteers, but two have disgraced
themselves and Kansas, and they are
both Republicans. One Of them has
turned out to be a thief and the other q
graVe-robber. There certainly must be
something in political heredity
Atchlson Globe II you ever see any
thing in a newspaper with F. d. Co
burns name attached, read It, This
should be followed by cutting 1t out and
mailing 1t to some Eastern friend, for as
sure as the sun rises, everything that F
d. Coburn says Of Kansas is good He
talks Of Kansas as man Of the woman
he loves.
Lyndon Herald The Republican Off
cials have been in full control in Topeka
for more than two months and, at the
present time, there are more government
licenses to sell intoxicating liquors In
force than at any time during Leedy's
administration. The Republican party
Is long on promises, but 1t is the Peoples
party that does things.
Fredonia Herald: Who can give 9
single reason why Leedy, Boyle, StrykeI
and McNall should be turned down fOr
men who are having their campaign ex-
penses and Doodle put up by the insur-
ance corporations, stock yard thieves
school book trust and all the corpora
tions who see that the people have real
champions In the candidates of the fu-
sion forces?
Paola Times: Now and then you hear
an insurance man Cuss the Leedy admin
istratiOn because the pool on rates Of
Insurance companies has been busted
The merchant who gets better rates
don't kick, neither does the farmer, nor
anybody else who does business at less
cost and better class Of insurance, for II
y company fails to pay now the business
of said company ceases in Kansas.
Sedan Lance: There are quite a num-
ber Of sneaBy looking pamphlets and
leaflets being circulated by Republicans
in this county They are only showed
around in the hands Of certain parties
in a quiet and confidential way expect
ing under the cover of obscurity to Qui-
etly instill some Republican lies in the
minds Of some unsuspeCting voters. This
cowardly stuff is sham and the manner
In which 1t is used shows its character.
Truth is not afraid Of the light.
Kansas City Times: Stanley opened
his Labor day speech at Kansas City by
saying; when l went to bed In the
Pullman car last night my mind re-
flected on the laboring man and his In
terests" That's the way with Republi-
can politicians. They are always think
ing Of the laboring man when they are
resting easy in the atmosphere of aris-
t0cracy. They never think Of him in
the Legislature or when he Is in trouble
with Mark Hanna or the corporations.
Medicine Lodge Index: Republican
papers dare not discuss direct legislation
and the initiative and referendum. Half
of them are too ignorant to understand
the full meaning OF the terms, and the
other half know that full and honest
discussion would convert a great per
