Our Congressional candidate is forg-

what he will make a great representative
for us in Congress. He viii make him
self heard and 1 believe he will succeed
in getting something for this district. Mr.
McEwan did not aca1mplish much. but
that may have been due TO the fact that
he was hampered by prominent MEM

Allan T.. ATcDermott is growing
stronger every day. His ability cannot

REBUKED BY THE COURT.
Young Man Hinted That Political
Pail Affected Justice.

A few days ago, Frank Barr, of Ogden
avenue, a smart young man, was bitten
in the cheek by dog belonging TO Au-
gust Nenge, was unable to be present in
court, yesterday morning, and sent a GER
tificate from his physician to that effect
This morning young Barr was in court
and said he didn't see that there was
any use attempting--lo prosecute Mr.
Menge, as the latter was a politician, and
had a pull.
The Justice simply remarked that no
such thing as political pull'' was known
in his court. A politician, he said. stood
the same in his estina lion as any other
citizen-ail would be treated alike. He
told young Barr that the case would be
pushed and if the offender was found
guilty he would be punished.

Record in His True Colors.

The attention of Leader Davis was
drawn to a story in a local paper pub
lished last night, which made the star
ting announcement that George L. Rec
ord had become Republican. Nothing
which has occurred during the campaign
afforded Mr. Davis more amusement
SO Mr.. Record has become a Republi-
can, eh? Well. that's odd.
Il never knew when he was a Demo-
crat
Mr.. Record now has an opportunity to
stump the county for the Republicans and
tell what he knows about things in gem
eral. and Democrats in particular. 1t
will not take him long. When he has
some talking. Perhaps Mr. Record will
tell WHY the Democratic party did not
recognize him When he has told that. I
90 not believe the Republicans will want
him or have him.
s9f course the Democratic party does
not like to lose votes, but I do not believe
the Democratic party will figure ii out
that any vote has been lost by the re-
publican side
Leader Davis was also spoken to about
Joseph T. Firm, President Of the Board
of Education, being one of the vice-presi-
dents at the Bergen Hall meeting Satur-
day night.
II think Investigation will prove Mr..
Firm to be Republican" he said. 'FBut
he has right to do as he pleases. He is
a Republican, but that does not prevent
him from attending our meetings. Mr..
Frank O. Cole was there. Mr.. Cole has

ton will undoubtedly control the
appointment Of the state grain iD-
spectOrship, and the local Organiza-
tions will endeavOr to control the ap-
pnintment OF deputies for the differ

deputyships will have to bear the
inspection Of the local grain dealers
organizations before they will find
favor in the eyes Of the next state
grain inspector.
By naming the ueXt state grain in
spector as well as his deputies, the
Kansas grain dealers will have
achieved a great victory over Kansas
City. The Kansas grain dealers have
long been engaged IN a bitter fight
with the elevator owners and grain
spectators in Kansas City, and
recently have succeeded in stopping a
serious leak whereby the Kansas City
spectators reaped rich harvest at
the expense Of the Kansas dealers.
Through the system OF elevator
weighing recently forced upon the
Kansas City and AtchisOn elevator
owners by the association, the average
shortage In the cars of wheat has been
reduced from II and 2 per cent to one.
fourth of one per cent. The control
of the state and deputy inspectOrships
is only one of the many reforms the
Kansas Grain Dealers association is
working for.
