Inc democrats of the oath judicial
district will be gratlfed to learn that
A. l.. Noble, of this city, and G. A.
Bodley, of Anthony, have kindly I'm.
dertaken to look after their political
fortunes. On the 23rd of September
the democrats, believing that 1t was
their power and their right, met in the
city Of kingman and nominated Geo.
w. Mckay for judge, without consult
ing Bodley, Noble or Gillett, the re.
publican candidate. But these M en-
had suspected that they would be ig-
nored by the democrats and we are in
formed by Mr.. Noble that they had a
man employed to hang around the Sec
rotary of states office and give the
alarm as soon as the nomination paper
was filed. The paper was filed on the
9th and sure enough the fact was tele.
graphed all over this district among
the republican politicians. But only a
few were unduly excited, principally
among whom were Messrs. Bodley and
Noble. They conceived the idea of
getting up remonstrance and accord
ingly they began to search for signers.
Bodley succeeded In getting a few
names In Harper county on Wednes-
day and on Thursday came stalking in
to this city and handed the petition ov-
er to the care of AL. Noble. Mr.. No
BILE circulated it freely among the DEM
ocrats but got no signers. Finally he
struck old Dan Pierce, who, by the
way, bolted the democratic convention
last year and openly declared himself a
republican, and received his signature.
With this Bodley flew out on the after
noon train and forwarded the ''remon-
STRANGE to Topeka. On the same day
one DR.. Trimble, of Anthony, was
sneaking around the streets and allies
OF Kiowa like a pot-hound follows a
meat wagon, and solicited signers, but
he met with dismal failure; even the
republicans of kiowa were too sensi-
Die and too honorable to engage in such
nefarious and underhanded scheme.
The matter will be passed upon by the
secretary of state, auditor, and attorn.
ey general, and We have no doubt but
that the action of the democratic con-
Ventlon will be sustained. But notice.
for moment, the followers of Gllett.
We are not surprised at anything that
this culprit Bodley might do, but we
are disappointed to know that Mr.. No
Die will stoop so low. There is no ap-

Gratis, but Mr.. Noble, republican, cir

represents everything except the truth
and When he fails to misIead q single
democrat, induces republican to call
himself democrat only to get his sig
nature. Voter, what does all this
Juror mean! 1t means that the corpo-
rations and dishonest politicians in
the state are bending every energy to
defeat Judge Mckay. They will use
men like Mr.. Noble land we doubt not
they pay them we'll for i'll as a cats
paw to do their dirty work. They are
using all means, both honorable and
to get man OH the bench
who will obey their dictations. Will
you tolerate ii? Will you ote with
gang OF conspirators who will falsify
Ii the hope of injuring their political
opponents, or Will you support a man
who has always been a faithful SER
rant of the people and who is far above
.reachery. trlckery and gutter politics. |
The question is with you.
