This Is figuring on the basis Of the fee

quarter Of this year. In making these

Treasurer and County Clerk the full
amount provided by law for clerk hire.
II the County Commissioners should cut
down the clerk hire of these two officers

LONGS RECORD IN CONGRESS,
His Most Brilliant Achievements Were Voting Against
Dodging Pension Measures.

The somewhat n noted slogan, ''Charge
Chester: Charge, in the campaign of
Mr.. Chester L. Long, is not without its
Significance at this time. The people
of the district are warming up politi-
cally ana they are charging him with
more things than he possibly relishes.
Below we give a portion of his rec
ord while in congress-. taken from the
congressional records. The extracts
are correct and can be found by refer
ring to the page of the record quoted.
He voted to throw out members with
out hearing. See page PIG.
He voted for the Dingley bill. See
page 327.
He voted to help Boss Reed to stifle
legislation. He voted to take away
from committee on coinage, weights
and measures and banking and cur
rency the privilege to vote at any time
thus putting in the hands of small
clique controlled by Car Reed, the
power to control legislation in favor
OF a single gold standard. Page 1875.

House bill No. STA, which would have
given the government an opportunity
to have recovered from the railroads

ia the Leland method of cImpaign.
Tie men who would adopt it would
slip up IN the dark and stab II mah II
the back. Happily the people of Kan
sas are no longer fooled with thes'

the right to a return ticket with one
car of stock has been evaded by the
roads. but the legal mach merry of the
state will bring them to time very soon
These are but few of the reasons
why the fusion candidates should re-
ceive our votes. 1t is universally con-
ceeded that the affairs of the state have
been administered economically and
cleanly. The republican press fails
entirely to cast any discredit on state
affairs when it waits until just before
election to commence throwing mud.
The people can be depended upon to
rebuke such tactics.

Base Calufnny.

The editor of the Mercury, in a very
labored article, a column and half
in length, makes a very vicious. unfair
and uncalled for attack on w. E. Fra
vel. The article is more noticible for
what it infers than for what it states
directly. The whole thing reduced to
a nutshell, is that if Mr.. Fravel
should be elected commissioner and
the interest of the cremery company be
in question, Mr.. F'ravel would disre-
gard his official oath and use his pos
itiOn to further the interests of the
creamery corporation; in other words,
Mr.. Fravel would perjure himself.
This is dastardly charge, and is full
ly refuted by Mr.. travels business
career in this county where he has
made an enviable record for himself
His integrity has never been question
ed, and this covert attack is entirely
unwarranted. This method of cam
paign should be rebuked at the polls
by all lovers of fair and honest meth
DDS. A man may spend his whole life
building up reputation for honesty
and integrity: earnshe esteem and con-
fidence of his neignbors without re-
gard to politics, and after a time the
community IN which he lives concludes
to nominate him for Office. That set.
ties it. The political gang opposed to-
him can find nothing in his past life to
criticise, SO they proceed to attack him
with the very flimsy pretext that if ell
ected he will violate his oath.- jure
himsels. For very shame. The auth
er of such Il calumny should hang his
head.
When Mr.. Fravel was nominated
he said he should make no campaign
as he was we'll known in this commun-
ity and the people knew whether or
lot they wanted 60 trust him with the
county business Or not, and he would
be satisfied with their verdict. He has
ihered strictly to this line, notwith-
standing the fact that his opponent ha.
been making an active campaign.

That Murder. !"

With defeat staring them in the face,
the republicans are reduced to desper-
alton. A few days ago they brought
out the charge that a man was kiltel
with club at the asylum last Januars
Having successfully concealed this
matter until just before election, they
brought it out, and to prove the truth
of their assertions, they showed the
club with which the killing was done
at six seperate political meetings in
different parts of the state in one seve-
ming. 1t takes a republican campaign
to produce mirica!s. and this club has
multiplied like the scriptural loaves
and fishes.

mustard seed soul was not honest
enough to give him credit for it: even
tried to give the impression that he
had voted against it in it's entirety,
and said that he was not a patriot be-
cause of it.
AS another example of Mr.. Long, $
fair, honest and straightforward man
ner ofcOnducting his campaign against
his opponent, he said that Mr.. Simp-
son never voted for the $50, ,OOO, 900 ap-
prOpriatin ll,-that he twas out here
looking after political interest" which
is a deliberate fprevarication, Just
before the bill in question came up,
Mr.. Simpson with a number of others,
among whom were thirteen republicans
had been excused and were on their
way home when the bill came up. Mr.
Simpson had got as far as Kansas
! City when he first heard of it. He i'm
mediately telegraphed back to Con-
gressman Vincent fin Washington
that he was for the bill and to so state,
and in the cOngressio onal record among
the ayes mag be found the name of
Hon. jerry S1mps on These are the
facts, and may be verified by anyone
taking the trouble to read theiI. con-
/ tgressional record.
By just such unfair means as this Mr..
Long has tried to create the impress
