\ ABOUT
KANSAS.
The Pittsburg Kansan:
Leedy is a plain, blunt

Newton Republican: Col. "WhoOp"
Tomlinson has found political resting
place at last. II is hoped he will be sat
ished.
Hiawatha World (Rep): Scoundrel-
sim may be acceptable in DOniphan
county politics, but 1t should be throt-
tied now and forever in this neighbOr-
\ hood.
Minneapolis Better Way: While un-
der Republican rule, Kansas was a debt
contracting State; under POpulist rule,
IL has been debt-paying State Which
do you like the better?
Columbus Modern Light: II the peO-
pie of Kansas turn down the present
State administration 1t is serving notice
on all public officers of the future that
they must not interfere with the cor
pOratiOns
KirWin Independent: Kansas Repub-
I llcans only have two things against
them in this campaign. One is their
record and the other is their ticket.
Their platform is neither for them nor
against them.
Kansas City Star: The price Of fire
Insurance has been coming down ever
, since Car Clarksons rates were
knocked out. Still the people have a
kick coming; the czar made too much
money while he lasted.
Chanute Blade Dem): The meeting
of the straight" Democrats In Topeka
this week turned out to be an air bubble.
I Only twelve were present and only one
or two have ever had any influence In
their party but are now back numbers.
Ellsworth Messenger (Dem): DEM
ocrats, we believe, should vote for
Leedy's reelection this fall, even though
they are opposed to the principle Of fu-
sion. They should do this because
Ieedy's administration has been good
one in almost every respect
Kansas City Star: The arrest OF Helm,
the deputy sheriff who blackmalled the
Topeka street walker, is only a bluff
I He never will be sent to the peniten-
tiary. The case will drag along, and
nnally be forgotten. Only "niggers"
who sell beer are punished in Topeka
Howard Courant (Rep): Topeka,
which used to be the most Temperance"
city in Kansas, seems to be getting wet
ter every year, till 1t wont be long till
4, she Is as bad as Wichita or Atchison.
\ a man with pronounced temperance
principles can't even be nominated any
more, let alone being elected
4 Clay Center Dispatch There will be
no deficiency in the State treasury this
/. year, and Kansas will pay her debts as
\ fast as they fall due. BY September l
, AZ Is estimated that there will be $780,
Y 600 In the general fund. The further
1--WE get away from Republican admin
\ istration the better we are fixed.
Kansas City Times: II the farmers Of
\ Kansas desire to do something in
n financial way for the real author Of their
'prosperity they will put their money
: into the church baskets on Sunday. The
!. real Kansas philosopher still thinks that
y the Lord had more to do with giving
Nnrosperlty to the farmer than either Joe
Letter or Hanna.
!. Hiawatha World (Rep): II is evil
N Dent that Republicans all over the dis
Y trict are disgusted with the judicial
\, ,t0nvention. And movement to turn
Nd0wn all concerned in it will certainly
NJ be popular. It is conceded to be In order
34t any time for the Republican voters to
XBet aside the action of convention that
arrives at a conclusion by corrupt meth
" DDS. Nemaha county has only to estab-
"a llsh case to gain a majority following,
st. Marys Star (Dem.): On every hand
E 1--WE hear words of praise for the Leedy
z administration, especially for Attorney
~ General Boyle. This is not confined
n alone to Democrat or Populist sources,
N hut many good Republicans are loud
tin their praises Of this administration,
Y characterizing 1t as the best the State
\ has ever had. Kansas has prospered
" under the Leedy rule as she has not done
'Vln years, and we cannot see on what
4 Republicans base their hope OF success.
