the election of party candidates Now
here we are this year in state, repre-
sentative aud local campaign. We
tives, state representatives, and all of
our various county and township Off.
GERS to elect The principles of the
Chicago'tDd st. Louis platforms will
be the lines of contest.
One point would advise. All those
wishing for the principles of the Chi
cage platform to prevail, stand by the
candidates you have nominated as
representing those principles. An
elector that has not zeal enough to get
to his voting place / must say is poor
political partisan You never find
Republicans doing that. Ah, me mol
He knows votes count. and will not say
my time is worth more than my
principles" The elements would be
bad in the extreme, il he did not get
there. 1t was the stay-at-hOme jeal-
Gus and fault finder that gave the
county election to'the Republicans in
the last campaign. The reform party
had clear plurality ranging from to
hundred. You all know the result,
every fellow that stayed away from
the polls ought TO ever be mindful OF
his needed presence. We certainly
had lesson taught US, as to the value
of energy and zeal. 1t was just simply
a case of wantOn indifference and
neglect. It bad also the phases of
jealousy mixed Cp in it. One section
of the county arrayed against the other
or this candidates friend snubbed at
some convention or caucus, and a
retaliatory feeling is INDUCED in. Re
publicans are not guilty of these things
to the detriment of party interest.
However great their cabauls among
one another, they see that. party
interest shall not suffer.
Do as Republicans do regarding
party zeal; and wherever we have
pluralities L will warrant that we hold
them square through.
Now fellow partisan, as a believer
in the principles of the Chicago plat.
form, God willing, shall be on hand
election day and expect to vote for
every candidate from governor to road
overseer on the reform ticket. How
ever, should l find candidate on my
ticket that | think is unworthy of nv
support. Do you suppose 1 am going
to vote for the other party's candidate
on account OF some convention mistake
or some dislike of mine? No, oh no.
Don't vote at all for such candidate,
l believe In honor in elections. No
candidates interest should be traded
for another. Each elector vote his
individual sentiment. Thus in giving
all of our candidates due support.
showing to the opposition the belief
in our principles by the returning
to various candidates the Office sought,
will surely be evidence and fruit of
zeal and energy.
But bear in mind staying at home
and unreqited jealousy would beat a
party of saints. Remember that good
old orthodox song I'm be there"
especially on election day, and all will
be we'll. Yours Truly,
+. T. BELT.

A LITTLE more than four weeks
now until you elect your county Off
GERS for the next two years. In select
ing the men for whom you intend to
vote, you should be ruled by common
sense and good judgment instead of
by prejudice aAd desire to "play
even" with some one. Should all the
voters of this county consider the mat
ter of elections in this manner we
would always have more efficient off
ficers. Besides that, should our citi-
izens this fail pursue such course
there is no question but what Messrs
Wright, Diffenbacher, Breeden, Har-
rison and Strothman will serve US In
their official capacities for. two years
more, as each have made records as
public officials during the past two
years that the opposition cannot find
one bit of fault with. The same can
also be said of the state officers from
Governor Leedy down. We hardly
believe it possible that the people of
Kansas will turn down so good and
economical an administration as we
have had for the past two years be-
bause of sentiments of prejudice or q
desire TO change 30 nutried men.
