A total of 997 all told-only lack
ing three of being the predicted thous'
and. Now if everyone of these voters
will turn out on election day and vote
for the best interests of the whole city,
Great Bend can continue to maintain
her reputation of being one of the
most prosperous, wide-awake and
progressive towns In central Kansas.
The election of the Citizens Ticket
will bring about this result. It will
not be going backwards to the expert
mental days, but will be putting a
mayor and council in charge who will
profit by past experiences and build
for the future in buslneslike manner,
uninfuenced by cratic sentiment or
secret organizations.
