Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1900-10-12

THERE are democrat and pop
ulist tickets nominated in every
township in Barton county this
fall. Seven townships will be
without republican tickets on
the ballots. Friends, you have
good tickets nominated. Get
out every vote in the township
and make a clean sweep from
road overseer up.
DEMOCRATS and populists, be-
ware of the "trader. Some of
the republicans are already Of
fering to trade votes for their
weakest men for votes against a
democrat and populist nominee.
OF course, thus slaughtering
some of their own candidates on
the sly is dishonorable and un-
Just to those candidates.; but
when a parry gets into such bad
straits that it's followers propose
"trade" it is the same as defeated
anyhow; therefore trade not
at all"
The opponent of Jas. W.
Clarke, the democrat and popu-
list candidate for county at
torney, has had a month OF
more to do local campaigning
while MIR. Clarke has been com.
PEELED to neglect his own affairs
in looking after the county fail
meeting. Mr.. Clarke's friends
(aud he has them in all parties,
have not been neglecting him
however, aud he will lose moth
ling by his exhibition of public
spirit in thus devoting the time
to everybody's interests which
he might have devoted to hil
own personal interests. james
