Last weeks Independent says that
after the Simpson meeting last Tues
/ day, Charles Thornton. one of the sub
stantial farmers of Ogallah township.
said that the Republican party had
+ left him and that he was going to vote
I for Bryan this year: This is the first
flop the Independent has had nerve to
mention this year. The truth of the
matter is if Mr.. Thornton has been a
Republican nobody was aware of the
fact but himself-ds we all put him
down from his arrival in the county
to this day as Populist, and his flop
is surprise only to the Pops as we
never had the slightest idea that he
claimed TO be a Republican. But if
Jerry Simpson converted him, he was
very weak Republican, and should
read what the Republicans have done
in the last four years. and stand by
''oId glory.
To the Voters of Kansas:
Please take notice that my name is

ADRIAN FRAKES-
The above is a notice which \ be

of state. has requested published. He
says that the misSpelling of his front
name by the press OF the state is los

himself right before the public before

am no Jew, and my name is not Alb
raham.' 1t is plain Abram-" But it
is the opinion of FFakes' close person
al friends that the misspelling OF his
front name is not doing him as much
damage as the whishers he wears OF
the many varieties OF hirSute adorn-
ment worn in Kansas, the ErakeS va
riety is the most unique. and his
friends say that if he Is defeated lie
can lay the blame on his whiskers.
They have been trying to get him to
cut them off, or put them up in tins
or do most anything with them ex-
cept to let them swing to the breeZes
in their present form. But he is stuck
on the variety, and. besides, he is sup
erstitious. He wore them when he
got his job under Cleveland and be-
lieves they are q mascot instead of a
hoodoo. For this reason lie will car

what his name may be now but after !
election it will be Pants. whiskers or
no whiskers.
