SEVEN GIRLS
Refuse to Marry Their Seven Sweethearts
Because they Did Not Vote the Ticket
Straight.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. Io.-Since
Bryan was defeated the most excit-
ing thing in Kansas was the point
blank refusal OF seven girls In Sum
ner county to marry their seven re-
spective sweethearts because of the
defeat of the Democratic candidate.
These girls, as already told in re-
cent dispatches, had promised to
marry their sweethearts if they vot-
ed for Bryan. The seven girls are
the three step daughters and the four
daughters of J B. Jensen, one of the
richest farmers of Providence Town
ship, Sumner County.
The vote in Comanche precinct
went eighteen for Bryan and seven
teen for Mckinley, but the county
went strong for the whole Republi.
can ticket, and Providence Town
ship went for several Republicans.
The young women, therefore, accuse
their sweethearts of scratching the
ticket and only voting for Bryan.
Said Mildred Jensen: eve do
not feel like marrying since Nc
kinley was elected, and, again, we
do not think our sweethearts have
given us fair deal in this voting
business. and for that reason all
seven of us have agreed not to marry
them at all.
''The young men threaten to sue
for breach of promise, but what do
we care? Bryan should have car
ried this county, and if our sweet
hearts had done as they agreed to
we would have done so. We can
not marry half Democrats and half
Republicans, and l guess we will
not marry until the Democrats
come into power"

READY FOR BATTLE AGAIN.

The Republicans have carried
the day. William Mckinley has
been reelected president of the
United States. We stand uncover.
ed in the presence of victorious
foe. We fought for American
principles, followed a great leader
and went to a glorious defeat with
a clear conscience and a firm re-
lance in the justice and integrity Of
our cause.
We had hoped for a better out.
come of the contest against pluto.
cratic corruption. We had belicv.
ed it possible even in the short
campaign to open the eyes Of the
people to the danger impending,
and to stem the tide Of revolution
on which the meaner elements Of
the Republican party we're riding to
an infamous cminence. But il has
been decreed otherwise. and it only
remains for us once more to take 40
the battle.
There will be some weak souls
who will accept this defeat as proof
OF the righteousness OF the cause
for which only corruptionists can
stand without confessing weak
mentality. There will be those 10
demand that the Democratic party
shall take a step backward and seek
power through the overthrow Of
justice and through the yielding OF
the citadel Of human rights into the
hands Of venal tine.servers whose

yotion to self and their neglect Of
principle

Here are some pertinent and
timely remarks from the Parkers-
burg Sentinel:
Some of the Mckinley Democrats
are already clamoring for reorgan-
ization of the Democratic party.
Twice have these clamorers voted
against the Democrats and helped
defeat them, and where they now
belong is in the Republican party.
Let them reorganlze the Republi
can party. If nothing but reorgani-
zation will suit them. 1t seems like
quite too much impertinence for
those who have been voting with the
Republicans for eight years to make
it their business at this day to seek
to rebuild the Democratic party
on lines personally agreeable to
themselves. Had these reorgani-
GERS acted and voted with the regu-
lar Democrats, and gone down to
defeat with them, they might with
some consistency urge such move
ment as they are now advocating.
but the Democratic party as a whole
will look to its friends and not to
its enemies for advice and aid in
future work

SALISBURY
Publicly Expresses England's Satisfac-
ton Over the Result OF the American
Election.

London, Nov. ro.-What is prob
ably the most brilliant of all public
functions in England, the Lord
Mayors banquet, took place last
evening. 1t will be memorable even
to Americans by reason Of the fol-
lowing remarkable utterance of Lord
Salisbury, who, in the presence Of
900 guests, including United States
Ambassador Choate, the members of
the British Cabinet and many of the
leading men of England, spoke as
follows of the American elections:
eve believe that the cause which
has won is the cause of civilization
and commercial honor. We believe
those principles TO be at the root of
all prosperity and all progress in the
world. Therefore we claim that we
have as much right to rejoice in what
has taken place as the distinguished
gentleman (referring to Mr.. Choate)
who sits at my side"
This was followed by long and
prolonged cheering which made the
gold plate on the oaken shelves shiv-
or and the great rafters of the guild
hall ring and ring again.
Lord Salisbury's incursion into
the internal politics of the United
States was preceded by an apology
in the course of which he said:
Zone of the circumstances which
has gratilied me most during the
last year is the very hearty friendly
feeling displayed between this coun-
try and the United States. / hope
Mr.. Choate will forgive me if there
is any irregularity in my expression.
1t is quite wrong for a Secretary of
State to make any observations with
respect to the internal politics of
another country; but | am soon to
give up my Office and, in view of
this l hope Mr.. Choate will forgive
me for expressing the supreme salts
faction with which all of us have
heard of what has recently taken
place in the United States"

All the power of the administra-
ton will be brought to bear at the
coming session of Congress to force
through that body before final adj
journment on March 4, a bill per-
manently raising the strength of the
regular army to 100, 900 men. The
administration and Republican
leaders want the men for use in the
Philippines, and they want this
dangerous question disposed of as
speedily as possible, so that the
country will have time to forget
about it before the congressional
elections of 1909 come on. They
will therefore go at the matter bold
ly and aggressively prepared to beat
down ruthlessly the opposition the
Democrats may make in House and
Senate.
In the former body, under the still
prevalent Reed rules the bill can be
forced through without much diff
Guilty. But in the Senate the oppo-
sition will still be strong, and here
the Republicans will have to make
desperate fight in order to accom-
plish their purpose in the three
months at their disposal without
risking the failure Of any Of the
necessary regular appropriation
bills.
