The Kiowa News is very much con.
cerned about the papers which oppose
the e-election of George Nay. 1t says
that they expect profit from the defeat
of Mr.. Nay. The News man ought to
be the last person in the county to
spring the question of private gain.
He received so pewters himself last
year from candidate opposite to his
political faith and we haYe good reason
to believe that he would be supporting
fusion candidates this year if they had
called On him with the cold cash early
Ill the season. He is blind to any prin-
c1ple that is not framed in the insignia
OF the almighty and unrelenting 5. AS
a matter of fact the News we'll under
stands that the people of this county
who are asking for the defeat of Mr..
Nay are men who do not expect any
personal favors. The only advantage
they seek is the welfare of the county
and the taxpayers who pay the bills.
On the contrary the very men who have
been receiving the special favors are
the ones who are riding the district in
the interest of Mr.. Nay. Tie facts are
against the theory that the editor of
the News advances.

GOV. STANLEY IS WRONG.

There is cause for serious issue be-
tween Governor Stanley and the public
records of Sedwlck county-records by
the way, made and kept by a republic
can county treasurer. Either the gov
ernCr is wrong or the books have been
falsified.
In his speeches the governor IS using
all the arts of trained lawyer to con-
vince the people that there was great
distress under the last democratic ad-
ministratlon of national affairs, while
the present administration has brought
overlooking prosperity to every citizen
in the land. The fact is that prospect.
ty is the sole theme of the governor in
this campaign. Let US see about it.
In 1892 Mr.. Stanley's taxes amounted
TO Sl3O.92; that is to say, Sl03. O6 on real
estate and $27.S7 on personal property.
After four years of alleged adversity.
that which existed during the national
democratic administration, so elo.
quently and pathetically depicted IN his
speeehes-Mr. Stanley paid in 1896, the
sum of 1887 0S in real estate and S5l .76
in personal taxes. AS the republicans
had charge of the affairs of the city of
Wichita continuously during that
period, the taxes did not increase; fol
republicans claim and boast, always
that they reduce taxation whenever
they are in power. The fact, then, is
that under the "ruinons" administra
ton of the democratic party, Mr.. Stan
ley increased his real estate possessions
375 per cent and his personal property
nearly 200 per cent. Now then, let Us
see what the governor has done under
the prosperous milk and honey" ad.
| minlstratlon of President Mckinley
| and inquiring into this interesting sub
! ject let US remember the fact that MIR
Stanley by reason of being governor
has had more enlarged opportunities
| for the enjoyment of prosperity during
the past years than the average citizen
We find that lis real estate taxes last
fall amounted to S42i II and his person
al property taxes to S57.5O. Thus il
can be seen that that while Mr.. Stan
ley's wealth increased from 900 to 81;
per cent. under the democratic admin
istration. it increased only from II t
Is per cent under the prosperity admin
jistratiOn of Mckinley.

BOTH SIDES OF THE CAMPAIGN.

The Kansas City Star has decided
upon special feature for the presiden.
tial campaign which was never under

request the chairmen of the two ma
tiOnal committees, Messrs. James K
Jones and M. A. Hanna. haye selected
and appointed two distinguished writ
ers to conduct, in the Star, depart
ment to be called The Campaign Fo-
rum" In this department the argu-
ments of each of the two great parties
will be presented, side by side, day by
day. To conduct the democratic side.
Mr.. Jones has selected and formally
appointed Mr.. Willis j. Abbott, Chief
of the Press Bureau of the democratic
national committee, and, for the re-
publican side. Mr.. Hanna has selected
and appointed the famous Journalist
and literateur, Mr.. Murat Halstead.
Upon learning the decision of the two
chairmen, the Star Immediately engag-
ed the two gentlemen and on Sunday,
August 10, the Campaign Forum will
be inaugurated, to be continued III the
regular issue of the Star. daily and
Sunday, until the end of the campaign.
An interesting feature of the Forum
will be the answers to questions upon
campaign topics. submitted to the Star
to be answered by either Mr. Halstead
or Mr.. Abbott, or both. Under the
circumstances, the answers thus given
will have the stamp of authority Of the

A "HOSS" ON G. NAY ESQ.

The story that certain supporters
flor revenue only" of Commissioner
Nay are circulating by way of apology
for his light taxes in this county, to the
effect that he pays $485.32 in Wood
ward county has been run down. and if
the treasurer of that county knows
what he is talking about, another cam
paign lie has been nailed to the wall.
We had our suspicion wnen this story
was first sprung, insignificant as it
was, but we had no proof of its unreli-
ability and hence we wrote to the treas
urer of Woodward county for the facts.
The following is the reply:
)Office of John j. Gerlach,
Treasurer of Woodward, Co., Ok.
WOODWARD. Ok, Oct. 10, 1900.
Painter & Herr,
Medicine Lodge, Kans.
DEAR SIRs:-
We have looked through the Tax
Rolls for 1898 and 1899, and can find no
tax against Geo. Nay. Nor do we find
where he has ever paid any tax in this
county. Yours Resp'y,
JNO. GERLACH,
Treasurer.
f. E. MCPHERSON,
Deputy.
So it seems that up to date Mr.. Nays
personal tax is only $500. The Wood
ward story is exploded and it will now
be in order for his organ to say that he
pays $485.32 in Arkansaw. Tell any
old thing; it won't hurt your reputa-
ton any. We have proved every mate
rial statement that the Cresset has
made In this campaign to be false, and
we are ready for anything they can
spring.
Let's be candid In this matter. Mr..
Nay is rated to be worth as much as
$4,000 yet pays only 1902 personal tax
in the county. He is reported as hav-
ing loaned out $4,000 on promissory
notes yet does not pay any tax on this
sum of money, at least not so far as
can be traced. A fine commissioner to
vote high taxes on other people.
