Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1900-10-05

quallfied to look alter the public
interest.
A VOTE for Claude Duval is
vote cast for one of the common
people-a hustler, a worker. He
will, if elected, represent the in
terest of the people and not the
trusts. Ii, however, in your wis
dom you would rather the trusts
should prosper, and have your
children eat less and wear fewer
and cheaper cloths, the republi-
cans have a candidate in the field
whose name is Long and you
should cast your vote for him.
1t is very easy done, a simple
thing but full of danger-Hutch-
inson Democrat.
PROF. BENZ. HENNEssY is the
gentleman whom the people of
Barton county will place in
charge of the public school sys-
tenn for the next two years. AS
the fusion candidate for County
superintendent he is met with
unanimous favor in every local
ity. Prof. Hennessy is uneues-
tionably the best qualified candi-
date for the position. and is ac-
knowledged so by the teachers
Of the county. He will be with
the rest of the fusion candidates
in thorough tour of the county
during the next few weeks,~aad
where Hennessy is, there the peo-
pie all want to be.
". B. LUCAS, the fusion candi-
date for Clerk of the District
Court, is making a thorough,
gentlemanly canvas of the
county, meeting with many old
acquaintances and forming new
friendships. Mr.. Lucas is splen-
didly fitted for the clerical duties
of that Office He is a thorough
scholar, a good penman, gentle
manly and obliging at all times,
and a man who puts his whole
energies into anything he under
takes, believing that what is
worth doing at ali is worth do
ing we'll. He is entitled to and
will receive the united support of
all populists and democrats, and
where he is best known will get
hundreds of republican votes.
FARMERS, you have read in
the papers, and have doubtless
been told by the elevator men,
that there was a congestion OF
wheat, at the local points; that
the Santa Fe could not supply
near enough cars and engines
to meet the demand. Yet, the
railroad has engines a plenty to
pull special trains to big republi-
can rallies any place and at any
time. Think this circumstance
over. Are the interests of the
corporations YOUR interests? Are
the corporations SO willing to
aid in the election of the republi-
can ticket in the interests of any
body but the corporations? Is
| it to YOUR interest to see the
| friends of the soulless corpora
tions returned to power. Vote
next month for YOUR OWN inter
eSts.
GEO. B. Ross, if elected state
senator, will vote for all meas
ures that look to the betlerment
of the farming and laboring
classes. More than that; he will
vote for a man for United States
Senator Ito succeed Senator
Bakery who will be in full accord
with the principles advocated by
the democrat and populist par
ties, and SO ably described by
our national standard-bearer,
VIM. J. Bryan. Mr.. Ross is a
farmer and a stock raiser OF
large experience. He is being
opposed by the railroad interests
because his opponent. the repub-
lican nominee, is a friend of the
. corporations. A law-maker
whom the corporations want the
farmers and working men, the
small business man and prOfes-
sional man do NOT want Geo
B. Ross should have the support
iof every farmer in Barton
