Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1900-11-08


l crow for John Elliott.
With w. &. Schmoker on the
board of county commissioners from
and district the old Democratic ma
chine that has SO long existed in
this county will be broken. The
Democrats will no longer be in ma
jority on the board and the business
of the county will practically be in
new hands. This is what the county
needs and what the Republicans OF
the and district will strive to do
Globe, Oct. IS.
The good Republicans, Demo
Gratis and Populists thought the "ma-
chine" was good enough for three
years longer and reelected Conrad.
The News man is very much dis
turbed because A. o. Edmonds, Re-
publican candidate for representa-
tive, will not stay at home. Mr..
Edmonds is very popular with the
Republican boys up this way and
also with some of the other side and
of course likes to come up to see
them. After January 1st, 1901 his
address will be Topeka, Kans., care
House of Representatives.-Globe,
Oct. II.
The brother is mistaken in the
man. 1t should be S. D. Adams
instead of A. o. Edmonds. Ed
monds will live in New York. We
only tried to tell him the truth.
The News man doesn't like the idea
of the Globe polling the Democratic
ticket, he fears it will disgruntle
some of the Populists. Don't you
doubt for a minute Johnnie that
some of them are already going
about with their scalping knife up
their sleeves and that they will use it
when the time comes. If you Dem
ocrats can deceive the Populists all
the time you are very much mistak-
en-. Why should the Populists vote
your ticket? There is not single
man of their kind on it.-Globe,
Oct. II.
We knew you were off then and
and everybody knows you are now.
They all forgot and left their knives
at home. The ticket suited all the
Populists and they voted it.
The Globe notices some of ou1
Democratic exchanges are singing
the song of the great popularity OF
S. d. Adams. Yes, Doug is nice
fellow, but say, some of you fellow
who happen to think that way. Dc
you remember Mr.. Adams great (?)
popularity 3 years ago this fall when
he was beaten by +. F. Rieman fol
county clerk only 10. Yes, Doug
is very popular in the minds of the
average 2x4 Democratic politicians,
but unfortunate for him popularity
doesn't elect-it's votes that put:
the man there. Get all the comfort
you can gentlemen out of the "pop
ularity racket" Better laugh ano
feel joyful now.-Globe, Oct. 4.
They are now singing louder thar
ever. Notice Doug's IS majority il
Meade county and consider whether
he is popular or not. We got lot.
of comfort out of that racket then
and we get more now. Yes, it,
votes that elect and Doug got 'em
Mr.. Edmonds came up from Lib
eral Tuesday and was noticed "but
ton-holing" some of the dear people
Mr.. Etzold, of that county, was here
also doing some plugging" for Ed
monds. These gentlemen may ecu
some ice" over in Seward county
but they don't over here. The vot.
ers of this county vote as they please
and no politician can keep them in
AAiS OA any (dAulOdtC IL AC QOii
suit them.-Meade News.
If person were looking for rare
vein of insipience the above article
contains goodly per cent of pure
ness. Were the editor of the Meade
News to come over to Liberal or the
western part of the Representative
district he would be spoken to and
mentioned as a gentleman even
though we were mistaken in the mat.
|ter.-Liberal News.
Our statements in regard to the
result in Meade county is verified,
as shown by the vote in another
column. When a candidate and his
friends go out in the country with a
jug of liquor in the buggy, we call
them ''pluggers." We are in the
habit of calling things by the proper
name, and if We were to go out cam
paigning in Seward county in the
above manner, We would not expect
the editor of the News to refer to us
as gentleman, and we would not
want him to make mistake.
