SENT TO MISSOURI.
W. D. Vincent Had to Import Man
aper From Lone Jack.

W. D. Vincent, Fusion candidate
for congress, has new manager for
his campaign. 1t is William Hirth,
u life insurance agent from Lone
Jack, Nc. Mr.. llirth is bright
young man but it would hardly seem
necessary for Kansan to send to
poor old Missouri for manager. So
many Of Mr. Vincent's former sup
porters have been giving him the
marble heart that he probably could
find no one to help him here. 1t will
be remembered that on the day before
his nomination the Salina Union, the
only Populist daily in the district,
roasted him to frazzle, predicting
his defeat by 5000.
Vincent has been having very poor
meetings and in desperation has chal-
lenged Calderhead to debate with him
all the rest Of the campaign In order
to draw crowds. He must be hard
pushed.

George H, Fullington.

Wakefield Searchlight: This man.
George H. Fullington, OF ldana' the
candidate for state senator from this
district, needs no introduction. he
is an old time citizen Of this commun-
ity and is known all over Clay and
Dickinson counties as thoroughly
reliable and capable business man.
The same will be true Of this man il
sent to the state house. He has al
ways been good citizen as well as
neighbor. He made good county
commissioner; he made a good county
treasurer; and he will make a good
state senator. A man who will al
ways fight for the right because it is
right, is the record Of George H. Full
lington. He is man Of whom we
should feel proud to send to the leg
islature. Let us not forget him on
the 9Th day Of next month.

Cowardly Politics.

putting on posts around town cir
cular he has issued attacking j. r.
Burton and urging people to vote for
"Matteson, a true and faithful friend
Of the people," and signed in cow
ardly manner "A Voter" 1t is only
when a candidate is in desperate
straits that he stoops to the dirt OF
anonymous circulars. Do the people
endorse that kind Of politicsP Do
they consider Dave Matteson such a
pure character that he can "throw
the first stonep" Even'Mr. Matteson's
enemies never supposed him capable
Of getting down to that kind Of

THE NEWS" CALLED DOWN
IT. Lie to Injurs Another Recoiled on
1ts Own Head.

The News two weeks ago tried to
create a political sensation by wilfully
lying about G. W. Kelley, superin-
tendent of the poor farm. Mr.. Kelley
called on the News and offered a few
remarks. The News realizing that it
had been caught in its own trap
agreed to make amends and its state.
ment published in its own columns is
given below-it was a bitter dose:
"In last weeks issue ofthis page we
said among other things that q pet
superintendent (of the poor farm) was
permitted to grow rich by the use of
the county's blooded stock and coun-
ty property Mr.. Kelley has since
informed us that this is not true;
that be has never profted one cent in
this manner. The information was
given us by other parties. We have
not since been able to verify the state
ment. 1t is not our purpose to pub.
lish anything that is not true We
have no reason now to doubt Mr..
Kelley's word, therefore we publish
this correction.
We are pleased to state that the
News last statement was gentlemanly
made and we trust that it has learned
a lesson which it will greatly profit
by in the future.

Pretty Thin Politics.

The thinnest piece Of political men,
dacity in the politics Of this county
is the promise made by David Matte
son to certain Republicans that he
intends to vote for Baker for U. S.
senator. When the legislature meets
next winter the members OF the re.
spective parties will caucus to decide
who their candidate for senator shall
be. II Matteson wants to vote for
Baker be will have to 60 into the Re-
publican caucus. Before doing so
however he will have to pledge him
self to abide by the decision Of the
caucus and vote on the floor Of
the house for the caucus NOM
inee even il it should be Burton.
The fusion members Of the legislature
will also caucus and will be equally
bound to abide by their caucus NOM
nation,
As a matter OF fact David Matteson's
talk Of voting for Baker is simply a
bunco game intended to catch Repub-
lican votes. Again we ask whom is
David Matteson for for U. s. senator.
Mr.. Matteson in fairness to his sup
porters should at least state whether
II elected he will vote for a Republi.
can or Populist or a Democrat for
that responsible position.

Politics in Dickinson.

One OF the most important offices
in Dickinson county is that Of county
commissioner and one OF the best
men on the board is Silas Baker OF
the Second district. Mr.. Baker is
thoroughly familiar with the needs Of
the district and county; he is a man
Of fairness, Of good judgment and
with the ability to decide important
matters equally. Few officers in the
state are so admirably fitted for their
positions as is Mr.. Baker and the peo-
pie Of Dickinson county highly appre-
ciate his good qualities. The city Of
Abilene and the Second district will
by retaining him in this place insure
fair and just management Of county
affairs and a creditable showing for
all the county's interests.
1t is reportedthat G. B. Hoffman
has made a betSf { sasA OF Sour that
not more than four Socialist votes
will be cast in Enterprise precinct.
As Mr.. Hoffman has been preaching
Socialism in Enterprise for 20 years
he seems to have q very sighting
opinion Of his own influence.
G. H. Fullington is making an ex'
cellent impression on the voters OF
Dickinson county. He is a business
man Of the best type, a clean' con-
servative gentleman who has the re-
spect OF all. He is the kind OF man
who will give this district prestige in
the senate and be a credit to IT every
day and all the time.
The old soldiers Of Dickinson coun-
ty are practically unanimous for Nc
Klnley and Roosevelt They prefer
men who fought to one who resigned
and went home and one who stayed
