Last weeks Republican sent
out a supplement containing a list
of people who had changed tim
BRYAN to Mckinley. It was sent
out by their National committee
all over the u. S. and looked big,
but in Kansas it was ridiculous,
as 1t gave 80 farmers IN DeLGaoare
county, Kansas, and there is,no
such county IN the state.
And the only one named in Ellis
county is Andrew Downer and
no such name is found IN the poll
books of this county.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con.
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits.
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved i; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment IN it.

Dead against it.
At the Republican county con-
vention Representative Fuller, II
his speech of acceptance, entirely
ignored the Reservation question,
even when editor Griffith called
mis- attention to 1t, and at no time
mentioned that he would work for
it or even present the bill to the
House Do the republican friends
OF the Reservation want to vote
for such man to 60 there?
And it must be remembered that
it wont be an easy thing to carry it
for the eastern part of the state
generally oppose western wants;
We will have opposed to us those
Legislators who always oppose ap
preparations for NEW institutions
and keep down those now grant
ed. Another serious opposition
will be those who want their CITY
to have a new Normal school. So
the man who goes should have
experience and know how to meet
this opposition: one who can afford
TO 90 and be lone of the boys,
and work with the other mem
bers and get thro' his bill quick.
Notice what bitter opposition there
is IN the Asylum location fight,
It means a state Institution and
annual appropriations for all time
in our county. Government appro
prlatlon for Agricultural purposes
and experiments, and one of the
Arteslan wells already order ed to
be bored in this district,
1t means new buildings and the
labor and material to build them.
1t means new students from all
over western Kansas, with people
coming here to visit or locate here
to school their children, and 1t
means TO the farmers of our whole
county market for their products.
1t means to make Ellis county
and Hays city better known all
over the country.
President lay Ior OF the State

thuslastic to have a Western

for it.

flNISHERS TO STAY OUT.

Decide Not to Return to Diamond State
Steel Plant Even If Pnddlers DO.
A committee meeting Of men from the
finishing department of the Diamond
State Steel Co. was held Tuesday in
Eden Park. 1t was decided that the
finishers would not return to work even
though the puddlers and their helpers
do. They seem somewhat turned
against the strikers not that they are
not in sympathy with their cause but,
as they claim, The puddlers accuse them
of no. standing by them. Today several
OF the finishers left this city for Pitts
burg, where they have secured employ
ment Before their departure, one OF
them stated that the strikers in
Lebanon went out not because their
wages were cut, but because they
wanted so cents more for ton. The
company claims that they have to COM
pete with the iron works OF Lebanon,
Reading and Columbia, whereas, he
said, the fact remains that they are in
the trust circuit comprising the Illinois
Steel Works, the Jones and Laokman,
and various mills in the southern part
of Chicago. In these mills, the men
make s5. ~ ton and the products of
the mills are sold at the same markets
as those Of the Diamond State Steel
Co.
The rolling mill departments of the
works are shut down. 5,s
