REPUBLICAN papers are greatly
afraid that the democrats will
make political capital" out OF
the'great strike in the east that
will effect hundreds of thousands
of working people. And why
not? Is the fact that labor is
not receiving it's just share Of
the returned prosperity" not
changable to the administration
in power? If there is such a sat-
isfactory abundance of prosper
ity all over the land, as republi-
cans tell us, should not the
masses share in it as well as the
classes? If the starving strikers
and their families become des-
perate and resort to radical
means, you will see the q. S. sol
diers called upon to shoot them
down; then the administration
will ask for more soldiers, a lar
ger standing army, to protect
the wealthy mine owners, the
railroads and factories, from the
hungry, idle, unsatisfied common
people. who want work that will
pay them enough to satisfy
their hunger and clothe their
children. Why, indeed, will not
these matters enter into the po-
litical issues of the day?
A "FLoPPER's'' column could
be published in Barton county
that would make our republican
friends wish they had not gone
into the campaign on that issue.
We have been getting them con
the list" and thus far, SO far as
Barton county is concerned, we
have the names of 5 democrats
and populists who say that
they voted for Bryan in 1896,
and will vote for Mckinley this
year; and ~ gold democrats and
anti-expansion republicans who
say they voted for Mckinley in
1896 and will vote for Bryan
this year If that proportion is
maintained all over Kansas
