that Bryan's chances Of election are
good. Four years ago they let New
York go by default. They do no,
propose to do so this year.-Phillips
burg Herald.
When MoKinleybte asks you who
IS going to "haul down the flag" ask
him who hauled it down in Alaska.
When he tells you what wonderful
business administra tion we have en-.
joyed under Mckinley, ask him what
sort of business" 1t was to surrender
to John Bull 5000 square miles of rich
mineral land in Alaska, with no com.
pen sation. 1t was business for Great
BrMafn.-The Western Advocate
Have you noticed the Republican
platform on the Eicaraguan canal? 1t
declares in favor of the construction.
ownership, control and protection of
an isthmiam canal by the govern,
ment." Not a word about operation"
This plank simply means that they
favor allowing tne government to
construct the canal and then protect it
while some corporation operates it and
makes i few more millionaires.-Ths
Western Advocate.
The hope is expressed by some os
our Republican friends that if McKin.
hey is elected and nothing done to
thwart the growth OF the trusts. that
they will fight among themselves and
lower prices or else become top-heavy
and fall of their own weight This
might be the case if it were not for the
fact that instead of creating competi.
ton for each other, the great trusts
themselves combine more and more
and become stronger and stronger. II
We leave it to the trusts they will do
quite well.-The Farmers Vindicator.
The steel sheet combine has been
perfected with $50 1000, 900 capital, four.
fifths water. But you will pay an in
trrest on it just the same. This is not
getting something for nothing! The
people who compose combines are op-
posed to socialism because they say it
means the people want something for
nothing, and of course they would not
take something for nothing! They
do not believe in the government fur
nishing the people employment-they
want to do that themselves.-The Fort
Scott Lantern.
Can any sensible voter believe that
such men as Senator Wellington of
Maryland Richard 0lney of New
York, Webster Davis of Missouri, Carl
Schurz and scores of others of the
brightest men of our nation who are
deserting Mckinley, are doing SO with
out due consideration? In leaving the
Republican party they are acuated by
the love of this independent govern
ment, bequeathed to us by our fore
fathers, and their detestation of an
ilnperialistic form of government.
Readers, which side will you supportf
Stafford County Leader.
Mark Hanna says that Roosevelt %

sue this state for Mckinley. Now
Mark thinks he knows, or he wouldn't
talk that way, but If he can spare the
time to come out here this fall he will
discover mighty quick that he has
been misfnformed. Kansas numbers
among her citizens thousands of men
who have seen more fighting in sin.

an entirely new lot of men. This IS no
