Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1900-05-18

DEMOCRATS should keep in
mind the date of the county
nominating convention, to be
held in Great Bend two weeks
from Saturday-June I'd. The
county officers to be elected this
year are Representative, Clerk OF
the Court, Probate Judge, County
Attorney, County Superi n t en-
dent, County Printer, and County
Commissioner for the I'd district
the district that Great Bend is
in. Every voter is interested in
whom they have for county Off
GERS; and the first duty of every
man is to attend the primaries
or caucuses, elect delegates, and
assist in the nomination of
good men for the different county
Offices. There are lots of avail
able men through the county
lots of young and ambitious men
of character and ability to choose
from. Let us have every town
ship in the county represented in
the county convention, and let a
ticket be selected that will repre-
sent all of the reform forces in all
parts of the county; then let all
go to the work with a will and
their election will be assured.
This is the year that Barton
county must give a rOusing, old
time majority for true democra-
cy which means a government
''for the people" Many of our
readers have not been walked up
to the issues of the day; but we
assure you that within the next
few months the air will be fuller
of politics than it was recently
full of cyclones. Get in on the
ground floor by calling your
township caucuses, attending
them, electing delegates who will
attend the convention and nomi-
nate men who will be elected.
The caucuses should be held not
later than May 26th-Saturday
although some will be held in
the middle Of the next week, the
3Oth or 31st.

THE passing away of John Sher'
man marks the close of political
epoch which was ripe with events
probably such as were never ex'
perienced in any other stage OF
American history. AS Congressman,
Senator and Cabinet officer he had
seen the rise and fall of parties, and
the issue of three wars. Until recent
years Mr.. Sherman was an intense
partisan, but disappointments had
softened him-and who knows but
that il had also softened the brain,
which finally caused his death. He
was held in exeerstion by his political
foes, but at no time did his enemies
deny his great ability and genuine
craftsmanship. His ambition to be
President, which several times almost
reached realization, was consuming
one Of the latter half of his life. His
failure lie attributed to a lack Of ma
nipulstion, in which he, as are all
other great statesmen, was deficient.
Smaller men could secure prizes by
schemeing such as his mind was too
great to conceive. History of this
country during the nineteenth cen
fury will accord him place among
the foremost of its characters.

Mr.. LEONARD SWEET, who has
been a chronicler of political events
since the days of Lincoln, is quoted
in an article in The Worlds Work, q
new magazine which has just come
out in New York, to the effect
that it cost less than 500 to
elect Abraham Lincoln the first
time, and 100000 10 re-elect him.
From that time down to the present
day the needs for money for this pur
pose have greatly increased. $4,000,
600, it is estimated, will be used as
campaign funds by the two leading
parties this year. We presume the
estimate for the present year is bas-
cd upon the expenditure oflegitimate
campaign funds and not upon any
that may be used as side issue, for 1t
is cafe to say that it will require ten
times that much to re.elect Mr.. Nc.
Kinley.
