THE KANSAS PEOPLE ARE IN
LOVE WITH WESTERN
CANADA.
They Say the Land There Is the Fin
est ON Earth.

A great number of delegates have
been influenced through the agency
of Mr.. J. S. Crawford, the Canadian
Government representative at Kan
sas City, to visit Western Canada, and
whether from Missouri or Kansas the
story is always the same-they are
pleased with the new country being
opened up. Isaac H. Levagood writes
from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows:
II met three delegates from Kan
sas yesterday at Didsbury, and took
them home with me and took
them out in the afternoon and
showed them some of the fin
est land that lays on top of
Gods green earth. They are more
than pleased with this country. They
stayed with me last night, this morn
ing I took them to Didsbury, and
they went on North. When they
come back they are coming to my
place and I am going to help them to
run some lines and they are going to
locate in sight of my house. There
have been over 1900 acres of land
changed hands here in our neighbour
hood this spring. When 1 located here
last Fall I was the furthest back of
any of the settlers, to-day I am in
the centre of the settlement. We
have SO children. that are Of school
age in our district, and we will have
our school district organized next
month, when we will proceed to build
our school house. The longer we stay
here the better we like the country,
that is the way with everybody here,
they all seem to be satisfied and do
ing well. I have talked with a great
many men here and they told me- that
they had less than $50 when they got
here, and to-day they have got 100
acres of good land and five or six
hundred dollars worth of stock.
Crops are looking fine here, I think
this will be a good winter wheat
country. One of my neighbors has a
small piece and it looks fine"

REMAINS UNANSWERED
Pertinent Queries rlade by Squire Tharp Have Not Been
 Given Attention.

EDITOR JoURNAL:-The undersign- ed, citizen, taxpayer and democrat, of Big Bottom township, Indepen- denee county, Arkansas, would re- spectfully ask any one, more especially the majority of the democratic county central committee, as rendered at it's meeting of May 24, 1902, to explain to the satisfaction of all true democrats, the grounds for their action in regard to the primary of March 29, 1902,
 l notice from the report of the can yassing committee, consisting of ]. B. Gray, G. Il. Thompson, l.. J. Bracy and J. A. Kaneaster, that at their meeting to recount the votes of the county, the returns from the following townships had been tempered with, to wit: Ashley, Barren, Big Bottom, Greenbrler, Union and Washington.
 Now, l would like to know, upon what grounds this majority of the cen- tral committee base their action. This canvassing committee showed by their report that the returns from six town ships counted out different from the first returns, still, this majority, by their actions of May 24, exonerated five of these townships and said that Big Bottom township (the only one in the county in the days of need that never failed to return safe democrat ic majority was alone responsible for fraud.
 l have conyersed with numerous. democrats in various townships of the county, and believe from the general sentiment of all true democrats, that an explanation is necessary from the parties who are responsible for this undemoeratie act.
 have always voted the democratic ticket since l attained my majority and have advocated democratic priu- eiples, but if the action of the majori- ty of our democratic county central committee of May 24 Is democratic, have been wrongfully taught.
 Hoping that this will not be offen- siye to any one, but that it may bring forth the necessary explanation, and without this explanation I (and, be- lieve, all true democrats) will believe there has been q wrong done.
 Fraternally submitted,
 John T. TuARP.

The Guards Consistency.

It seems a little strange to most people that the Batesville Guard, which raised such a howl at the supposed fraud in Big bottom, should close up as silent as a dead clam and never mention fraud any more after it became known that fraud had been committed and the ballots tempered with right in it's own town, and almost within the righteuos shadow of the Guard office.
 When it was first reported that fraud had been committed in Big Bottom, the Guard didn't even wait for a verification of the report, but got hot with righteous @ indignation, in it's fury ground a hole through a stone pavement with it's heel and swore, with blood in it's eye, that 1t would spare no pains to uncov- CT the fraud and bring the guilty parties to justice y
 The big 'firsta editor of that sheet being some sort of a great t big official at Washington, the first assistant editor being a rising @ attorney, and the second assis- tant editor having, some time in the dim and misty past, been a road overseer, moderator in a de batting society, or something of that kind, we little common, ordi- nary country folks down in this end of the county naturally quak- ed and trembled with fear, and prayed for the mountains to fall on us.
 However, as the mountains re- fused to fall, the little country raised editor of the Journal fired q few shots into the Guard, and has, at different times, tried to draw an expression from 1t on the question at issue, but not a word has it said.
 While the supposed fraud was all in Big Bottom the Guard fairly boiled over with indignation that fraud should be perpetrated in the fair name of democracy, but when fraud is ACTUALLY found to have been committed right in it's own town, 1t says never a word.
 This is fair sample of the Guards consistency. From The Journal, June 13.

"DELIBERATE FRAUD"
How The BatesviIle Guard Was Going Wipe Big Bottom
 Off the Earth.

The face of the returns from Big Bottom township gave Arnold 30l votes and Matheny 29. Matheny was not satisfied with this and went before the canYaSsing board and asked that they recount the votes cast in that township, This was done and the re count gave Matheny 45 and Arnold 262 Just how such an important diff ference occurred has not been ex- plained in manner that we can place 1t properly before our readers, but we will spare no pains in getting at the facts and promise that the people of Independence county shall know them, regardless of whom this matter may involve. There was grave mistake made or deliberate wrong attempt ed, and it is due to honesty and the purity of the democratic party that the matter be exposed, and if fraud has been attempted the perpetrator should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.-BateSville Guard April f.
 Now woul dH't that jar you ]? The editor of the Guard, stinging under the humiliating defeat or Senator Jones, at whose feet he bows down and worships, and green with chagrin at the trium- plant victory of Governor Davis, on whom the Guard has waged d relentless. unjust and acrimonious warfare, must find something up on which to vent his spleen, and, like drown 'ng man graspiug at q straw. he falls broad tide upon this 'attempted deliberate wtong" which exists only Ill the mind of the editor of the Guard and Il few friends of a defeated and disgrun- tied candidate, and emits siehen- il4g guests of hot ar i'll vain at tempt to ease himself.
 To bring the matter down to q plain statement of facts and to get q clear insight into this ''de- liberate fraud,n which the Guard would have inc people believe was committed in this township, 1, just stack the editor of the Guard the defeated candidate or any one who presists in circulating this cry of "fraud," up alongside of Tom Magness, Tom Dearing or "Doc' LaHe, who were the judges of election for this township. and compare their record for honesty, integrity and uplightness.

admitted ny the entire board who went over the returns that year that the ballots from Big Bottom were not only there, but were strictly straight, and even the chronic kIckers could find nolh- ing to raise a disturbance over. fhis proves one of two things, namely: That the records are absolutely false or Windbag has lied. It IS q hard matter, of course, to persuade oneself to be- lieve that man of Windbag's position can lie, And then it has been said that figures don't lie, and, from all indications, friend Wlndbag is a genuine figure co with the ring removed So, as that dispells all doubt about the truthfulness of bis assertion We, must assume that the records are false.
 That brings to mind the fact that the records of the present county central committee do not show that a motion was made by Committeeman w. C. Sanders, ot White River township, at a meeting of the committee on May 3, to accept the report of the first eanvassing board and declare the nominees according to the find ings of that board, which would have given the nomination. to Matheny.
 Further, the records do not show that this motion was voted down by the friends of Matheny But such was the case.
 But they were hell-bent then on driving the spear into Big Bot tom and nothing but a recount would dc. So they voted down the motion, appointed d commit tee to make q recount ot the en- tire county and went at it with 8 determination to wipe Big Bot tom off the map.
 But how did it result? Why. they counted d little ways, found other townships in q wolse condi tion than the object of their spleel and Chat their pet candidate was beaten if they carried out instrue tions.
 And, right there, the meancst dirtlest and most dish onest act that was ever perpetrated in the name of democracy was enact. ed.
 Instead Of completing the re. count and making an honest re- port, or recommending new pri mary between the disputants they, to cover up their own infa nous acts, and defraGd the mal out of the nomination who wa! honestly entitled to it, dropped the recount and reeomnendet that the committee declare tht result as found by the first can vassing board-the very thing the, had voted down. And a majorit, of the central committee, the very same ones who had at the meeting before voted down thi; proposition, boldly changed from and voted for it.
 That is the kind of democracy they want to force upon the de mocrats of Independence coun- ".
 Will the democrats blindly fal in and swallow the pill!
