Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-04-25
principle. .-Cimarron Jacksoni

the republican nominee for Judge.
Mr.. Cline has been one of the fus-
ion war horses.-Register.
HAVING watched the erratic
course of G. Polk, for a number
of years, we are inclined to deny
the sfusion war horse claim.
Cline has only been q ssfusionist'
when he saw something in it per-
sona1ly for G. Polk. Pawnee
county democrats are not loos-
ing any sleep over his latest bid
for notoriety.
AT LAST there is sort of an
investigation on, of the charges
that Philippines had been tor
tured by American soldiers ad-
ministering the "water cure. "
You will remember the letter
from Geo. Rockwell, formerly of
this county, but now a member
of Co. F, 18th q. S. Infantry in
the Philippines, published in the
DEMOCRAT about a year ago, in
which George described how the
sswater cure'' was administered.
Verify we are a christian"
people.
THE Democrats and Populists
of this, the Goth Judicial dis
trict, will meet at Great Bend on
Thursday of next week, to nomi-
nate the next judge of our dis
trict court. Hon. Tom w.
Moseley, of ST. John, will in all
likelihood be the nominee, and
he will make an ideal successor
to Judge Clark. Judge Clark
recognized Mr.. Moseley's ability
when he stated that if the demo-
Gratis and populists nominated
Moseley, the last Judicial cleo
tion, he, Judge Clark, would not
run against him.
In writing of the recent repub-
lican convention of Larned, when
that political accident, Lobdell,
was nominated for Judge, the
Larned Tiller and Toiler says:
The tableau event of the meet
ing was a speech by Col. e.. Polk
Cline, who has heretofore posed
as a Democrat, in which he pledg-
ed his support to the nominee
of the convention. He declared
himself Democratic and honest
in all other things political, but
said that in the judicial cam
paign it was more to his individ-
ual interest to support the repub-
ican nominee. Up to the time
of going to press Col. Cline is still
supporting Mr.. Lobdell. The
fusion parties do not view the
detection of Col. Cline and his ill-
fuence with his party with any
great amount of alarm as it is
not believed that the result of
the election will be materially
changed by one vote.
