FOR THE YOUNG VOTER.

There is quite a number of young
men around here who will cast their
first vote this fall. If they have the
least idea of voting with the Demo-
Gratis or Populists some kind friend
with experience, judgment and good
discrimination should take them aside
one by one and talk with them. AS
sure as another election will follow
the one we are now approaching, SO
sure it is that the Populist party is
dead beyond redemption. 1t is dead
now and buried in this and nearly
every other county in the state. In
one or two counties only, it is being
kept up by a few old politicians for
business purposes.
In the years to come. when one of
the young men in the course of con-
versation. as it comes to all men, will
be called upon or expected to tell how
he has voted all during his life, he
will not be proud to say that he cast
his first vote with the Populists who
lost everything in 1902, even their
name He will have to tell who the
Populists were, how it happened they
came into existence, their queer creed,
their vagaries, the ronentities they
elevated to Office, their extravaganza
of expression. their humiliation by
the Democrats, and it will make lu-
dicrous story.
1t is going to take nerve in a man
10 or IL years from now to stand up
and say, II voted with the Populists
in 1902" A blush will accompany the
statement-Or an apology. There is
no use in such a contingency arising.
A vote for the Republican ticket is
always creditable. 1t has been so for
46 years. It will be so for years with
out number. No man ever blushed
because he aniliated with or voted for
Republicans. Populism has become
joke, Democracy is always more or
less in this country a reflection.
Coax the young man to think of
these things. weighing them for all
he is worth, and he will vote the cir
Gle just below the eagle which screams
in defiance and exultation, both at the
same time. 1t is the young mans
emblem and should IN its eternal fit
ness appeal to him.-Abilene Reflec-
tor.

The fellow who was imported from
MOrland to do the campaign for the
DemO-pops says in his 2x4 sheet last
week that we broke loose and went
after the county clerk. Every word
we said about the county clerk is true
to the letter. He says the burden
that seems to rest upon us is that we
did not get the printing of the ballots.
We did not expect to get the printing
OF the ballots as the county clerk had
imported this fellow from Morland so
he could print a lot of sample ballots
over and above the number required
by law as his bid so stated. It's skin
game when a fellow can come into a
county three or four weeks before
election, put in any kind of bid, and
take the job away from papers who
have paid taxes and stood by the coun-
ty through all its trials. Shame ON a
county clerk who will treat taxpayers
in this manner. And we will add
that we will bet dollars to dough-
nuts that the county will pay more
for the printing of the ballots than
our bid.

WHY VOTE THE REPUBLICAN
TICKET4

There is every reason why repub-
icans should stand by their ticket
in the coming election. While this is
an off year, it is the opening skir-
mish in the great battle of 1904. Adj
santages gained now will be of great
use to the party two years from now,
and any point of advantage lost now
will put the enemy in position then
to make a stronger attack upon the
republican party. This will be the
last election held before the presi-
dental election. The election of To-
cal tickets now will make possible
strong party organization for the
presidential campaign. Republicans
should not allow the enemy to cap
ture these outposts. Begin the good
work by standing by your local coun-
ty ticket and make a clean sweep.
Be sure that your friends are in the
court house.
The next point that should be care
fully guarded is in the election
of representatives. The republican
party has laid out policy in
state affairs and state legislature
should be elected to cooperate with
the present republican senate and
Gov. Bailey in carrying out this pol
icy. With strong county organ
ization and the state government. in
the hands of the republicans, the
party will be well fortified for the
presidential campaign.
OF course it should not be lost
sight of that the members of the leg
islature will have a vote upon a
United States senator to succeed
Senator Harris.
The next point of advantage to be
carefully guarded is the congression-
al delegation. Kansas should have a
solid delegation in the next congress
and republicans should not allow any
fractional matters of local disturb
ances to make it possible for the
democrats to secure single con-
gresham
Roosevelt will be the party leader
in 1904 Let the party mass itself
to sustain him as the party leader
and the party candidate. Let the
watchword be, ''Stand by Roosevelt"
all along the line.

HOW TO VOTE.-To vote the Re-
publican ticket straight, mark in the
circle under the eagle, and not else
where. You will then make no mis-
take.
To vote mixed ticket, do not mark
in ANY circle or you will spoil your
ballot, but mark in the squares to the
right of the candidates for whom you
vote.
Follow these two instructions and
your ballot will BE COUNTED.

of
Livingstone,
REPRESENTATIVE


Georgia, is in Washington awaiting
his assignment to go on the stump,
but the congressional committee has
not determined where to send him.
How would it do for the committee
to send him to Kansas? The colonel
did great work in Kansas a few years
ago as a missionary from the democ-
racy of the south. But he was not
talking democracy at that time He
was a populist as soon as he crossed
the Kansas line and remained a pop
ulist until he returned to Georgia and
reported that he had laid the plans to
deliver the rock-ribbed republican
state of Kansas to the democratic
party. While apparently Col Liv-
ingstone accomplished his designs
and brought about the defeat of the
republican party in two campaigns,
it was not by democratic votes The
congressional committee
should by all means send him back
to repair their fences in this state
There has been a big change since
the colonel returned to the south.
The men who believed in the gospel
of reform that he preached have
learned that he was but the PREACHER
Gus agent of southern democracy,
who was sent here to accomplish by
treachery what was impossible by an
appeal to the reason of the people.
Let Col. Livingston return and this
time appeal to either to prejudice or
the reason of the people of Kansas
and he will find that ''some one has
been here while he has been gone"

1t is doubtful if any man has been
elected governor of Kansas who en-
joys SO general an acquaintance with
the people of the state as Mr. Bailey.
AS congressman-at-larg and as the
candidate for governor, he has gone
into every community in the state
He has met the people and they know
him. His strong personality has APP
pea1ed to them and they will rally
about and sustain him as governor
of the state. Mr.. Bailey has the quail
tiles to make a great governor and
the people firmly believe that he
will do so.

The fact that Mr.. Craddock's bust
ness is in Kansas City, Missouri, and
not in Kansas City, Kansas, is prob
ably the reason that he prefers Mis-
souri, laws to Kansas laws, but it is
not reason why he should be gov
ernor of Kansas.
A TIME TO CHOOSE.
In politics a man must be some
thing. There is no Populist ticket.
There is only the democratic ticket
or the republican ticket to vote.
1t is for the populist to choose. At
the head of the republican party is
Roosevelt. His ideas pervade it.
The state ticket, the county ticket,
the congressional ticket are all made
up of clean, honest, capable men.
There is no reason why that every re-
publican and every honest populist
should not vote that ticket this year
all of it. Then a man can be some
thing in politics. By voting the DEM
ocratic ticket he is part democrat,
part machine populist or part dis
gruntled fusion republican. Why not
be something 2-Emporia Gazette.

The democrats of Iowa repudiated

The democratic bosses have been
greatly weakened in their campaign
in this state by the loss of leading
populist papers whose editors have
taken down the democratic ticket and
either announced an independent
course or joined the republican par
ty. These bosses will get very little
aid from the real populsts in this
campaign.
One OF the humorous FEATURES oI
the present political campaign in
Kansas is the democratic candidate
for governor announcing that he will
be against the railroads, while the
nominee on his ticket for member Of
the legislature from Atchison, is
Bailee Waggoner. the general attor-
ney for the Missouri Pacific. As .
matter of fact, Mr.. Craddoc< and Mr..
Waggoner drink from the same can
teen.
The people can vote to sustain
President Roosevelt and his policy
in voting this fall on congressman
and members of the legislature. The
republican nominees for congress
will sustain Roosevelt. The repub-
ican candidates for the legislature
will support man for senator who
will stand by Roosevelt.

Under the provisions of the law,
the old soldiers at the Dodge City
home can vote at the Home and have
their votes sent to their home county
to be counted. A similar law was
passed for the National Home at
Leavenworth, but the officers of the
home deny the jurisdiction of the
state in this matter and have re-
fused to pay any attention to the
law, so that cid soldiers at the Leav-
enworth home who desire to cast
their votes for local candidates at
their homes will be compelled to re-
turn to their homes in order to vote.
Committees should look this mat
ter up and prepare to have inmates
of the Leavenworth home return in
time to vote.

Sunday morning, Aug. 10, the death

daughter, Eunice Magdalene. Little
Eunice was an unusually bright and at
tractive child, nearly IS months old,
and the pride and Joy Of her parents
and sister Annals hearts, and they feel
the loss of their darling most sorely.
The funeral services were held at 9
o'clock Monday afternoon and a large
number of friends and neighbors
gathered there to show their sympathy
and to hear the solemn comforting
words spoken by Rev. Father McCourt
over the form OF their dear one. The
white casket was covered with flowers
emblematic of the innocence and beauty
of the departed babe. The body was
laid to rest in a white Lined grave
covered with purple daisies, IN m of
the lovelist spots in the Valley Brook
cemetery, there to sleep the sleep of
the righteous who die in the Saviour's
love. The pail bearers were four little
girls dressed N. white: Jennie Hardy,
Irma Weston, lima Filger, aud Flore nee
Watson, who, when the casket was
lowered, dropped lunches Of flowers in
the grave. The %sorrowing family have
the sympathy Of the entire community
