The mud Singing campaign with
which he manager of the republican
state campaign is meeting Candidate
Oraddock is not having much effect
ON the voters of this state. They
have not forgotten shat when LeedyI
and Breidenthal were .eaudid ates the
same tactics were followed and they
were held up to ridicuRe aud dishenor
while every decent man in the state
knew that they were simply being lied
about. The contrast ia the campaign
which is being carried ON by the fus-
ionisss is so marked that many re-
pnblicans are commensing ON it. Our
campaign is clean and digni6ed,
aaased on principles, while the repub-
liean campaign is b&sed on mud.
Craddock is perfectly satisfied for the
opposition to put in its time throwing
mad while he talks taxation, pealizing
that his standing at home ,is all the
windieatiOn he needs, for when he
was nominated for mayor af Kansas
City, Kas., he made his campaign on
tAxation and carried every republican
ward in the city, and he jnsht6ed the
Conscience his neighbors placed in
him by raising the tax valnEtion OF
the corporations in that citg over a
million and half Of dollars what
he has done in one county he can do
in the state.

A man must be pretty badly scared
as to the political outaook for his
party and the party Lash must have
been severely felt about his legs or
he would not deliberately and without
provocatioc slander, Witty and
nalign a neighbor who happens to be
q candid ate for the opposition forces.
Yet we find IN the Mercury of the
seventeenth an article written by our
state senator making a personal at
tack on the integrity and honor of
Mr.. Tatum, our candidate for the leg
islature. Mr.. Tatum is held up to
public scorn as a perjured villain of
the blacklist stripe. The excuse for:
this article is that Mr.. Tatum is tax
ing an unfair advantage of some one
in opposing the republican measure
known as the new tax bill. Certainly
Mr.. Tatum is in good company in
this respect as We have not heard any
one but republican Office holders and
republican of5ce seekers say that it

Our attention has been called to the
fact that one matter which should not
be overlooked in this campaign is
not receiving the attention it merits
and that is the fact that insurance
rates have gone up under the present
state administration from ten to
twenty per cent. Incidentally we
might also mention that in the last
few years the cost of living has in
creased over thirty per cent. so that
the man who now gets dollar and a
half day can't buy any more than
he could have bought four years ago
with dollar-and he doesn't get the
one-fifty.

answering carefully concoc.ed and
highly colored stories. 1t is due our
people. however, to know that every
one of the stories that have been
Matched mp on Mr.. Craddcck were
hashed over in the campaign Of last
year, in Kansas City, Kans., in an
attempt to defeat Mr.. Craddock for
mayor of that city. MIR. Craddock
made no defense, but continued his
alternative campaign, relying on his
friends to uphold his good name, and
the result was that he carried every
republican ward in the city. Mr.
Craddock's action in every case was
completely vindicated, and the people
of Kansas City. Kans,, have placed
greater confidence in his honesty, in
tegrity, and ability than ever before.
Defamation of character is the
weapon universally used by the cor
porations in every fight against those
who espouse the cause of the people.
The people are, however, interested
in the tax question: they have become
convinced that they are being robbed
by the corporations. Every district
and county in the state shows evil
dence that such is the case, and to
revert to "a campaign of personalities
and explanations, as the republican
managers wish us to do. would drown
the real issues of the campaign.
The people of Kansas will refuse to
be stampeded from the man who has
come up from among them to boldly,
fearlessly and courageously champion
their cause. He is a man whom money
will not buy, aud whom no corpora
tion can intimidate. He stands for
the rights of the people, and his
enemies and the enemies of the people
will resort to any means, however
foul, to defeat him. There are floods
OF evidence in the possession of the
fusion state committee, showing the
character of Mr.. Bailey, which, if
printed, would shake the state to it's
| very center. Mr.. Bailey's personal
| character is his weakest poino of at
tack, and his history is red olent with
escapades and acts of the lowest
character, but in continuation of the
policies outlined at The inception of
| this campaign, the managers OF Mr.
fCraddock's canvass have steadfastly
refused to take up these persona
matters, and have continued to edu-
cate the people along taxation lines,
feeling that while there might be a
few who might believe these campaign
| lies against MFR. Craddock. many
more votes would be gained for him
among the honest, fair-minded, studi
Gus business people of the state.

paign. They were then telling how
much afraid of their issues the popu-
lists and democrats were because
Craddock would not debate with
Bailey. Now that Mr.. Craddock has
met Bailey in two of the leading cities
OF the state, that charge alone is re-
futed. But that is not all. Vernon
J. Rose has challenged the Hon.
Chester I. Long to debate with him
and tell the good people of the
Seventh district what particular one
thing he has done for them, and the
lordly Chester has declined to tell.
He has backed out completely. Mr..
Rose charges that he introduced in
congress, the last one, liz bills, and
succeeded in getting just three of
them enacted into law. One in an
amended form relating to Usage In
dian lands, became law and two
private pension bills escaped the pig
con hole. These are things Mr.. Rose
comedies the present congressman
has done. But he has forgot that he
appointed the postmasters for the

very Respectfully,
ALBERT 0. ALLEN,
Auditor of State.


These figures are considerably
shove those given by Mr.. Craddock,
as the railroad assessors of that state
have held their annual meeting since
his figures were published and added
about 100000 to the valuation of
the property of such corporations.
Compare the Missouri Pacific as
sessment of s19, 2o3 in 'spoor old Mis-
scarf" with the 81 .492 this road pays
on IN republican Kansas, and think
for while which is doing the best.
Thea look at the figures Tor the Atehi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe. 81, ,839 in the
Democratic state, ard $6, 749 in the re-
publican one. and debate the question
whether you would like 20 have the
railroads pay on as large percent
age of their property as you do on
yours. Then take the Rock Island
system, which pays on s18, 337 per
mile in Missouri and on s7,O64 in
Kansas, and let US know what you
think of our board of railroad asses
sors. On your farms you are assessed
for one-third of the selling value. On
the railroad properties those corpor-
ations pay on only from one-seventh
to one-tenth of the actual valne of
their stocks and bonds. If you were
as rich as they and could employ
slick-tougued lawyers to harangue

and not one of our people had any
thing to do with it. The republican
state committee had chance to have
this bill debated before the people of
this state, for. the fusion committee
issued a challenge about month ago
Offering to put up Major Harvey
against the senator to debate this
very measure and the offer was
promptly declined. 1t looks to us
like horse play for the committee to
come toward at this time and ask us
to go into a schoolhouse campaign
on a topic that they were afraid to
meet us on in the state campaign.

the assessment of railroads, and this
is entirely due to the fact that the
populists raised the assessment in
1893 about ten millions. So the fus-
ionists gain credit where the senator
by telling half truth would have
had us believe we had been recreant
to our faith.

the Seneca Democrat

From the Seneca Democrat.
MIR. Bailey and the republican press
of Kansas are claiming that the rail
roads of this state are paying more
than their share of taxes. But here
are the figures for the actual value
and the assessed value for the differ
ent kinds of property in Kansas:
Actual Value Assessed VAL
Farms -. $643, ,OOO, 600 s163, ,000, 900
Personal.
property. 22O, ,OOO, 900 $4,000, 600
Railr Dads. $4,000, 600 $4,000, 900
Look over these figures and when
you see Bailey let him figure out why
$40, coo, 900 worth of railroad prop
erty is assessed at Sc, ,0O0,O 900 less than
1920, 900, 900 worth of personal prop
erty. You help to pay the personal
property tax while non-residents pay
the railroad tax. Why not work and
vote for Craddock who promises to
do all in his power to make these
non-residents pay their just share ol
the taxes?

About Railroad Assessments.

From the Hiawatha Democrat.
Mr.. Craddock's statement that the
railroads of Missouri are assessed
for more than twice as much per mile
as the same roads are valued in Kan
sas for purposes of taxation is denied
by some republicans. In order TO
ascertain the facts, Mr.. Floyd james
OF Hiawatha wrote to the state auditor
of Missouri requesting a statement as
to the railroad assessments in that
state. The following is the reply he
received:
DEAR SIR:-In compliance with
your request l give you below the
value per mile assessed against the
principal trunk line railways in this
state:

Flowers in the Hair.

One long discarded custom is be-
ing brought into favor-that or wear
ing flower in the hair. Had woman
realized to what extent the pretty
custom was admired and even loved
by the majority of the opposite sex IL
never would have fraternized With
the spinning wheel, the blue dishes
and the lace mits in the dim and COB
webbed garret of things past.
To man, and that man sweet
heart, this little art, for such 1t is,
of putting a flower in the hair is a
signal to all the sensitive sentiment
within him. If you doubt this, look
to the voicings OF the poets. There
you will find holding sway and run
ming riot as roses on an old wall,
such phrases as "a blossom in her
tresses," "a flower to bewltch me
in her hair" and that rose above her
ear was my undoing."
Whether the hair be black or
brown, red or gold, the charm OF
primeval femininity remains the
same.

Subsequently the suicide theory was
brought forward and held to be unten-

eral in Paris was directed by the
