1T WILL Be
A GREAT VOTE
Everything in Readiness for
Election Day.
WILL BE ALL ONE WAY
Republicans to Have a Record
Breaking Victory.
WILL BE ALL ONE WAY

There will be a big vote in Wichita next
Tuesday. If there is any disposition on
the part of the voters to remain away
from the polls it is not apparent. 1t has
been two years since the people OF the
county had a general election. and interest
during the last week has reached a point
where no one talks apathy.
With every indication of a landslide the
Republicans have worked in the campaign
strenuously and with the same vigor, en-
G: gy and watchfulness that would charac-
terize a campaign where every vote was
needed.
The result Sedgvick county next week
will be record breaker. There is no
doubt about that. The Republican ma
joriues will reach figures that have not
been recorded in any previous election in
this section.
There is no controversy as to the mean
ing of the big victory which will come TO
the Republicans here. 1t willbe a popular
Endorsement of present conditions, Of
prosperity which is s9accentuated in this
city and county which are growing more
rapidly than any other part of Kansas.
The whole country is fourishing. and the
entire west, and in the-west Wichita leads
everything in growth and thriving condi-
items. The big Republican victory will be
q reflection of this state OF affairs.
Roosevelt will have his share of glory in
the victory. His admirers in this county
arc legion, and are not confined wholly to
his own party. The people generally like
the vigorous. frank, quick, decisive man
ner in which the young president takes
hold of things, and will next Tuesday
send him word that they approve Of him
By means of the election returns.
The problem up now is to get out a big
vote This must be done through getting
out an early vote This rests with the
voter himself.
The whole canvass by the Republicans
in Sedgwick county this fall has had the
lead of an unusually strong Republican
county ticket. Every man on it is hard
worker, who has the confidence Of the
people.
The central committee has the situation
in hand admirably. and is ready for the
arduous work of election day. The man
asement has been perfect.
In the campaign have been two power
full organizations. the Old Soldiers Re-
publican club and the Young Republican
club. The membership in both is very
large and all are enthusiastic.
At their last meeting the old soldiers
PASSED the following ringing resolutions:

Republican club, assembled at City hall.
