Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-10-31
Unworthy of Support.

The Lindsborg News, formerly
edited by Supt. Frank Nelson,
has come out inopposition to T.
T. Kelly for state treasurer, and
also against c.. H. Luling for
superintendent Of insurance.
Toe News is now edited by Miss
Anna Carlson, and is among the
most widely quoted papers in
the state. 1t says:
sNThe name of T. T. Kelly, Re
publican candidate for state
treasurer, is in our estimation
absolutely unworthy a place on
the Republican ticket, conse-
quently we have dropped his
name~ No man who believes in
strictly honest office holders can
vote for a man after his guilt
has been SO conclusively proven
as that of Z. Z. Kelly.
s"rhe Republican candidate for
state insurance superintendent,
Chas. ii. Luling, certainly does
not deserve the vote of any per-
son who believes that drunken
ness should disqualify a man for
holding a state office.

and that of 1892 and 1898. In
both these years the Republican
press was making wild claims of
majorities that ranged from 40
to rs thousand. The Fusionists
were quietly saving wood and
making no claims, and in both
those years the Republicans were
soundly drubbed. The same is
true this year. The Republican
press and managers are giving
out big polls and estimates and
are trying to use them for argu
ments to combat the Fusionists.
They will receive the same kind
|of a drubbing this year that
they did in '92 and '96 only in
greater measure.
SENATOR F. DUMoNT SMITH
having been turned down by his
[State Central Committee in his
efforts to debate the Tax Law,
has now chal lenged the 10 zeal
Fusionists to debate. The Re
publican can didate for Rep re-
sentative from Kiowa county,
which adioins Mr.. Smiths coun-
ty, is making his cam ign
against Smiths Tax Bill, and
has issued a challenge to Mr..
Smith, Republican Senator, to
debate the Tax Bill in grove
on the line between the counties.
What a spectacle!
SOME of the opposition candi-
dates are entirely to thin-skin-
ned. A man who cannot CONTROL
his temper, but must needs rare
up and snort, and kick, and
below whenever something is
said or done that does not Just
agree with his ideas of political
campaigning. had better never
get into politics. If he does en-
ter the arena, he must remember
that the opposition is going to
watch his course mighty closely
and to check-mate any scheme
regular or irregular-which he
attempts. That is politics, and
the man is a chump who does
not realize it.
Nor half the coal miners have
gone to work; three-fifths of
them are told when they apply
for work, that their former
positions have been filled, and
all are required to sign an agree
ment which causes them to re-
nounce their union organization.
The mine owners did not agree
to the arbitra tion board with
out making provisions that will
give them the upper hand.
SHAWNEE county republicans
are call shot to pieces" Watch

An ''independent republican"
county ticket is running, sup

IT WOULD be interesting to
know just how much Doodle the
Topeka Advocate got out of the
republican campaign managers
this year for it's dirty work for
that party. We are told that a
cash contribution of $3.50 by the
democrats and populists would
have kept that paper in line.
Stop the coal monopoly, and
eliminate the chances of a coal
strike with all it's disastrous re-
suits, by the government taking
possession of the coal fields by
right of eminent domain, and
operating them. You never
heard of a strike of government
employees, in any avocation.

EVERY voter who has young

/
EVERY voter who has young
|sons growing up to manhood;
sons whom they hope to see
prosperous In some kind of busi-
ness calling; sons whom they
| want to see launched out in mer-
chantizing or the professions,
should look well to the trend OF
today. Capital is being concen-
trated as never before in the his
tory of the land. Competition
is being done away with by the
absorbing of small interests by
the large ones. Thousands of
small tradesmen, small manufac-
turers, travelling statesmen, and
clerks are being thrown out of
business and into the ranks of
the farmers. laborers and me-
chanics. And the republican
wise men tell us we can do Meth
ing to stop this withering con-
gestiOn. Is it true? Are we no
longer a free people to construct
our laws SO that such things
shall not be? In the income tax
law, tariff reduction, taxation of
utility values, and adjustment of
railroad rates and tariffs the
democratic party offers plan
ofrelief. Remember this, fathers,
when you go to the polls next
Tuesday.
THEY tell us that there are
about fifty negros now at work
on the Koen ditch. A republi-
can CRATER Inadvertently gave
it out that "there would be so
votes against Lutschg." So, SO!
Wonder if the voters in other
parts of the county won't keep
this threat in mind? And why
should those negro laborers vote
against Lutschg? Before Mr..
Lutschg was elected county clerk
for the first term he, being a
young man who was always
willing to turn his hand to any
kind Of employment that fur
nished him an honest living
took his shovel and worked as a
day laborer on that same ditch.
Is it for that reason the republi-
can party managers propose to
vote the ditch gang against him?
SLOWLY, but surely, the better
class of colored men are bling
to the fact that the only love
the republicans of today have
for the black man warns up
about election times-after the
nominations are made. Then,
after the polls are closed, this
spasmodic affection, so fulsome-
ly shown for a short period, dies
out, and you hear no more about
it until the eve of the next elec-
l.tion. In many states the repub-
licans are openly announcing
that they cannot nominate the
negro for any office, and that
they do not want him in their
conventions. And the intelligent
negro is becoming an indepen-
dent voter.
| VOTERS, watch the count ol
the ballots carefully, and permit
no arbitrary ruling in favor OF
any candidate or set of candi-
dates. The hope of the Nation
is in a free and fair ballot. The
republican managers of Kansas
| (not the rank and file of the re
publican party, for most men il
all parties are honesty have

The political campaign of
1902 is now practically ended
ended entirely SO far as the
DEMOCRAT is concerned. We
have attempted to treat every
body connected with the cam
paign fairly, and without un-
just injury to personal character
or reputation. If we have been
imposed upon by misrepresenta-
tion, or a too Jealous desire up
on the part of friends of oppos-
ing candidates, which caused
this paper to say that which
Eas not born out by the facts,
then we have been brought
once more to reflect that cones
friends are sometimes ones worst
enemies a fact that many men
who have to do with politics will
agree upon. An earnest desire
to better mankind, to uplift
humanity and crush out fraud,
pretense and underhanded in
trigue should be the wish of all
people, and we shall try to shape
our course as editor of the DEMO
GRAFT to those just ends. We
hope that every election officer,
every candidate and every voter
will, on next Tuesday, conduct
themselves in such manner that
Justice may be done to all, and
when the will Of the majority is
ascertained let all abide by it
cheerfully and as becomes loyal,
patriotic American citizens. :

THERE are many hundreds of
voters, in ali political ranks, in
this county who do not think
that it is a woman's business to
be a county official, and who
will not sanction that policy of
therepublicans of Barton county.
John w. McCauley is exception
ally well qualified for the posi-
tion of Register of Deeds, fully
as well qualified as his woman
oppo ne Mt on the republican
ticket, and deserves, and we be-
lieve he will get a large majority
of the votes cast for that office.
Barton county is not ready to
turn her offices over to the ladies
mot just yet awhile.
NOTWITHSTANDING the desper-
ate efforts some few men are
making to defeat Will Klein for
the office of Sheriff, that gentle
man is gaining friends every day.
No one for a moment questions
his superior ability to fill that
office-and the most efficient Of
ficers in all positions is what we
want. Mr.. Klein will have no
outside interests to take his at
tention as a sheriff; he will de-
vote his whole time to the duties
OF the office, and should be elect
ed by an overwhelming majority.
PoRTo Rico is enjoying some
of the blessings (?) of republican
rule. Down there last week the
republicans. who have CONTROL,
appointed none but republican
judges on the registration
boards, and these iudges-true
to the tenets of modern repub-
licanism-refused to permit any
but republicans to reg ist er.
Shooting affrays and assassina-
tions are already growing out
of this republican carpetbagism.
No REPUBLICAN has for q mo-
ment entertained the idea that
Judge FEEDER could be beaten for
an election to the second term as
Probate Judge of ofBarton county.
He has shown himself so exceed
ingly well qualified for the office;
so courteous, pleasant and fair
that everybody wants to keep
him there for another two years.
Few men possess the happy
faculty of pleasing all people m
his official capacity that w. b.
Lucas, present Clerk of the Dis
trict Court and candidate for
reelection, possesses. 1t was in-
deed a happy selection when the
people picked upon him to serve
them in that capacity. Put him
there once more.

A VOTE for the republican
nominee for the leislature will be
the same as a vote for Long for
the q. S. Senate. Long, as con-
gresham, cast his vote and used
his influence against organized

should assist in sending Long to
the House or Senate.

DURING the last two years of
re pub can ad ministration in
this state the state taxes on
farmers, merchants, etc., have
been increasing, and the taxes
paid by the railroads, telegraph
companies, Pullman car COM
panies and like corporations
have been reduced. Is that
right? Will you vote the repub-
lican ticket and continue favor
ing the railroads to the disad-
vantage of all other taxpayers?
Or will you vote the democratic
ticket and help bring about a
change? It's up to you.

ATTORNEY GENERAL GODDARD is
quoted by a Topeka paper as
saying: 81 expect to be a SUBJ
ject for the insane asylum within
three days after the election. l
am seriously considering the ad-
visibility of dis appearing as
soon as least my vote on cleo
tion day and hiding out for
awhile. Candid, indeed. There
is no doubt about the republi-
cans all over the state being in
the same frame of mind, after
the votes are counted and the
just retribution which thatparty
has SO richly earned has been
visited upon them. Any party
which will stoop to the littleness
that has been shown in the
framing of the ballot law, and
it's Interpretation by the con-
scienceless tools of that party,
should be swept from power.
