WHEN YOU GO TO POLLS TUBS
DAY VOTE RIGHT.
Entire Republican Ticket in Dicki1-
son County viii b Elected If Re-
publicans Vote for Their Own Can
didates-Nark In the Circle.

All that Dickinson county Republi.
cans need to do to elect their whole
ticket this year Is to be sure and at-
tend the polls on election day and
vote the ticket straight. There Is no
need Of any Republican in Dickinson
county being defeated. Every candle
date on the ticket is worthy OF the
support Of every Republican. No
candidate on the Democratic ticket
can possibly bo elected without the
votes Of Republicans. Every time
Republicans elect a Democrat or Pop
ulist "just because he Is q good fel.
low and needs it" that Democrat or
Popul'st uses all the influence and
power he has personally or officially
to build up q machine to fight Repub-
licans. Every time they as officials
do any favor for a Republican they
send him away under the impression
that he is under some political obli.
cation for the favor, and then 20 to
their own political associates and
brag about how they have fixed an.
other Republican vote. Republicans
are just ss accommodating % Popu.
lists or Democrats, and they will not
attempt to press q political obligation
along with every favor they do.

DON'T join THE DO WRONG CLUB.
Fusionists Are Desperate.

The Dickinson County News, ably
seconded by the Abilene Democrat,
has been engaged during the last two
months in campaign Of abuse and
ialsehood that is probably without q
parallel in the history Of this county.
In their efforts to gain support for
Mr.. Harris their candidate for repre-.
sentative these papers have hesitated
al nothing that might mislead or de-
lude their readers. Immediately
after the last Republican county con-
vention they began by charging that
fraud had been practiced at the Re-
publican primaries. They followed
this up by accusing Emil Grosser
with being subservlent to the trusts
and q tool OF the railroads. When
this silly SANDER failed to find cre'
dence they charged MIR. Grosser with
being responsible for the recent
change in school books.
The News In each issue says
Grosser voted for this change, when
as matter Of fact, the school book
law under which the change was
made was passed five years ago and
has not been changed since.
But 1t Is about the proposed tax
bill that the News and Democrat
have been doing their heavy weight
lying. Every week they have pub
lishsd extracts from the bill, gener.
ally garbled and changed to suit the
needs OF their case. They then
charge that the bill does not tax the
railroads and that 1t iavors the cor
pora.ions and injures the farmers,
and finally that Emil Grosser is the
sole author Of the bill, all Of which Is
untrue.
The bill was prepared By the tax
commission consisting Of eight men,
bers, including the attorney general
state treasurer and auditor Of state.
Under It's provisions the increased
revenues coming from railroads and
all other corporations would decrease
the amount Of taxes required from
farmers and other private property
owners. Every corporation in the
state is opposed to the bill.
The bill, however, is simply in th'
nature Of suggestion to the legis'a'
ture. When that body meets it viii
take it up the same as any other bill
and consider 1t paragraph by para
graph and section by section; and tht
legislature can be trusted to act just
as wisely upon the tax question a'
upon any other matter that may
come before it,
Meanwhile the disreputable fight
that the News and Democrat have
been making upon Emil Grosser is re-
acting in his favor and will increase
his majority.

Farmer, Arc tho Ones to Be- Benefited
bv . Revision Of Tax taws-About
this Campaign.

Emil Grosser, Of Enterprise, mem
Der Of the legislature from Dickinson
county and member Of the State lax
Revision commission, appeared yes
terday before the State Board Of
Equalization in behalf Of his county
and made comparative showing rel
alive to the assessment and equalizs..
tion Of real estate in Dickinson county
as compared. to that OF adjoining
counties, and stated that the taxpay-
ers Of Dickinson county feel that they
are paying more than their proper.
tionste amount Of state tax, compared
to that Of other counties. He also
made showing that he thinks Dick
inson county is paying more than its
proportion Of state tax, as compared
to adjoining counties and on this
basis be asks that the board equalize
the assessment and give Dickinson
county q fair and impartial equaliza'
tion as compared to that OF adjoining
counties. Topeka Capital, July TO-
1902.
MIR. Grosser called the attention OF
the members Of the board to the facts
and they finally admitted that our
land had been rated too high.
The report Of the state board Of tax
equalization as published, shows a
net increase in assessed valuations in
this state over last year Of $3.50, 1888.
In most Of the counties in this section
OF the state the amount Of state taxes
was increased.
This increase varied from $40 in
Gsary county to s24l in Marion
county.
In the following counties reductions
we're made compared with last year,
Saline county, I'll.
Riley county, $9S.
Clay county, 81.
Dickinson county, SLAB.
This 81, ,44S was saved to Dickinson
county because Of Grosser's vigilance
and familiarity with state affairs. 1t
is but one instance where be has
saved the county money.
1t pays to have a representative
like Emil Grosser who accomplished
things for his constituents.

Ia An Old Soldier.

B. D. Fry, candidate for commits
sioner in the First district, came to
Kansas from Ohio in 1878 and has
since been resident Of this county.
He served in the seth Ohio volunteers
from Oct. 25, 1861, to April rs, 1866.
He has been clerk Of Hope township
two terms and trustee seven terms.
That shows what his home people
think Of him. He has made q good
commissioner and should be reelected.
Abilene weekly reflector., 1902-10-30

The fact that Grosser has always
worked and voted against bills to
take the assessment out OF the hands
Of the township trustees and will con-
tinue to do so gives the lie to the
Fusionists' campaign argument that
he does not take that view OF the
question. He represents his constit'
uents truly.

Does Harris? Ask Solomon which

Solomon's experience with Harris

day that he thought the Socialists
would poll at least 25O votes in the

means goodbye to the Fusion ticket.
An indication Of the gaining
strength Of Grosser is seen in the

to the result OF my experience last
year with milo maize, beg To say,
on July 81 planted In drills three
feet apart, dropping the seed from
six To eight inches. The season, as
you are aware, was extremely dry
and no corn or grain was raised.
Notwithstanding this, the m o
maize matured, yielding about sew
enty-fve bushels of grain and three
tons of excellent fodder to the acre.
As feed for horses and cattle l
found 1t eminently satisfactory, and
regard it preferable to either corn
or sorghum, and furthermore, the
safest and most profitable crop to be
raised where drouthsprevail. After
corn and other crops had persisted
from the drouth the milo maizefiour-
ished and remained perfectly green
until matured. l have planted q
large acreage this season, and feel
satisfied it will yield me two to

the places mentioned and they said
the corn crop was almost total
failure and if the drOuth kept on
cotton also would be failure,
while rain might come and cause
this crop to yield well, still they
mast have rain this summer to make
cotton. No rains in the past twelve
months to wet the subsOil and even
now the surface moisture put there
by the showers this spring is almost
exhausted and when that Is all gone
cotton will go with it. This coun-

any of the last rain that fell in 9TH

corn is not only burned up but most
of the farmers throughout this
northern and eastern part OF the
county are in hard shape for water.

the Porters Bluff road, five miles
east of Ennis said he was hauling
water four miles for all his family

from well 60 feet deep, and his
neighbors were doing the same
thing. P.R. Thompson, who man.
