A WORD TO REPUBLICANs.

The campaign of 1902 is about
over. Before the next issue of this
paper reaches it's readers, the re-
suit will be known. Will it be
victory all along the line or will the
enemy be able to gain a foothold
here and there for future contests?
This depends largely upon the man
ner in which republicans close up
the work of this campaign. great
deal may be done in the next few
days. This is an off year and there
is liable to be a large stay-at-home
vote. In close counties, this stay-at-
home vote may change the result.
A county officer elected this fall will
be used by the opposition as rally
ing point in the campaign of 1904.
A good days work now will do
more towards winning the next
presidential election than three
days work two years from now. Talk
to your neighbor about the import
ance of going. to the polls. See that
the republican vote is cast early.
Check up the list and see that none
are missed. Close up the ranks and
stand together and the victory is
won.

THE TRUST QUESTION.

The vote of the people of Kansas
at the coming election viii have
direct bearing upon the trust ques-
is very plainly marked and there need
be no mistake as to what your vote
means President Roosevelt stands
squarely upon the proposition to give
the national government control over
these organizations. 1t is generally
admitted now that the states are pow
erless to cope with this new evil. The
republican party recognized this fact
years ago and introduced a resolu-
ton in the national house of repre-
sentatives submitting a constitution
al amendment giving congress power
to regulate and control the trusts
The vote upon this resolution shows
plainly the attitude of the two par
ties Every republican except four
voted in favor of it and every demo-
crat except two voted against it,
and although the republicans had a
majority in the house the resolution
failed of passage because it required
a two-thirds vote.
velt's position and believe that he
has selected the proper remedy for
this evil, you should say so by your
vote at the coming election. You
can do this by voting for the repub-
Hcan candidate for representative in
your county, for the republican can
didate for congress in your district
and for the republican congressman
at-large upon the republican ticket.
These officers, if elected, will all have
a vote bearing upon the trust ques-
tain Mr.. Roosevelt and the republican
party upon the position they have
taken upon this question.
On the other hand, the democratic
party has taken the position that
free trade is the proper method of
handling the trusts, but the fact that
trusts flourish in free trade coun-
tries and that some of the strongest
trusts in this country are not in any
way protected by the tariff, would
seem to be a conclusive argument
against the democratic position. But
even if it were true that a reduction
or abolition of the tariff would in
jure the trusts, it is doubtful whether
the people of this country are ready
to ADOPT this measure. The dire re-
suits of the last democratic attempt
to tinker with the tariff are so fresh
in the minds of the American people
that they will hardly be willing to
trust that party with this important
subject soon again.
The trust question is an issue in
| this campaign If you are with Roose-
welt and believe in government con-
troll of trusts, vote the republican
ticket.

THE LEG1sLAr1vE SITUATION.

AS the day of election approaches
it becomes more and more apparent
that the democrats have abandoned
hope of electing their state ticket
and are turning their attention to
the legislative situation. By quiet
work in close districts, they hope to
be able to control the lower house
When an attack is directed against
a certain point in the line of an
army, the entire army is interested
in Strengthening and defending this
point. This is what republicans
should do in the closing days of this
campaign. There will be a republi-
can governor and a republican sem
ate. The opposition should not be
allowed to control the house. There
is no reason why they should do
so. The state is republican and a
large majority of the legislative dis
tricts are republican. If your dis
trict is close, it is that much more
reason why you should get closely
together and elect your representa-
tive. 1t will do more to strengthen
the party in your county than al
most anything you can do. If there
are fractional or personal differences,
they should be forgotten in the gem
eral determination to win. See that
every republican voter goes to the
polls and that he fully understands
the Importance of this part of the
contest A large majority in the
house of representatives will greatly
strengthen the party for future con-
tests.

Republicans should discounte-
nance any attempt to trade at the
coming election. There is every rea-
son why this should not be indugled
in. In the first place, the member
of the opposition who approaches
you with a proposition to trade dis
plays a form of political dishonesty
that should arouse your suspicion
A man who will agree to trade q
part of his ticket will be dishonest
enough to not carry out his agree
ment when he comes to vote The
practice discrepancies a party and
even suspicion that it is being car
ried on arouses jealousies and creates
discussions that will make trouble in
future campaigns Don't trade.

WA-KEENEY, KAN. OCT. 80, 1902.
To the Voters of Trego County:
AS the campaign is drawing to a
close some malicious falsifiers are cir
culating reports of certain Republi-
can candidates trading No attention
should be paid to such reports which
are made for the sole purpose of IL
juring the Republican nominees, all
of whom are confident of the success
of the entire ticket. The report that
/ have agreed to assist in electlng
John Halbleib commissioner from the
1St district, in return for votes for
myself is one of the many lies being
circulated. l am not supporting Mr.
HalblIeb but am deeply interested in
the election of Aaron Cockrell as am
every other candidate on the Repub-
lean ticket.
Very Truly Yours,
A. B. JONES.

BEvERIDGE TO YOUNG MEN.
A great many young men will cast
their first vote at the coming cleo
ton. Never in the history of this
country has it been more important
to the young man that he make no
mistake in the selection of political
home. Upon this matter we commend
to the young men of Kansas the fol-
lowing, taken from an address deliv-
cred by Senator Albert J. Beveridge,
of Indiana, at the convention of the
National Republican Leagues, at
Chicago:
young blood is republican blood.
It is the blood that believes and
builds; the blood of faith and hope
and deeds. That is why there is no
political home for young Americans
except in the republican party.
Young Americans believe in the fu-
ture. They do not think that all
do not think that the fathers left
nothing for the children to do except
to admire the achievements of the
past. The young men of America be-
lieve that the republic has just be
gun its career. They look upon the
nation as they look upon themselves
-masterful, with the vitality of
youth-and not as an old man who
has lived his day and totters to its
close, muttering that the book of
works is closed. The republican par
ty is organized optimism; the demo-
cratic party is organized pessimism.
Faith in American righteousness,
American power, American resources,
this is the soul of republicanism.
Disbelief in American purpose, Amer
lean might-these are the soul of dem
ocracy. Republicanism and assertion
of Americanism supremacy. Dem
ocracy and denial of American des-
tiny. How can you, young men of
America, hesitate between this al
tentative of darkness and of light ?
You sons of sires who knew no fear,
no doubt, and no retreat. Your IA
theirs beheld the work of their ia
theirs and said: 1T is the greatest
work yet done by man. We are I'LL
worthy of such parentage if we build
not with our hands work still larger
And so our fathers moved forward
from conquering to conquest. Now
in our turn, we behold the work of
our fathers hands and say: History
hos witnessed No deeds no
work so full of blessing to our coun-
try and the race. Let us, drawing
: from their example Inspiration and
not despair, build larger and better
even than they. Thus, and only thus,
shall we be worthy of the blood they
gave u.s."

It is impossible to prevent faction
al differences among republicans at
party conventions, but those matters
should be dropped at this time. Moth
ing discrepancies an army more than
having some of its members skulk-
ing in the rear or firing upon their
friends. 1t is time for republicans to
get down to the front-get on the
firing line. Train your guns upon
the enemy-don't shoot your friends.
If you have an enemy in the repub-
hcan party, fight it out with him at
the next convention. A great English
admiral upon the eve of one of the
worlds greatest battles, called his
men together and said to them: EN-
gland expects every man to do his
duty" Election day is approaching.
The party of Lincoln and Grant, Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt, asks every re-
publican to do his duty. Stand by
your colors and your guns

Peter DeBoer, of Grinnell, brother
in-law of Joe Poffenberger, was in the
city Tuesday. Pete had a narrow es-
cape Sunday two weeks ago. He WAS
sitting at the table reading newspa-
per and his wife was leaning over him.
Lightning struck the house and also
struck him on the left side and pi.ssed
over his stomach and leg, burning the
flesh and tore his shoe into shreds.
His wife was knocked senseless but
the children escaped injury. Pete is
still very sore and nervous.
