Mayor Sampliner is in demand as a
member upon the official board of the
city's commercial body. AS bust
ness man he shines like a golden
eagle, beside those who would cry
him down. There are few of these
it is true. His counsel and advice ON
business affairs are much sought for
Under what plea then have a. few dis
gruntled democrats gone and placed a
ticket in the field. OF course those
who have placed this ticket in the
field don't like Mayor Sampliner.
Mayor Sampliner has offended some OF
them probably. Well it ought TO be
a good recommendation that he has
| offended some of the barnacles which
have been hanging onto the official
skirts of this city for years. The
ticket William Campbell placed his
name after as chairman, is only part
of his creating. the major part is the
creation of Mr.. Allison. who DOM
want to figure much in this cam.
paign. but nevertheless he is one who
is responsible for placing the munici
pal ticket in the field, and we dom
guess he is ashamed Of the matter

such and who has held Office under

When William Campbell begins to
tell truthful things, the people
will ask themselves why it is that the
man does not be fair at some time or
another in his career. The men and
women of the Fourth ward taught him
a lesson. when they defeated him for
alderman, even though they had to
write the name of his opponent on
the ticket with pen. And again
the people would not believe his
truthful" tales. when he ran for
commissioner. At that time he ca st
reflections upon some of his opponents
because they were engaged in the
banking business. He kept mighty
quiet though. after it was proven how
familiar he was to the two and
three per cent. problem. back in Kan

No one made crying demand on
William Campbell to put up his own
money to place a ticket in the field
1t is as much as the democratic and
republican campaign committees can
do, to raise sufficient funds to place
their tickets in the field. But here
is an individual. once a banker, who
is anxious to spend his own money to
run ticket in opposition. to the
two regularly nominated tickets.
Something in the wind. don't you
think so good people? You know. if
you will take time to reason just
