JUDGE DALE AT GARRETT.

Judge David M. Dale, our candidate for gov
ernor; F. II. Chase, candidate for railroad
commissioner, and Hon. Thos. Grisham adj
dressed fair.sized audience in the Auditorium
last night. The meeting was presided over by
A. F. Hatten, Of the Westphalia Times.
Mr.. Chase was the first speaker. His adj
dress was very brief, and his remarks were
confined to the railroad question.
Judge Dale spoke at considerable length,
and handled the subject of taxation aud rail-
roads in manner which proved that he is
thoroughly conversant with those questions.
We wish that every voter in the county could
have heard him. Judge Dale is not an orator,
but he knows what is talking about, and he is
abundanty able to explain his position to the
people. The Judge is "safe, sane" man,
and knows the needs of the stockmen, farmers,
laborers and business men of the state. No
one who hears him speak can misunderstood
his position. We wish we could review his
speech, but lack OF time and space makes this
impossible. One thing is certain: If elected,
Judge Dale will fill the executive Office with
credit to himself and honor to the stute.
Mr. Grisham's speech clinched Judge Dale's
statements, and his talk was of more general
nature than the other addresses. He is very
entertaining speaker.
One good thing about last nights meeting
was that the audience was composed mainly OF
voters and taxpayers

In all the calculations for the piping out of
natural gas, mention is made of any effort
to pipe from the lola field. The reason is
good lone, as the pipe-out scheme was solved
by the factories of that district many Years
ago. The city secured the location of the fac
tories; the factories secured the gas for their
own use, and are holding it. And when the
gas is in the hands of the factories, there is not
much room for the CRATER to get his hooks in
the burlap.-Derrick.

Thos Dolan, the Democratic nominee, are both
Irish and both Catholics. The only thing up

We never heard it charged that Governor
Bailey had hand in raising The taxes of the
state. Did you? And yet, Bailey is the only
one of the state-house crowd turned down at
the state convention. The fellows who did
raise the taxes were all re-nomnated. We do
not believe the taxpayers of Kansas want to
re-eect that crowd.
"Who raised the taxes?' 1t was not the
Republican party of Kansas, bat few men in
that party who used the party as vehicle to
ride into office. The rank and file of the Re-
publican party is composed CT men who are as
honest as the men of other parties, but they
are welded to their party, and will support
candidate named by the party bosses, even
though he be thief.
