Candidates For Commissioners.


In the management OF the business
OF the county, it is often Of less i'm
portance that there be abe clerica
officers, though those places should
always be filled welk than that there
be at the head OF the county's affairs,
men who are able to look after its
interests broadly and have complete
.coatrol Of all its affairs with entire
ability to manage them for the inter-
'ests Of all the people.
No officer of the county ia really OF
80 great Importance as the county
commissioners. 1t is through them
that policies are dictated and methods
are decided. They say who shall re-
ceive money and how much. They
levy the taxes and dispense the large
sums that 20 to make up the county's
expenses.
The Republicans are particularly
fortunate in their nominations for
these offices. In the Second district
they have named Chas. W. Peterson
OF Enterprise, one OF the most highly
esteemed and generally respected
citizens Of the county. Mr. Peterson
has lived in Dickinson county over q
quarter Of a century. He has made
success as q farmer and businessman
and has been honored by his neighbors
many times. time after time holding

self for any Of this, but we who have
liv d beside him have realized that he
was one businessman OF Abilene who
could always be depended upon. II
he were not present his friends could
always speak i4r him. This is great
deal to say Of q man. There are
oceans of prominent people whose
friends cannot speak for them. They
have doubts and troubles and are apt
to find fault-if they are mot consulted.
Mr.. Brewer is not that kind.
In his political life Mr.. Brewer has
always been Republican. He was
chairman Of the Republican Central
committee two years ago, and con-
Quoted a campaign upon such clean,
high lines and with such businesslike
earnestness as to win the respect and
admiration alike OF the men Of oil
parties.
These are some Of the things that
make him available in the best sense
Of the word to represent 81, 900 people
in the state senate at Topeka. In ad-
dition he has the advantage Of state
wide acquaintance, which is Of course
valuable to any man who enters the
legislature. For several years he has
conducted extensive wholesale busi-
ness operations, which have brought
him into contact with the people in
all parts Of Kansas, and which have
taken him to every section Of the
state. He will 60 to Topeka with an
acquaintance that will make him a
powerful factor in the legislative halls
from the first day Of the session.
1t is Of much Importance, too, that
the state senator belongs to the domi-
nant party in the senate. Without
question the next senate will be, as
was the last, Republican. Every
senatorial district In the Fifth Con-
grossional district will send Repub-
ican to represent it. The scattering
Democrats who will belong to the Sem
ate will sit on the back seats and
watch the proceedings without taking
any material port in them. The bills
hat become laws will be introduced
ind passed BY Republicans. To elect
/ Democrat is to elect a nonenity so
ar as any active participation in the
aw-making Of the state Of Kansas is
,ocnerned. The $4,000 people Of the
'2nd district want to be represented,
n fact ss well as in name.

Mr.. Brewers Candidacy.

In the government OF the state
great resppnsih lity depends upon the
upper house OF the Legislature, In
Kansas Az State Senator's act upon
every piece Of i'gislatit that goes
upon our statute books. They are
three times " powerful as members
OF the iouse OF Representatives, for
there ARE but third as many OF them.
1t becomes Of great i'm portance that
the voters OF each senatorial district
take special care in selecting their
representative among this body OF
men. The 22nd district, which is
composed OF Dickinson and Clay
counties, has approximately $4,000
people. One man will be- chosen at
the coming election to represent these
10000 people in the Senate of the
State Of Kansas. So it is no simple
matter, nor enc that should be left to
chance, that the man who occupies
this important place and carries this
great trust should be, beyond ques-
ton, qualified in every resbect to full
fill it well.'
The Republicans have nominated as
their candidate tof this position Mr..
J. L. Brewer Of this city. They be-
lieve that be fultills the conditions in
an eminent degree, and we who have
known him for quarter Of a century. |
who have been associated with him In |
the various matters that come to the
businessmen of country town, are
confident that the choice is q good one.

The annual municipal convention
was pulled off at the court house last
Saturday evening and furnished the
usual amount of amusement for
crowded house. The principal attrac-
tion was twenty minute "go' be-
tween Thomas Kendrick and Theodore
Rosenberg, vocal pugilists who have
frequently made their appearance on
the local boards. The former has
standing yearly engagement for this
occasion while the latter does an occa-
sional stunt by way of diversion. Ref
cree Ross decided the bout in favor of
Rosenberg and his decision was unan
imously upheld by the audience al
though Kendrick claimed foul
Kendrick introduced the following
resolution and moved its adoption:
Resolved: That this convention is
in favor of municipal ownership of all
public utilities. Also in favor of &C.
curing and retaining Grizzly creek,
and is opposed to extending the light
and water franchise for another TWEEN

In support of his favorite hobby,
Mr.. Kendrick laid great stress upon
the high rates charged for both light
and water in Glenwood and the cheap

FOLLY OF A CHEAP PLANT

SINCE the of New Castle has been referred to as
model by the adherents of municipal ownership, it
may be amiss call the of our readers
to the fact that the New Castle system although
altogether inadequate to the needs of that small town
has already cost 800 900 and the town asking
for adjudication of additional water to use which will
require the expenditure thousand dollars extra
The New Castle system furnishes splendid example of
the folly of putting in cheap plants greater part of
the expenditure has been for corrections repairs
the plant was only makeshift proposition at the start
If Glenwoods NJ O. adherents had listened attentivelv
this week to the testimony in the district court in the
New Castle they would evidence to war

tackled the sincerity of Mr.. Kendrick

the people, they would be very chary
about taking up with his municipal
ownership ideas which the speaker
declared were not supported by facts,
figures or experience.
