IT is very fortunate that the plu-
ralities are not down to the . and 3
mark this year. If they were, there
might be cause for ex-candidates
to feel little nervous. There are
irregularities in a number of the
townships. For instance, in Medi-
cine Lodge, Valley and Turkey
Creek townships, the votes cast for
the candidates for a particular
office, plus the number of void bal
lots, exceed the total vote. In
Medicine Lodge there were 81 void
ballots, yet there were 422 votes
cast for the candidates for clerk of
the district court, when there were
only 438 voters recorded on the
poll books, and a number of those
did not vote for a district clerk at
all. in Turkey Creek and Valley
the same error appears on the coun-
ty attorney vote, and there are
other irregularities in other town
ships. The returning boards in
some of the townships have also
gotten badly "balled up" in certi-
flying their returns, thus leaving
the bars down to another ''Elwood
deal of 1902. Very few township:
came up with the requirements Of
the law in this respect. They in
variably missed it in dealing with
straight party votes. They either
failed to carry them forward to the
proper column on the tally sheet OF
else used tally marks instead o
figures on the tally.sheet in wa.
that would give political trickster'
material to beat their way int
Office. Election boards can not b
too careful in certifying returns.

THE Republicans got far the worst

II is now up to Governor Hoch and
the republican legislature to give the
people of Kansas clean legislation and
honest administration. The Republl
can party by its platform and by in
ference has promised to do a number of
good things and refrain from doing
certain bad ones. If the Republican
administration does not fulfill these
promises the Republican party in
Kansas will get the worst licking two
years from now that it has ever receiv
ed and right here and now we will
say that if the republicans do not live
up to their promises they ought to be
icked.-Hutchinsen News.
But one thing can be depended upon.
The News will defend the party and
administration regardless of the record
they make. A party that will endorse
such men as Kelly, Dayhoff, Coleman
and Burrows has no license to talk
about "clean legislation and honest
administration"

HE isKINs" GOV. BAILEY.

The following from the K. e. Journal
shows what the republicans of Kansas
think Of their outgoing governor. A
party that will defend a man like
Kelly ara abuse man like Bailey is
certainly getting down very low:
State Senator F. d. Smith makes
few remarks In his Kinsley Graphic
about the letter written by Cy Leland
in which the senator was accused of
sending his wife and son to Europe
with money procured by bartering his
vote and influence in the senate. He
says the Leland letter was circulat-
ed in his district in the form Of a
circular 1T charged the candidate for
SENATOR" says Smith, with offenses
that they dared not openly prefer, and
which no man would father. A more
cowardly, dastardly and cruel SANDER
was never circulated, and because of
its utter cowardlce, its apparent and
malicious mendacity, it wholly failed
in it's effect"
The senator says he intends to pursue
the williams" who made this assault
upon his character. He takes up
other phases of the campaign, and
speaks of the attack on Tom Kelly as
follows:
lit was the vilest and most con
scienceless ever made against a republi-
can candidate and il was fatheIed in
part by bastard republican whom the
party has repudiated and kicked into
merited oblivion. Fooled in his effort
TO prostitute the party to his
own base uses, utterly beaten and dis
credited at the bar of party opinion, he
resorted to the lowest devices of Islander
and libel degraded the high Office of gov
ernor to his own ends and made Its occu.
pant pitiful and contemplate puppet
who merely squeaked when punched by
| Cy and shrieked the discordant de
famations that this hired ASSASSIN
purveyed at the public expense"
