In alleging that illegal votes
were counted for Henry Walker
two years ago and legal ones for
E. H. Nixon thrown out, the Cres-
set assumes to be detective, prose
cutor, Judge and jury. It's easy
to allege but quite impossible to
substantiate. The Cresset has
also managed to discover that
Allen Smith was illegally elected
and it will soon nerve itself up to
say the same with regard to w. H.

no foundation for any of the
statements.

No PATRIOTIC Kansan and nc
self-respecting honest man can
vote for Tom Kelley for state
treasurer this year. Neither Mr..
Kelley nor his friends have attempt
ed to deny the charges which have
been made against him while state
treasurer or while clerk of his own
county. Republican papers have
frequently charged that he has been
guilty of enlightenment and should
be in the penitentiary, and then
proceeded to substantiate the
charge. The man, therefore, who
votes for Mr.. Kelley by that
act says he is in favor of crooked
ness and dishonesty in public
officials.

to everybody as a capable, upright
young man. He has served the
city several times as councilman
and has made good officer. He
is not an office7seeker in the com
monty accepted sense of the term,
but this year his party asked him
to make the race for clerk of the

the nomination but since it was
given him he is doing all he can
honorably, to secure the election

Communicated.

The people of the nation are to de.
eide this fall great issue, not political
but an issue between men. 1t is not
an issue of good government or an
issue of no government or of govern
mental policies. The people of Kan
sas are confronted with an issue, viz:
railroad domination vs.. the good of
the masses, also, corruption and
venality VS.. government by the peo-
pie.
The people Of this senatorial district
are to decide whether they want rail-
road attorney and lobbyist to represent
them and make laws for them during
the next four years or plain common
man, one who will act for the interest
of the people as against corpor alton
greed.
If were a democrat and lived in
Atchison ! would vote against Bailey
Wagner for this reason: he cannot
act for the people when the interests of
his railroad are jeopardlzed, therefore
living in Barber county, l certainly
cannot vote for Tom Noftzger for the
the same reason. The people of Bar.
Der county must decide this fall
whether they endorse Nixon and his
method of being elected representative
two years ago, also whether they en-
dorse the graft of SIPS 90 of the people S
money that he received at the hand of
the legislature to evidently allay the
quaims of his conscience.
Was Nixon entitled TO have S votes
counted for him that were never cast
for him or anybody else? Was Nixon
entitled to the Sl25OO voted him by
the legislature? It was the peoples
money, now it is Nixon's. If you en-.
dorse his manner of election, vote
for him; if you wish to continue the
and graft endorse the S125.O0 affair,
vote for him; but never again claim
that you are in favor of fair election
and an honest count and that the
majority should rule.

WALTER S. CANT is an expert

has assisted in the county trcasur-

always proved accurate and cor

SINCE the Cresset has undertake
en- to smooth over the underhand-
ed way In which votes were count
ed for Nixon in Elwo God township,
will it kindly explain why those
eight extra votes were not counted
for the other republican candi-
dates. The others had as good
grounds to claim them as Mr.. Nix
on. If it was right to compel the
county commissioners to count
them for one, it was right to count
them for all. But the plain truth
IS that it was wrong, and very
wrong, to count more votes than
were cast, for anybody. If that
kind of tactics are persi sted in ii

SOME republicans are claiming
that populiStS who were formerly
republicans and are about to re-
turn to the republican party, are
going to tumble over themselves to
vote for Z. H. Nixon this fall. The
Populist who does it must certain
ly forget how Mr.. Nixon used to
abuse Populists when they were
IN power. If there is a man in the
county whom ,Populists have a
grievance against it is Mr.. Nixon.
