Coffeyville Journal: Democratic pa
pers in the state are trying to educate
the people to believe that Hoch and the
Republican party are supporters of Sen

be a few individuals in the state who
will back these gentlemen up but Hoch
is eminently too fair a man and Of too
much honesty to enter into such a
thing.

the woman before she realized her peril.
Miss Croton for an instant seemed pow
erless to act Then she started to go back
from between the rails. The engine
struck her and knocked her down.
She was rendered unconscious through

she was takSh TO the passenger station
