THE CAMPAIGN BLUFFER.

Every campaign brings out the cam
paign buffer.
The buffer is the man who wants
to bet that the state is going Demo-
cratic and asserts tha6 he is just hon
ing to bet his money on that sort of a
proposition.
If the buffer strikes crowd made
up of people who don't bet he grows
more and more emphatic. He insists
that he has anywhere from 800 to
S., 1000 70 prove that he is correct in
his judgment. But every once in a
while the buffer gets called. The
other day at Beloit one of these men
sauntered into a crowd that was sit
ting in front of the hotel. He COM
menced by saying that he had been a
Republican but that this year he
would like to pick up little money
betting that Hoch would not be re-
publican was In the crowd but his
identity was unknown to the buffer.
For while nobody said anything and
the buffer became more vociferous.
Said that he had tried all over the
state to get a bet but he couldn't. FL
nally the Republican spoke quietly.
you say that you have not been able
TO get bet?"
mo, SIR" said the buffer
How much money would you like
to put up that Hoch will not be re-
elected?"
''I'n put up $780," answered the
bluffer.
We'll, stranger" said the Republic
can in the same quiet tone, II guess
that you have found the man you
have been looking for. L will Just put
up $500 right now that Governor
Hoch will be elected

Strong Argument for Hoch From Vet

Strong Argument for Hoch From Vet
eran Wichita Editor.
Col NJ M. Murdoch, the veteran edi-
tor at Wichita, who for years has been
one of the most trusted and sanest OBJ
servers of public affairs in Kansas, is
not deceived by the clamor of the Kan
sas City Star and other representa-
tives of Missouri and a Bourbon Dem
ocracy for the election of Col Harris
of Chicago as governor of Kansas. Col.
Murdoch recognizes that the Kansas
City Star, Notwithstanding it's wide
circulation among Kansas Republic
ans, is Democratic in all it's instincts.
Regarding the relations of Missouri to
the present political campaign in Kan
sas, Col. Murdoch recently said:
Most of the late talk of defeating
the Republican state ticket, most all
of the fault-finding and criticism of the
present Republican administration.
as also practically all of the gratuitouS
blow about the perfection and superb
GRITTY of the men composing the Demo
cratic ticket, was inspired by Kansas
City, Missouri, interests, and voiced
by it's anti-Republican and politically
Independent newspapers. For years
the commercial, financial and political
interests of Kansas have been domin-
ated by those of the town that stole it's
very name from this state. During the
past two Republican administrations
that CRATER has lost its grip on the
legislative and political affairs of Kan
sas. Notwithstanding this Missouri
municipality stu holds and rules Kan
sas commercially and financially, the
surety of the continuance of these

| ence and dominate the state po-

ssoch win Win in Counties OF on


Earl W. Evans OF Wichita, a law
partner of Ex-Governor Stanley, has
been travelling over the state quite
extensively recently and is of the opin-
ion that the backbone of the Demo
cratic campaign is broken 1T is my
judgment that the entire Republican
state ticket will be elected without a
decrease of the Republican majorities
of 1904 he said, while speaking OF
1.-THE Democrats started out to make
a hot campaign, but discovered before
they had made appreciate progress
that they were without an issue Nat
urally. party cannot make an ag-
gressive campaign without an issue
Seriously speaking, there is no rea-
son why the Republican ticket should
not win and every reason why it
should. The Hoch administration has
done everything it promised to do and
many things beside. 1t has been a
success Now, 1 have been in close
touch with affairs in Southwestern
Kansas throughout the summer, par
ticularly conditions in the oil produc-
ing counties. The Republicans are
strongest in the oil counties. The oil
producers-that is, the strongest ele-
ment of them-are pleased with
Hoch's course. In saying this I speak
of both Independent producers and
those reputed to be allied with the
Standard" This last statement is par
ticularly significant, coming from Mr..
Evans, in view of the fact that he is q
local attorney for the Standard Oil
company.
''The Standard will not oppose
Hoch because of his support of the in
dependent producers?" was asked.
1T am not in a position to say what
the Standard will or will not do was
the reply, but I do know that it never
has taken part in Kansas politics No
effort was made by the Standard to
block oil legislation at the last session
of the legislature. None is being made
now. The Standard simply is not in
politics in Kansas. With me it is SIM
ply question of good government for
the state. Hoch has given the state
good government and he will undoubt-
eddy be reelected

ed to hedge .swell. . said lie, lit is
little too early TO bet yet.
ssPerhaps," continued the Republi-
can, ..you would like to bet some less
sum than $780, / would be perfectly
willing to accommodate you with any
amount you may name, say $3.50, or
$500, or 800, or $50. or s25, or just any
thing that you may wish will suit me. :"
The buffer hemmed and hawed and
sidestepped but refused to put up any
amount whatever and as he walked
away the crowd gave him the equine
laugh.
Another case of the same kind oc-
Cured down in the southeast part of
the state. A Republican who is one
of the most quiet, unassuming men
in the state listened to travelling
man who was talking loudly about
the amount of money he was willing
to bet that Harris would be the next
governor of Kansas. Finally the
travelling man declared that he was
ready to put up thousand dollars
"Where are you going?" asked the
quiet Republican.
s'TO Parsons"
81 am going to Parsons myself"
said the Republican, land as soon as
we can get to bank In that town /
will take your bet of thousand"
"Who are you?" asked the travelling
man.
mo matter who 1 am" answered
the Republican, just go to any bank
you wish when we get to Parsons and
1 will put up the thousand"
"Well," said the travelling man,
commencing to hesitate, Il don't
know that 1 have quite a thousand
with me-"
''Any sum that you may name will
suit me-" said the Republican. "say
we make it $780,
The travelling man commenced to
squirm and admitted that he was not
prepared to put up $500.
ssThen make it $3.50, or 800, or any
old sum you wish
Still the travelling man refused to
put up the cash.
Perhaps you would like to put uI
$3.50 against s5O0?" said the Republi-
can. "What, not willing to do that?'
"Well, / will put up 800 against your
$50 or $50 against your $25."
Finally the buffer backed out en-
tirely and refused to bet anything at
any odds.
There is of course DO argument In a
bet. Betting on elections or anything
else for that matter is not to be com
mended but after all il is pleasant
and adds to the gayety or sin bur
dened world to see a buffer called

Abilene, and Mr.. Engle went to Man
haitian. Kans., to see the milking ma
chine that they are using in the dairy
department In the experiment sta

well there but is rather expensive for
the farmer. 1t costs from $500 to 5000
and is run by steam power. George
Lenhert, of Abilene and A. d. Blan-
ched, of Harrington, Kans., both ex-
periencsd dairymen, have seen the
Woodbine mixer, and found It's work
satisfactory. 1t works on the same
principal as the Manhattan machine.
Both gentlemen have ordered "Foot
Power Cow Mixer" seeing it is a
mixer that will suit the farmer who
milks from ten to thirty-five cows.
One machine will be at the Dickinson
county fair held at Abilene showing
its work.
A good many of our farmers milk
from twenty to thirty cows. This
machine would not only lessen their
work but would make milking a
