Big Meeting at Smith Center.

At Smith Center on Monday of
this week the home of Joe Bur-
row, and Webb McNall, and in a
county which was once the popu-
list stronghold, Senator Harris
bad a meeting which was a cracker
jack. At this meeting the candi-
date answered some of the attacks
made on his record as a state SEN
ator. We regret not having the
space to give his answer but will
do so at a later date. Suffice it to
say at this time that it clearly ex-
plains his attitude during the leg
islature of 1897, to the satisfac-
tion Of all. In Smith county the
former pOpulists are uniting solid
ly behind Harris. and predict that
he will carry the country.

Gov. Hoch has not done much
in this campaign but explain. He
has been explaining about his ap-
pointments in the text book mat
ter, the Katy land regard case, why
he handed the Kelly resignation
back, why he does not GUST the
republican mayors of wide open
cities, fire the looting school fund
commissioners or his tin horn at.
torney general. But he has not
vet found time to explain, why the
railroads dominated the state con.
vention, or named his running
mates or why he is handing
Charles Curtis boquets in hi.

or in short, why be has so much
to explain. As an explainer, he
is Johnney on the spot, and so viii

Senator Harris al Hayes CITY.

At Hayes City on Saturday &C.
Cured one of the largest meetings
thus far held. The candidate
was given a flattering reception.
The Union Pacific band, CON-
posed of employees of the Union
Pac. shops there was present and
the station platform was crowded
with those who were there to
welcome Col. Harris. He spoke
of the general prosperity that the
country enjoyed. He spoke OF the
work of men such as Folk, La
Toilette, Hadley and others we're
doing. He made mention of the
fact that the Santa Fe road was
paying taxes on an assessed valu-
alton of $1,000 per mile. when the
officers of the road acknowledged
that it was worth $4,000. Con-
tinuing he said, We must have a
law regulating the rates in this
state. We have got a fairly good
law today, but what has been done
in regard to that lawl You may
have any number of laws on the
statute book. but this law, like
many others, has been left to
molder to the dust of antiquity.
Coleman and Hadley Compared.
Mr.. Coleman commenced suit
in this state against the Standard
Oil company. but abandoned the
suit for some reason. In our
neighboring state of Missouri
there has been young man who
forced the Standard Oil company
to the wall-Mr. Hadely. | wish
to say that if | have the honor to
be elected governor my first Off
cial duty will be to ascertain if |

enthusiasm.

Boeh, xeCray, Book Trust.

Topeka Capital, Kansas City
Journal. and D. 0. McCray have
been working themselves into a
frenzy over the reading of Nc
Cray's record by Mrs. Burton.
Gov. Hoch says McCray's life is
ar. open book. That is true, and
some Of the pages which have
been read by Mrs. Burton and
Senator Harris to the people,
were thought to have been sealed
up when the governor made his
statement.
1t may be true the present text
book commission has made no
contracts since their appointments
and that the same time it is true
that the contracts made with The
book trust we're made when the
same d. 0. McCray now on the
text book commission was on that
commission. More than that, the
governor tries to make it appear
that the commission is under fire.
That is a mistaken idea of his: 1t
is D. O.McCray and the Governor
that is under fire.. and we'll they
might be. The reason the COVER
nor is under fire is that knowing
McCray to be what he is, he ap-
pointed him.
The State Journal, (Rep.)
says, in view Mrs. Burton's
data, it would probably have
been just as well had Governor
Hoch left McCray off the COM
mission.
The Kansas City Star lind
says.
IF D. O. McCray is a lobbyist
of the Book Trust and Governor
Hoch was aware of such connec.
tion, his appointment as a mem.
Der of the textbook commission
should never have been made.
The fact that the Governor has
said nothing TO disprove such
connection may be taken as strong
presumptive evidence of his in,
ability to clear McCray of the sus-
picion which associates him with
the meanest graft in Kansas.

Another Chance For McEeaI

In order to smooth over the dam.
age he did while making a speech
and insulting his audience at the old
settlers picnic in Douglas county a
few weeks ago, Tom McNeal has had
himself invited to make a speech in
another township in that county. OF
course the republicans say it is for
the purpose Of showing that the peo-
pie Of that county were not with Har.
MS as reported. but then We all know
that it was done for Tom to further
apologize for the break he made in
his former visit to Douglas county.

THE CAMPAIGN ON.
Harris is Winning The Voters to His
Support. 4 Bright Outlook.

The state campaign may be
SAID to be we'll under way. Both
Governor Hoch and Col. Harris
have been making speeches daily
for the past two weeks, and their
entire time to the close of the
campaign will be given over to
filling speaking dates. Both com
mittees have gotten to work un-
der a full head of steam, by an
other week an army of men will
be on the stump and in other WAYS
hustliBg for votes. The recep-
tons rendered Col. Harris, the
Democratic nominee, have been
something remarkable, and of
that brand which has caused the
Republicans to sit up and take
notice. and indeed many of them
seem to be on the anxious seat.
His audiences have been large.
attentive, and of the thinking
kind. He has named his points
clearly and left no doubt with the
voters as to what he will do if
9 elected. He has stated his posi-
ton on the issues in this state
squarely and clearly. He has
answered those who have attempt
ed to criticise his actions and rec
ord in the past, and has left them
no room to stand on, not even
with one foot

read that he said President Roose'

would not change his attitude, so
they had to.

ALTHcUGH in times past there has
been good reason to think differently
and many think differently now. we
believe that there not only is a proba-
hility that Mr.. Bryan will be the next
Democratic nominee for the president
cy. hut there is more than a strong
possibility that he will be elected. Mr..
Roosevelt was never the choice of the
element of his party which has ordl-
narily been i'm control. They regard
ed him as unfit for such n position by
reason of his lack of experience in
craftsmanship and his possession of Il
disposition that is not i'm accord with
the real spirit of Republican institu-
tiOns. He has not proved a diSappOint-
ment to the people who were doubtful
of him from the beginning, but has
to the masses of the American people
Whatever else may be said of Mr.
Bryan, ii would be extremely difficult
to show one single incident or circum-
stance i'm his long public career that
is diSCreditab!e to himself or to the
American people and it is not to be
denied that his conduct generally has
been TO increase and extend the res
peCt in which he has all along been
held by such large percentage of the
American people. The country is now
getting ready for a change. The peo-
pie who elected Roosevelt before have
been driven away from his standard
ana they will neither support him nor
Bryan will not ask for their help. They
will however, bend their efforts i'm a
different direction and they will bring

Germans Near Fort Mill.
Charlotte Chronicle. Saturday: Mr..
S. S. McNinch has received another
party of foreign laborers, who were
sent out this morning to his brick
plant on the Catawba river. The par
ty consists of 16 Germans, the majority
Of them young men. Mr.. McNinch has
been highly pleased with the energy
and industry Of the Germans, who
have been at work for several weeks.
and he believes that this last lot will
solve the labor problem for him. He
now has about thirty-five foreigners at
work Among the number sent out
this morning Is a young fellow who
has five diplomas from schools in Ger
many but he Is unable to speak a
word of English. He will be a very
valuable man, Mr.. McNinch thinks,
when he learns the language. He seems
willing to do anything, to become ac-
quainted with American manners and
customs.
