The Republicans are pointing
with pride to Major A. NJ. Harvey
as topper to their cause. Harvey
was always Republican at heart,
and he has been gathered to his
own. As the general attorney for
the American Book Company, he
pretended to affiliate with Demo
Gratis and Populists, and two years
ago he carried his bluff to the ex.
tent of running for Congressman in
the First district against Curtis.
But of late he has been unable. to
fool anybody, so he comes out as a
full tiedged machine Republican,
and in his speeches he defends the
railroads, the book trust and other
corporations which are paying the
expenses of the Republican cam
paign.

Does honesty in politics, good,
conscientious public service, clean
methods and lofty character, count
in a camprign? The result in Hon.
O. P. T. Ewell's case, after the
votes are counted next week, will
tell. If Mr.. Ewell is nor reelected
there will be little incentive for
any political party to nominate
that kind of men for the office of
representative in the future. The
voters can always depend on get
ting about what they want, and if
they go on record next Tuesday
for the anything for office policy"
and turn Mr.. Ewell down, it will
be. a strong argument for all polit-
ical parties in the future to nomi-
nate that kind of men. Every in
divldual voter is going to help to
shape future political policies of all
political parties next week.

The Republican managers few
weeks ago posted a bet of 5 500 to
$3.50 that the low man on the Re-
publican state ticket would have
more than 10000 plurality. The
bet was promptly taken, and it was
the last one posted on those terms.
Everybody said it was the same as
betting on Hoch, as he would be
the low man. The managers prom
lsed not to do it.any more. Since
then they have posted two bets of
$500 to $3.50 that Hoch would
have 10000 plurality over Harris.
Both were promptly taken by Har-
ris Democrats, who wanted more
on the same terms, but were unable
to get it. The Republicans confess
that they proposed the bets as
bluff, hoping to stem the tide which
they admit has turned toward Har-
ris and the Democrat1cst state ticket.

What is sauce for the goose
should be masticated by the gan
der. The republican leaders of this
city argue that because the demo-
Gratis now have two members of the
board of county commissioners, the
republican candidate in this dis
trict should be elected. The pres
ent board of railroad commission
ers are all republicans. Every 9TH
er state board is composed of re-
publicans-not one democrat in
the bunch. Have you heard that
any of the republican leaders are
going to vote for one-third of the
democrats to sit on these various
state boards? Not on your life.
Republicans have never been
known to ooncede anything to 9TH
er political parties. The demo
Gratis of Barber county have been
liberal enough. They have con-
ceded district Judge, clerk of the
district court and treasurer to the
republicans and where democrats
offer good, clean men who are
qualified, republicans should be fair
enough to reciprocate.

The Republicans are losing the
Russian vote in Kansas on account
of the high tariff. The Russians
don't talk much, but they keep
posted. They have found out that
the harvester trust ships machines
to Russia and sells them to the
Russian farmers cheaper than they
sell them to the farmers of Kansas.
They know that the harvester trust
is able to perpetrate that outrage
only by means of the high tariff.

This paper has no personal fight
to make on Commissioner B. E.
Wadsworth who is standing for re-
election ON the republican ticket.
We regard him as the fairest rephb-
hcan who has ever been on the
board and personally he is clean
and honest, but we are doing him
no injustice when we say that the
democrats offer a man more suit
able for that particular Office in the
person of A. w. Flint. Mr.. Flint
is better adapted to this special
work. He has had more business
experience and, best of all, is, iso-
lated from politicians. 1t is we'll
known that a handful of republi-
can bosses right here in Medicine
Lodge have been in control of
things for many years and there is
growing sentiment to break up
the combine. Practically all the
men on the ticket live here and
their election can not do otherwise
than centralize the political power
right here in the little circle. Mr..
Flint lives between Medicine Lodge
and Sharon-a little closer to Sha-
ron, and has no entanglements or
environments that might cause him
to favor one locality or people over.
another. The office is a money
loser to the one who is elected and
we believe Mr.. Flint can stand the
loss better than Mr.. Wadsworth.
Mr.. Wadsworth is one of our bust
est contractors and has no time to
fool away on the board anyway.
Vote for Mr.. Flint and after 1t is
over both candidates will bless
you.

This is the last time that the In
dex can appeal to the voters of
Barber county, before election, to
vote for Z. L. McCracken for sher.
III. 1t has been shown that Mr..
McCracken is in every way super
ior to his opponent on the republi-
can ticket, both from the stand
point of qualification and personal
merit. If, after all that has been
said, the people blind their eyes to
the cause of truth, and elect the
republican candidate, theirs is the
greater condemnation. This con-
test will be test between partisan
prejudice and sober judgment.
Which side are you on?

Gus capable young lawyer who
guarantees that the duties of the
Office will be faithfully discharged
in the event of his election. He is

tice. He is thoroughly honest

appreciate your support. His op-
ponent lays no claim to being a
lawyer and could not take care oil
the duties of the Office, if elected
besides it would deprive Isabel oil

Governor Hoch and his hackers
are trying to fool the people when
they say that the Katy suit was
brought only to quiet title to some
controverted lands. On page $50
of the Katy's brief the railroad com.
pany asks specifically and in terms
for money damages "from the treas.
ury OF the United States" for an al
legged breach of contract. The suit
is not to quiet title, and talk of
that kind is mere subterfuge.
THAT" says William Allen White,
was the chloroform on the hand
kerchief that they put to the nose
OF Governor Hoch. If the road
had desire to quiet titles to the
land, it would have brought suit
only against the government, which
issued the title to the land. The
government is made a PARTY to the
suit because the road demands
money damages for the action of
the government. Blood money is
what the Rockefeller railroad
wants and that is what the corpo-
ration is suing for. The company
asks in plain English in its blief
that the 100000 acres of land in
controversy be appraised, and that
the federal taxpayers of this coun-
try dig down into their pockets and
pay the railroads the estimated val
ue of these rich farming, mineral
and timber lands-about so mil
lion dollars"
