The election in Kansas City, Mo-.
should serve as an inspiration to all
of those persons in this country who
are anxious for cleaner politics. A
republican was elected even in that
democratic city. But he was not
republican so much as he was man.
A lawyer with a practice which he
felt that he could not afford to sacri.
flee, and yet the one man in the mu.
nicipality who stood out e-eminently
as the real leader and as the citizen
who knew most about how to run the
city affairs as they should be run, he
was elected by large majority. 1t
was a forward movement in favor of
right government, and a victory for
clean politics.

Last week the Wayne Democrat de-

the public that w. n. Huse didn't
know hat he was talking about, when
he told the facts regarding the libel
suit into which he was thrown because
he supported Mr., Mccarthy for con.
gress by printing things dished up by
McCarthy's committee. This week
even Goldle has come to and is now
sitting up and noticing things. He is
ready to concede that Mr.. Huse has
proven his assertions in regard to Nc.
Carthy and the Third district represen.
tatives abuse of both the Norfolk ed.

would prefer to oust the republican
party in this district, admits that a
good clean man is needed. 1t says:
"As between The Norfolk News and
Congressman Mccarthy the average
politician is between the devil and the
deep sea, Mccarthy makes a good
denial of The News accusations, but
the newspaper comes back at him, and
proves its former assertions as to
Macs ingratitude by quoting Judge
Robertson of Norfolk on the matters

Man can build locomotives and rail
