1.-THE speech of Ex-Governor Bailey
was what might be termed a hair
raiser He handled Mr.. Stubs with
out gloves. accused him Of being a
hypocrite and demogague. He cited
freely from stubbs' speeches and said
that if the Republican party was as
bad as Stubs had claimed it to be,
Stubs had better get out and join the

Bailey and belonged to the same class

Simpson and Mary Lease"
Frank farrell, of the Holton Signal,
who is a Democrat and also friendly
to Senator Longs nomination by the
Republicans, says that Jackson county

The Signal says:

Long will carry the county.

stantial boom here. Since 1t has be-
come known that Long is in close touch
! with Roosevelt and Taft. Republicans
are saying that possibly he isn't so bad.
after. all. What improvement would
Bristow be over Long? they ask. Long
can beat Bristow on ability and ex-
perience, and probably is just as hon
est.

represented in the lower house of the
legislature by two Democrats, should
send a Democrat, also. to the senate.
