In accents bold the Kiowa News
Review speaks out and accuses the
machine faction of being traitors
to the republican party. It calls
upon the old wheel horses to fall
in line under the new leadership
or be forever ostracised. We take
it that the News Review is for the
entire republican ticket but so far
it has failed to hoist the names of
the candidates. This is the point
Of criticism and indictment it
brings against the other republican
papers in the county.

A Lawrence humorist by the
name of Joe Topham has made a
forecast in the Topeka Capital and
predicts Taft's election, practically
leaving Bryan no votes at all in the
electoral college. He gives Taft
such states as Missouri, Nevada,
Montana, Colorado and Oregon,
and puts Tennessee, North Caro-.
lima and Oklahoma in the doubt
full list. The man should alter his
name just a little. He should
call it "Topheavy."

Eliminate party politics and OBJ

Yet there are thousands who will
vote this unjust tax upon them.

An attempt was made at the
outset of the campaign by the
friends of ]. L. Bristow 10 connect
Senator H. P. Farrelly with cor
poration practice as a lawyer. The
attempt was a fiat failure but a
few of the smaller papers are pub
fishing statements which are un-
true and entirely without founda-
ton. The following interview
from Senator Farrelly should for
all time quiet the false ISLANDERS
which have been so industriously
circulated by MIR. Bristow's friends:

1t has been many years since the
south end of the county has had a
representative IN the courthouse.
This year the democrats have
nominated w. B. Clarkson of

The only real paRics which the
country has experienced have been
during Republican administrations,
yet the friends of Mr.. Taft are busy
circulating the report that the cleo
ton of Mr.. Taft means prosperity
to the country while the election
OF William Jennings Bryan means
apanic. The three great panics in
the United States occurred in 1879,
1893 and 1907, and the most dan
gerous of all of them last year
when Theodore Roosevelt was in
the presidential chair.

The Medicine Lodge Cresset has
finally dug up that old moth eaten
canard about Bryan opposing pen
sions. Mr.. Bryan has denied this
story in three different campaigns
and most republican papers have
been fair enough to say that the
story is without foundation. In
polit ical matters it is difficult for
the Cresset to be fair.

If you want to know how Hon.
w. c. Afford, the democratic
candidate for representative stands
at home, enquire of his neighbors at
Hazelton, republicans as we'll as
democrats. The people of Hazelton
honor and believe in him because of
his loyalty 90 Kansas and Barber

naturally, has made him a few
