There is an old saying tha; All is
fair in war and love, but there Is more
evil actin ia politics than in botl
love and war
When the petit n for the Hearst
ticket was presented in Leavenworth
county 1t received 5000 signatures. On
e'ection day the ticket received two
votes In Leayenworta nOuntMs
While It is true that almost ariS
body will sign a petition for almost
anything. there is n douot that the
Hearst petition was the work OF men
who hoped to profit By IT, That is
they hoped that the Hearst ticket
would draw enough votes from Bryan
for instance, TO benefit the Tai, score
In the same way there are plenty a +
men who would have signed petition
X necessary to put a Prohibition ticker
In the field, hoping Il would draw the
Taft strength and thus hep 5le Bryan
cause.
When analyzed this shows that men
think they can mis- cad or fool others
when the others are trying TO w-rk
the Identical gamC upon them. II
should teach those men who signed
tie Hearst petition. and caught a
water haul. that they simply c0nnived
in disreputable game and prolted
nothing H Hf
Roorbacks, false accusations. appeals
TO prejudice. and other schemes T.
make votes, Invariably fail. yet at the
next election the same old methods
are p-actieed Il seems as il men can
not learn from experlsncs that tfpth
ties
All Is not falF in politics. and dis
honest tricks are just as ahhorrena %
a rlght MINDED n9aH as the same tricks
wOuid be in business deal.
