WORTHY CANDIDATES.

A peculiar privilege presents itself
in the local campaign to the great
mass of the citizens of Topeka and the
vicinity who believe in the preserva-
ton of law and order through the
honest and conscientious enforcement
of all the laws on the states statute
books without fear or favor. whether
they relate to the prohibition of the
sale of liquor or to anything else with
which the laws have to deal.
This privilege, and it should be a
pleasure for the voters, irrespective
of party lines, to take advantage of it
is the opportunity that is afforded to
retain in office John ]. Schenck. the
county attorney and John NJ. Wilker-
son, the sheriff of Shawnee county.
Mr.. Schenck happens to be a Demo-
crat and Mr.. Wilkerson happens to be
a Republican, but that is no reason
why the Republicans or the Democrats
should support either of them
and not the other for par
ty reasons alone. The Republicans
and the Democrats in Topeka and
Shawnee county will only be doing a
duty to themselves and their COM
munity If they join hands on a COM
mon basis and give their undivided
support to Mr.. Schenck and Mr.
Wilkerson.
