Didn't Work as Expected.

There was jubilation in the Rees
ranks, outside Of this county, when
the news OF the Chronicles treachery
to Smith came to them. The follow
ing from the Manhattan Republic
tells the stOrys
1.-The best news Of the day is that
the Abilene Chronicle has joined the
'tRees for congress" column. This
eliminates Sam Smith as factor of
any consequence and makes the
nomination of r. R. Rees almost a
certainty"
The influence of the Chronicle was
Overrated. No great uprising Of the
people followed the Chronicle in its
villianous course. By this time peo-
pie have found that its influence here
where its publishers are known is SO
insignificant as to be absolutely
worthless in political campaign.
They are not so hilarious now.
Smith didn't scare. The Republicans
of she county spoke in their resolu-
tons passed Friday night in no un-
certain terms. They don't like
traitors and are not afraid to say so.

Doing Its Dirty Work.

Last week was the critical week Of the
Fifth district canvass. and what made 1t so
was the detection from 3. 8. Smith OF his
county supporter, the Abilene Chronicle
Until its issue Of last Thursday the Chroni-
Gle was for Smith, the home candidate, but
1t switched to Judge Rees, and his supporters
are consequently very hopeful that he Will
now win the nomination for congress over
Judge Calderhead. - Topeka Capital.
The Capital is informed that the
detection has failed Of its purpose
Because Mr.. Smith consulted with the
Chronicle before becoming candi-
date for congress and informing Its
editors that without its support he
would not become candidate, it was
thought that he would step down and
out when that support was with
drawn. Smith is no gutter. He
isn't born that way. He is like bull
dog, which has been attacked from
the rear, takes a new grip and chews
a little harder.
The Chronicles attack has not in
jured Smith one whit in this county
or with people who know him and
its traitorous action in deserving him
is receiving the just condensation OF
men of all parties who believe
in honesty in politics as well as in
other avenues Of life.
The Chronicles motives in its at
tack on Smith are believed TO be
purely mercenary and will forever
condemn it to the merited scorn OF
fairminded people everywhere. III
Judge Rees and his supporters be-
lieve that such politics can win
him friends they will be badly
fooled men.

long Pleads Guilty.

4VAAA = ANtsNA0 0NA@SS
W. Y. Morgan: Attention has beer
called to the rapid changes in the
charges against Long necessitated BY
the introduction Of facts and the pro
gress of events. The last allegation
is a serious one and certainly de-
mands investigation. 1t comes aftel
practical admission that all the
charges about Long being anti-Roose'
welt and voting for Wall street are
discarded, and it consists Of the state.
ment that Longis buying the support
Of Kansas communities and individ.
uals by the many and large approPri-
atoms he is securing for public build
ings in the state and the numerous
pension claims and bills he has expe-
dited or secured by his admittedly
strong influence.
II Long is to be defeated for re-elec-
ton ON this charge he is in great dan
ger, because it is true. He is guilty.
OF course he has not accomplished all
he wanted to do along this line, but
he has done lot. He began the series
OF outrages few years ago when he
secured afederal building for Hutch
inson and be has kept up his hellish
work of debauching public sentiment
and getting public buildings for Kan
sas without even pretense Of regret
OF course be did not do all this by
himself, for the rest Of the Kansas
delegation we're equally responsible.
Just as is charged, he did all he could
and that 100000 appropriation for
Kansas City, Kas., and the last aP-
preparation for half dozen interior
Kansas cities, including Emporia,
may be attributed in part at least to
the confidence reposed in Senator
Long by his colleagues and the adj
ministration. And it is equally as
susceptible Of proof that Senator Long
devotes much Of his time and influ-
ence to helping old soldiers whose
cases are hard to get through the red
tape Of the department.
Long, with his accustomed OBJ
stlnacy, will stand on his record. All
Of the Republicans In Kansas who be-
lieye that they are being debauched
BY his efforts for public buildings and
pensions will be justified in voting
against him, for when he is reelected
he will have more strength and more
standing in the senate and with the
Taft administration and there is no
telling what awful things be might
do along these insidious lines.

Makes No Denial.

The charge brought against the
Chronicle in the resolutions passed at
the mass meeting Of Republicans Fri
day night that it had been bought to
betray Smith has not been denied and
it is believed will not be. Wat that
price was, whether in so much cash
or promise Of the postmastership
or other Office, is not known. But
that there was q stated consideration
admits of little doubt. The reasons
given for its betrayal are SO aimsy,
silly and contradictory that we are
surprised any defense was attempted
More respect would have been felt for
IT il no justification had been urged.
Sam Smith entered the congress
sional race with a solemn pledge OF
the Chronicles support. given by its
and he has done nothing to
merit that papers deserhon. He was
gaining friends and strength every
day and had every reason to believe
that he would win the nomination
and in spite Of the Chronicles Hessian
will do so yet.

THURSDAY, JUNE 95, 1908.
Our Next President.

The nomination Of William ID
Taft to be the Republican standard
bearer meets with the most enthusi-
astic endorsement everywhere. He
is: the logical successor Of Koose-
welt, believing as he does in those
great principles Of government which
have made Roosevelt the idol OF the
people.
While Tait's own personality won
for him the nomination, the victory
would probably not have been so
sweeping and decisive had not the
president given hearty endorsement to
it. Both men are OF the same mould,
sturdy for righteousness, honest to
the point Of seli-sacriice, and believ-
ing that the rich man and strong az
gregations Of capital should respect
and fear the law as well as the poor
and lowly.
Taft is probably more generally
liked by Kansas people than is RooSe-
welt and Abilene and Dickinson coun-
ty people who had chance to hear
him speak are deeply impressed byl
his strong and earnest sincerity. He
has an interesting personality Of his
own. While he has always been q
warm supporter Of tho Roosevelt
policies, 1t must be remembered that
he shaped, modified and even insti-
tuted, some Of these very policies for
his chief. Persons familiar with gov
ernmental affairs, say it is well
known fact that Mr.. Taft has not al
ways agreed with the presidents first
impressions; that in consulting with
Mr., Taft, the president has not infre-
quently modified his own views and
sometimes, convinced that he was
wrong, adopted the course that Taft
advised, rather than the one he him
self first considered.
The people can rest assured that
the government will continue to be
in safe hands after March 4th next,
when Mr.. Taft is inaugurated presi-
dent Of the United States.

who Il Paying It?

A copy Of the Chronicle containing
its attack on s. s. Smith is beinl
mailed from Minneapolis, the home Q
Judge Rees, to many individuals ane
papers in the Fifth district. II there
was any doubt as to who was paying
the Chronicle for its traitorous actions
that doubt is now dispelled.
Judge Rees'will discover that the
Chronicle has no standing among the
OF this county and that
all the votes It can make for him will
be at heavy expense.

A COSTLY CANADIAN FIRE
BUSINESS SECTION OF THREE
RIVERS, QUE, BURNED.
Every Building Of Consequence In
Lower Town Destroyed-Loss
over 100000.

Three Rivers, Que, June 2S.-
Famed by high wind fire which
broke out shortly before noon Mon
day in a stable was not checked until
the greater part of the lower town,
containing the business section of the
city, had been consumed Then with
the assistance of the firemen sum
moned by special trains from Mon
treal, Quebec, Sherbrooke and Grand
Mere, 1t was held in check. Almost
every building of any consequence In
that section of the city was destroyed,
including the postofice, the city hall,
every hotel worthy Of the name with
one exception, the fine building Of the
Hochelaga bank and most all Of the
leading stores. Over 300 buildings
were burned. The narrow streets Of
the town and the innammable nature
Of many buildings rendered the task
of the iremen an almost impossible
one. Outside the town is located the
camp Of the Sixth military district and
soon after the fire started 1000 men
were sent to help fight the flames.
The local brigade was entirely inef
fectlEe when 1t came to coping with
q eonhagration and the soldiers rem
dered the best assistance they could.
but their bucket brigade was not equal
to the task. The fact that there was
no efficient command also mitigated
against their eiiotts and 1t was not

Who Are for Stubbs?

Concordia Blade; Judge }. z.
Postlewaite Of Jewell City was Tin
Topeka few days ago and in discuss
ing the political situation said; "The
Stubs following in the sixth district
is made up largely Of those men who
deserted the Republican ranks in the
days Of the Populists. They never
really aligned themselves with the
Republicans again. Now they are
lined up as Republicans behind Mr..
Stubs. The Lawrence man is max
ing the same kind OF speech that Jerry
Simpson, Mrs. Lease and others of
that party made" And what is true
OF the Sixth district is also true Of the
Fifth. In this city the former Popu-
lists are Stubs men; the men who
two years ago fought Hoch for a
second term are Stubs men; the
men who are never satisfied with what
the Republicans do, though profess
ing bership therein, are Stubbs
men. And all the Democrats are for
HIM because they believe II he is
nominated he can be beaten in
November.

ConcordIe Blade; The Abilene
Chronicle has deserted s. s, Smith
and IN its issue Vt yesterday comes al
. champion Of the candidacy Of 3. B.
Rsss for congress, although Il has Ie'
peAtedly endorsed Mr.. Smith and the
platform on which he Is running.
The Chronicles excuse is that 1t does
not believe Smith has chance to win
and that Rees is the really strong
man whom Mr.. Calderhead has TO de-
feat. The real reason is probably
one Of a financial nature and one at
least has right to be suspicious Of a
newspaper that will desert q candi-
date in the midst oil campaign for
no better reasons than those offered
by the Chronicle.
Salina Union: Great surprise was
given to the people Of Abilene and
Dickinson county on the 18th Of this
month by the Abilene Chronicle
transferring its support from Hon. S.
s. Smith to Judge R. R. Rees. The
Chronicle had been supporting Smith
for year past. Its editor had signed
Smiths petition, Hence the people
believe that some crooked work has
been going on or in short, they be-
ieve that the Chronicle has been
bought by Judge Rses or somebody
n the interest OF bis candidacy.
