Stubs Loves Laborinq Men

Mr.. Stubs great love for the work.
ing man at this time is suggestive
of anything but genuineness as far
as he is concerned. He has spent
many years of the best portion of
his life In amassing a fortune and
every dollar has been made off of
laboring men. 1t has been his poll
cy as a railroad contractor to get
the largest possible days work for
the least possible pay and to get
the biggest possible pay for the
least possible food which he sold to
the laborers who were employed by
him in his contracting work. His
great love for the laboring man came
to him late in life after he had amaes
ed a fortune from theunderfed an
overworked men who held slips OF
drove teams for him while he was
building railroads. The question nat.
urally arises: Is his protested
for the laboring man the genuine
ticle or is he again attempting t
use the toiling masses to crafty |
political ambition now that he has
all Of this worlds wealth that he
needs.

Botkin's Services.

In 1896 ]. D. .Botkin, Democratic
candidate for governor received the
largest vote and the greatest major
ity for congressman-at-large ever CIV
en- a Kansan in opposition to NOM
inee of the Republican Party. He
rendered conspicuous service to his
state in congress, and although {
one.termer, his voice was heard on
the floor of the house many times in
advocacy of measures demanded By
the people.
AS a member of the Invalids pen
sion committee, Congressman Botkin
attacked the niggardly policy Of
H. Clay Evans on two occasions in
congress and received the plaudits Of
the Civil war veterans of the coun
| try. In spite of Evans policy, Con
gresham Botkin forced through the
pension department over 45O claim
for pensions, original and increase
holding the record as the old sold
iers' friend and defender up to tha'
date.

Bristow's Editoria S.

ooh. that mine enemy would write
book" sighed a forgotten sage.
L. Bristow, Republican candidate fo
the United States senate has not
written book, at least not one
has been generally read but unfor-
tunately for himself he has contr!
uted at intervals to the editorial d.
partment Of the Salina (Kansas)
Journal which he owns.
Now that he is seeking office at
the hands of the voters of Kansas
his editorials written when he was
not candidate for office are bob
bling up before him like bad
dream from which he cannot awaken.
In an editorial published in the Sa-
lima Journal last winter Mr.. Bristow
said, 1--WE had better have China
man developing our wealth than to
have him developing the wealth of
our commercial rivals" Did Mr.. Bris
tow mean that when he wrote it, and
does he mean it now and does
the utterance indicate that he is a
friend Of the laboring masses that he
would now have them believe?
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1908-09-25

]. D. Botkin, democratic candidate
for governor, has been talking and
working for reform in Kansas for
twenty years and more. 1t is only
five or six years since Mr.. Stubs
discovered the rotten spots in the re-
publican party. For years Mr.. Botkir
was working for reform while Mr..
Stubs was working for railway cor.
porations. Mr.. Stubs himself says
that until some six years ago he new
or took sufficient interest In the af-
fairs Of state to even attend a party
caucus. Not until he had amassed a
fortune in the employ Of corpora
tons did he discover that politics
needed reforming. Botkin has mad
study Of the affairs of state all his
life and many years ago he discover
ed the corruption in the dominant
party and raised his voice against
thos eevils which Mr.. Stubs did not
see until some five or six years
ago.-Western Advocate.

The nominees of the Republican
Party have no desire to debate the
questions Of the campaign, much less
with a Democratic nominee. Chair
man Dolley has said that he does
not propose to draw crowds for the
which indicates that he is afraid
Of the arguments which his orators
carry in stock. But referring to
Crowds for the Democratic orators
to talk to-" Mr.. Bryan spoke four
times in Topeka on the 9th day of
last month and at the last meeting
which was held in the auditorium
which seats about 5000; more peo-
pie were turned away than the ca
pacity of the building would accomo-

The Republicans Of Kansas are get
ting considerable alleged satisfac-
ton out Of the fact that Vermont
recently elected a Republican gov
ernor. This may be source of some
satisfaction to those who are not
familiar with the fact that Vermont
Is as soldly Republican and always
has been as Texas has been Demo
cratic, the Republicans carried the
election this fan 1t Is true. but BY
the smallest majority In sixteen year
u the vote Of Vermont Is to be tax
ea as an Indication Of the political
conditions Of the country It would
seem taht the Democrats are the
onep who should get the satisfac-
zion from the result

Republicans and Money.

Golfers Weekly had significant
editorial recently entitled, "The Re-
pubncans and Money" 1t is given
herewith:
"The election and subsequent death
of Mr.. Taft would mean the occu.
pancy of the White House by an Of
ficial fatfryer who has during sey-
eral years past approached, with de-
erential hat in hand, the president or
treasurer Of most of the large cor
porations in the country. 1t was in
the course of this official function
that Sherman was profanely turned
down by Mr.. Hartman, with bitter
denunciation of the Republican par
ty and reeking messages for the
head of that party, that the party
and the head Of it had not been
grateful for the $25O,OOO which Mr..
Hartman collected and gave in 1904.
Penrose, as one Of the executive CON-
mittee Of nine which is to do the
actual work Of the Republican cam
paign, is in error of taste and judg-
ment but not a great deal worse.
With T. Coleman Dupont of Delaware
however, the case differs. Among
the combinations now being prosecu-
ted by the fdeeral government is
that aggregation Of companies known
as the Powder Trust. Mr.. DuPor
is president of the fifty-million dol.
lar DUPONT Powder Company, presi-
dent Of the ten million-do,lar Inter-
national Powder Company, director Of
the International Smokeless Powder
Company and vice-president of the
holding company the Delaware Sc
curities Company, which owns a ma.
jority Of the stock of the Laflin &
Rand Powder Company. Suppose that
Mr.. Taft, being successful, should
be approached by Mr.. Dupont thus:
I am one Of the men, including
Chairman Hitchcock, who have put
you over the plate. I don't want
to be reminding you continually Of
the obligation; there is one small
piece Of patronage I should like, and
| shan't speak to you about patro-
mage again during your administra.
ton. There is q deserving young
friend Of mine whom should like
to have appointed to the position late
ly held by Mr.. Purdy, in charge Of
that bureau Of the Department of
Justice which is seeking to break
up my company, deprive me Of some
Of my property, and declare me a vi.
olator of the law. Something analo-
gous would have been the presence
Of Harry Thaw two years ago on a
committee Of ten to collect funds
and promote the election of Jerome
as district attorney. A minority
plank, calling for a statute provid-
Ing for publicity Of campaign expend-
ltures, was thrown out Of the COM
mittee on resolutions by vote of
81 to /, and was rejected on the
floor Of the convention by a vote Of
$50 to s4-Nebraska and Idaho, and
parts Of Wisconsin and Indiana fay-
oring It. The amount Of Bourbonism
still left in the Republican party is
Tar too large" -Salina Union.

At q meeting Of citizens held at
the commercial club rooms 1t was al
nounced that Great Bend had ditch.

ed on the roads about the city. An
experiment Is now being made in oil

II Has Served its Time.

The old carpet that is threadbare
and patched has served its time.
OF course you could wait another

The fact that there has not been
poorly attended Democratic NEE;
ing held in the state since the cam
paign opened nearly two weeks ago
indicate that there is a desire c
the part Of the voters to hear the

These meetings have been largely
tended by the young voters who will
cast their first vote this fall and
who by their presence have indicat-
ed a desire for information.
