diture of $3.50, 600. 90 more for running
the same departments, than was re-
quired by the previous administration.
One of the Democratic speakers at
tempted to show that even Sepgwick
County had received the benefits of this
extra million dollars in the way of re-
ceiving money for the construction Of a
state road within the county. The
writer asked the chairman of the Board
Of County Commissioners for the exact
amount of money received for that
purpose and received the information
that the amount was $500 The writer
further asked what amount was re-
ceived from the state for the construc-
ton of the bridge at Julesburg under,
the previous Republican administrator
and received the information that that
amount was $4,000.
1t is not the object of the writer to
answer in any way the statements
made by the Democratic speakers, only
to call the attention of the votsrs to
the fact that it is matter upon which
he can receive and procure first hand
information and that the charge of ex-
travagance that has been made against
the Democratic administration cannot
be swept away by wave of the hand
nor by statements of speakers that can
be refuted by reference to their session
laws.

If the session laws covering the extra
session could be had at this time, then
the figures could be more accurate ard
it would not be necessary to make an
estimate of the cost of the extsa ses-
sion which you will see has been placed
at $50, 10000 by the writer.
The speakers agreed upon one point
ind that was Athat the Democratic Ad.
ministration has appropriated over
81, 600, 10000 more than the previous
Republican administration, but they
disagreed as to what had become of
that 81, ,OOO, 10000. From the figures
quoted it will be seen that about one
fourth million dollars has been account
ed for in the extra cost of the operat-
ing of the various offices of the execu-
tive department and the Legislature.
There are many other departments in
which there could be found the remain
der of the 81, 600, 10000. The figures
given are given only to illustrate that
the voter need not depend upon the
statement of any speaker and if he has
sufficient time and inclination he can.
no doubt, by this process locate the en-
tire 81, ,000, 100000.
The voters as rule over the state,
l believe, are not complaining on ac-
count of improvements made in schools
or upon roads, but it seems that very
small part of the 81 200, 600. 90 has been
applied for that purpose, but most vot-
ers will object seriously to the expen-

Democratic Boss Duplicity
Demonstrated

The statement and denial issued by
Finley Dye is demonstration to the
voters of Sedgwick county of the dou-
BILE methods which have been and are
being used by the Democratic Boss to
try to fool, befuddle and mislead the
voters of this county. 1t should be an
object lesson and furnish sample by
which to measure the Democratic
boss's words which he joyously furnish
es to the public through the columns
of his wife.s newspaper.
cox insisted that he had made a COM
pIete denial that he had any expectat-
ton of being county Attorney. The
Grit. Advocate insisted on calling atten-
ton to the sad deficiencies in his denials
which he claimed were in ''pIain Ian
guage" He even was inclined to be
wrathy about the Grit-Advocate's in
sistence saying that the editor was too
dumb and thick-headed "to understand
plain language" and referred to the
Grit Advocate as falsifier if it made
statements to the contrary.
Mr.. Cox knew that he was trying to
mislead the voters at the time. The
Grit Advocate knew it and the voters
of the county knew it. Mr.. Dye, at
Democratic candidate has demonstrat-
ed it so completely that even he who
runs may see it if he oe not blind.

To THE GRIT-ADvOCATE:
The writer. having attended the Rep
ublican Rally on Monday night and the
Democratic Rally on the following
night, was impressed with the contra
dictory statements made by the
speakers. and with many who We're
present at both meetings the writer has
found that the impression prevails that
it is impossible for the voters to ascer-
tain the true state of affairs when such
contradictory statements are made.
The issue seemed to be principally that
of the question of the relative extra
vagance of the present Democratic ad-
ministration. Both parties at the rally
gave figures to those present which
would prove their point.
Under the state of affairs the writer
feels that it might be of value to the

Samuel HI. Carlson
For Treasurer

For the past two years the watch
dog of Sedgwick county's Treasury has
been samuel H. Carlson and well has
he performed his duties. Never before
were the county finances in better con-
dition. Mr.. Carlson is well fitted for
the Office and if he himself were en-
tirely unknown to the people of this
county, the excellent showing made in
the Treasurer's Office the past two
years would elect him.
However, everybody does know sam
and everybody likes him. He has been
connected with the upbuilding of this
county for many years and is one of
the ''old timers" The people trust
him and will elect him.
