The esteemed Salina Journal
is certainly jumping around, for
four years ago it sang praises of
Senator Hodges and told what a
fine fellow he was. 1t told one
time when they had a reception
for Senator Quincy, that Quincy
in a speech had told how fair a
fighter Senator Hodges was, and
that although Democrat he
could always be counted upon to
vote for the peoples interests.
Now the same Salina Journal Say'
Hodges is a reactiOnary. When
did he change? VIII the Jour
nal please tell what law he voted
for that shows he has changed
his viewsY Will the Journal al
so tell where in any of Hodges
speeches he has promised favOrs
to the cOrpOrationsY Will the
Journal be fair enough to state
just one fact that would give any
ingling that Hodges has changed

honest with yourselves, give the
facts, give both sides, and allow

NOW DO YOU KNOW

That the U. S. government
takes no chances when it deposits
IFS money in a bank. 1t makes
the bank secure the money from
loss. So does the state of Kan
sas make all the banks secure
the money they deposit in them.
So does the county make banks
secure county money. They do
not take into consideration the
capi'al of a bank, its surplus, or
liabilities of its officers or direc-
tors. They say you are no bet
ter than anybody else-if you
want any of our deposits in your
bank, secure us against loss.
This is what you want, and
this is why the Citizens National
Bank pays out hundreds of dol
lars every year to secure your
money deposited with them for
safe keeping. We know you APP
preciate it by the way you are
doing business with us.
We pay interest on time depos.
its, and these time deposits are
also insured against loss.

The Star and Hodges.


The Kansas City Star is calm
ly advising the Democrats of Kan
SaS to desert Hodges and the
Democratic ticket and to vote for
Stubs. They seem to want
the Democrats to give up the
principles they have been fight
ing for for twenty years, and 90
over to a party that has only put
them in a platform becauSes they
had to, and have no idea of carry
ing them out. The Star is trying
to break up the Democrat party.
Why should Kansas Democrats
back the Star, for what has the
Star ever done 20. Kansas Dem
ocrats except try and defeat them
they have done this in every
campaign but one, and that was
when Harris ran for governor
then they supported him, but
since that time they have never
failed to fight the party. This
being true, what reason can they
give for asking the Democrats to
support themi Are the Democrats
of Kansas foolish enough to be
led off by a paper that has Away
been abusing themY The Star
supported Taft as against Bryan
and when he failed to give W. R.
Nelson an appointment as embas-
SadOr the Star at once began to
abuse Taft. Hodges has a splen-
did record and is worthy of the
support Of every Democrat, what
can the Democrats ever expect to
gain if they throw down the very
men that try to pull the party out
of the hole, and when they do ask
for your votes, vote against them.
No, the Star has another guess
coming; they feel that Stubs is
going to be defeated and they
are making their last desperate
stand. The Star has lost the fav-
or of the Regular Republicans an(
is now on the right path to lose
the Democrats. Where does the
Star expect to get its support
They are trying to break up the
Democrat party, so that the Star,
Roosevelt and Stubs can keep OF
in their high-handed management
of affairs. Let no good Demo.
crat be deceived, Hodges and the
Democrat ticket is worthy of al
your support; and above all, the
Democrats are going to support
lit.

When the people OF the Ith lis

Madison, they d.h 81 Oil 4 plat

and vote for a revision of the tar

of their wishes and interests, you
voted for the Payne-Aldrich tar
if bill with all of its jobs In
favor of the rich and against the
consumer. Why did You do this,
Mr.. MadisOnY Was it because
you loved Aldrich and Cannon so
much more than you loved the
people of your own district, or
was it because you loved the rich
corporations who will reap the
rich reward of the jobs contain
ed in the tariff bill more than
you love the people of your con-
greSiOnal district; or was it be-
cause you loved party regularity
more than you loved the interests
of your constituents
When you voted for this job
tariff bill, Mr.. Madison. you vOt-
ed for a schedule to admit raw
silks free, and only placed a duty
of SO per c9at on the manufactu:
ed article, while at the same tine
the bill placed a duty of 135 per
cent on wooden or wOrSted cloths
Was it because silk was used by
the greater number of your con-
Stituents and woolens and worst
eds only by a few that you vOt,
ed for the bill, Mr.. Madison?
Then, again, why did you vote
to tax champagne from "a to &c
per cent and wearing apparel al
from so to 80 per cent? Was il
to encourage your constituents il
prohibition Kansas to dring cham
payne and to discourage then
from wearing wooden clothes thai
you east your vote that wayY

your poor or rich constituent?
There must be a reason 70.

The Republicans claim that
the Democrats ought to desert
Hodges. WhyY Has not Hodges
always been loyal to the cause Of
the common people? Has not his
record been one that anyone
could be proud of, and has he
not been praised by thousands OF
Republicans. If the Democrats
DESERT Hodges what use is there
for a Democrat to try and fight
for cir interests? What is there
as 4 reward for any Democrat?
If he does the proper thing, and
then have his own party desert
him for doing what is right. No,
it is hardly likely that they will,
and the Democrats and thousands
Of independent Republicans will
and should rally to his support.

to the show business.
Last year we tried the County
Fair and made quite a success out Of
It, clearing about $500. But that

for the school, since the excitement
