The Democratic Nominee.


George H. Hodges, of Olathe,
received the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor by an even pro-
pOrtiOnately larger majOity than
WAS given to Governor Stubs in
the Republican primary. And in
the selection of Mr.. Hodges for
their standard bearer the Demo
Gratis have undoubtedly put their
Sir,ngeSt ran in the field .
battle with Mr.. Stubs.
His activities in public life dur
ing the past few years, chiefly
as state senator, have made Mr..
Hodges well anG favOrably known
throughout the entire state. They
have stamped him as a cOurag-
eOus man, whose integrity is of
the unqueStiOned sort. As a leg
islatOr he was always working
and voting for what he deemed to
be for the best interests of the
people of the whole state, and
he was seldom on the wrong side
| Nor did If matter with him Whptl
er the legislation he helped along
was initiated by Democrats or by
Republicans. Anything that was
good for Kansas and KanSanS was
good enough for Hodges.
He did not seek the Democrat
ic nomination for governor. Il
came to him. But he announced
if he got it he would enter on a
vigorous campaign for election
That he will keep his word IL
his respect is not to be doubt
ed. And IN a few weeks, wher
the smoke of the primary has a
least partly cleared away, the
campaign for the gOvernOrShiI
will be on in full blast. Kansas
is, or has been, a normally repub.
lican state by large majority
especially on national issues. But
the Democrats came near t.
electing the late W. A. Harris as
governor, when he ran against
the reelection of Ex-Governor
HOch, and some of them are san.
guine that they will do better il
he coming campaign.

Wheat is good crop this year and brings in more
money than any product in the state of Kansas The
banks of the state cannot compare with the farmer
who raises wheat in profits These profits always
seek investment. The question, is what to do with
the money. To put your money in the bank does
not pay because banks are after the profits and if
they pay you interest for your deposits they cut
down their profits consequently they won't pay you
only very low rate of interest, if any, for your
money. Men all over the country, who have money,
be it much or little will not consider anything for
an investment, except land because it has come to
be the safest place to put money where will surely
come back to you with big profits and even bigger
profits than you make by wheat raising and these
land profits come back to you with all the money you
first put into the land, with certainty.
We have the largest list of lands in central and wes
tern Kansas The lands have to offer from $1,000 to
$500 per acre. depending the Improvements etc. These
lands we have are only 80 miles from the $40 and $50 per
acre land the east of Ford County, which joins Gray
County on the east Do you know Ford County is the ban
ner wheat county of Kansas this year? Well It's and we
have good land to sell 80 miles west and less for So to
$5 per acre. We have sold over quarter of million dol
lars worth of land in the last eight months Write or come

Taft wanted. The effect will be

given study to the act as passed,
TO drain local communities of the
money deposited in postal say
ings banks lad the Democrats
and Insurgents had their way, a
postal bank bill such as was de-

been passed. But through the
influence of the administration,
Aldrich was able to thwart the
will of the people, and to secure
the passage Of a bill which will
give Wall Street the control Of
the peoples money as never be-

Still another feature of the
Taft record is the tariff commits

creates a commission without a
