NON PARTISAN PLATFORM.
Declaration of Principles of the Non Partisan Ticket, Municipal Eiee-
 tion May a, IoIo.

The Non-Partisan Ticket submitted for their consideration and suffrages to the Citizens and Taxpayers of the Town of Nogales, Santa Cruz County, Arizona Territory, at the Municipal Election called by law to be held Monday, May 23d, 1910, respectfully submit the following declaration of principles, bv the pledges in which We will be gov erned when elected 10 conduct the municipal business of the Town of Nogales.
 We deprecate the attempt of our op- ponents to draw party lines in munich pal affairs. From it's very beginning the Town of Nogales has cen conducted upon non-partisan basis, anl every municipal government heretofore has been selected without regard to political issues.
 The measure of an office seekers availability or capacity for participation in the government of municipality is not his opinion and belief in national or territorial politics but the true measure of such availability and capacity is his interest in the town and the permanence of residence therein. By that measure the Non-P Partisan Ticket challenges con- trast and comparison. Every candidate is permanent resident of the Town, has been one long period of time, and | is taxpayer.
 We pledge our administration of the affairs of the municipality to progress siveness, economy and business princi- ples.
 We pledge continuance of town i'm. provements in accordance with the needs and growth of the Town ] We pledge close collection of taxes and licenses and a careful and economi- cal expenditure of municipal money. We pledge advancement of the well fare of the Town of Nogales in every l legitimate way possible.
 With these declarations we submit our ticket to the consideration and sui frages of the electors of the Town of Nogales.

A Possible Rolter.

Republican ticket next fall if tn,
platform is not up to the stand
ard he has set in his mind. Mr.
Miller has been sent to Washing.
ton by the Republican vote of his
district for twelve years. He
stood pat to the end of the chap.
ter and was left out of the new
edition. Here is what he says in
an interview given in Kansas
City
"It all depends on the kind of
platform that is adopted, whether
or not the standpatters support
the inSurgent Republican nOmi-
nees. The only consideration un-
der which l could support the
ticket would be the adopting Of
a Republican platform. If a pop
uliSt platform is adopted, 1 do
not think Republicans can sup
port it, and l do not think Kan
saS Will-unleSS Kansas is POpu-
listic.
"The initiative and referendum
the recall-if those things are in
it-why, there would be trouble
all the time. Whenever the peO-
pie were dissatisfied with some
public official they would 60 to
work and get out a petition for
his recall"
And the representative indicat-
ed his disapprOvai OF such an abb
surd proceeding with a deprecia-
tory wave of one hand.
Representative Miller has been
at Excelsior Springs since his de-
feat for denomination. He has
been i'll, but says he is now much
improved.
Il was not surprised at my
defeat" " Mr.. Miller said. "If we
had had a couple of months to ge-
to the people with the facts it
might have been different"

Barton Countyites In Oklahoma,

Through Bert Winterburg we
learn that former Barton county
citizens in Oklahoma are strictly
i'll the push in every way, includ-
ing politics. Ed Winterburg is
the Democratic nominee for state
senator in the county comprising
Alfalfa and Majors counties. The
district is slightly Republican,
but that does not interfere with
an ambitious hustler like Ed and
he expects to be elected. Dick
MOsely, brother of Mrs. Ed Tyler
and Mrs. TheO. Griffith, is the
Democratic candidate for county
commissioner in one of the dis
tricts in Alfalfa county. His Op-
pOnent is Seward Mutersbaugh a
former resident of EllinwOOd.
In the past other Barton cOun-
ty folks have had preferment. H.
SturgiS has been county attorney
of Garfield county. Alex McTag-
CART represented his county in the
territorial Legislature one session.
W. D. Wilkinson twice went down
to defeat as the Democratic nOmi-
nee for senator in a strong Repub
lican district. Jim Kershaw was
sheriff of Garfield county; Ed.
Brazelle was in the state senate
the last session from his district;
George Klein has been county
treasurer of Oklahoma county, in
which is located Oklahoma City.
There are Others that we do MT
call to mind just now, but in poll
ties, as well as in other lines, for
mer Barton county people in the
new state have been cOmers. Let
them continue to come. We are
for them every time.

State Committee Meeting.

The Democratic state central
committee was called together in
Topeka on Tuesday of this week.
Fred Zutavern, chairman of the
county committee, represented
Barton county. The committee
organized by electing Hon. Hen
dersOn Martin, of Marion, as the
chairman, and W. H. L. Pepperell
Of Cloud as secretary. Many mat
terS for the good of the party
were discussed and from all sec
tons of the state came reports
Of good news for the Democrats.
1t looks as though this would be
a Democratic year in Kansas.
The Democrats have the OppOr-
tunity of a lifetime. They have
the candidate, they have the plat
form, and they have the excel
lent record of the Democratic men
bers of the legislature for the pasl
ten years on all reform legiSla-
tiOn. This is the year for the
Democrats to stick to their tick
Ell, there is no reason for their
doing otherwise, and if they do
stick, success will be theirs in
November.
The congressional committee
for the seventh district was also
called to meet in Topeka on the
same date with the state commit
tee. They organized by electing
S S. Graybill, of Reno, chairman,
and W. E. Stoke, of Barton, see
retary and treasurer. Plans are
under way for an aggressive cam
paign.

A Bad Accident.

A serious accident happened to
George 0rbisOn the fOurteen-year
old grandson of Frank Millard,
of this city. George was visiting
his uncle, Ben Meyers, who lives
On the Millard farm in the north
part Of the county, and on Mon
day evening in company with his
aunt, Flora Meyers, started for
the pasture to get the cows. He
took his gun with him, and in
some way it was discharged and
the shot entering his foot nearly
took it off. His aunt carried him
until they were near enough home
to attract attention, when help
came and he was taken to the
hospital at HOlsington for treat
ment. The doctors hope to save
most of the fOOt, and his many
friends hope that he may soon re-
cover.

Helen Dresser Schmidt.


1t is sad for us to relate the
demise of one of EllinwOOd s most
lOveable young girls, Mrs. Helen
Dresser Schmidt. Mrs. Schmidt
suffered for the last few weeks
with the dreaded disease, typhoid
fever, and on Saturday her moth
er received a telegram that she
was dangerously i'll. She started
at once whit her youngest daugh-
ter and son, Leo, for Cunningham
Upon their arrival they found her
so much improved that Leo re-
turned home Monday evening
but on Tuesday she suffered
q relapse, and succumbed to the
dreaded disease at 4:30 p. m.
The funeral services were held
this morning from St. Joseph s
Catholic church. where her many
friends gathered to hear Father
Davern, of Chase, conduct the last
services rendered her.
Helen Dresser was born in El-
linwOOd, Kansas, on the 18th day
of August, 1886. She was educat'
ed in the schools of EllinwOOd,
and spent most of her life here.
She was married to Mr.. Tony
Schmidt. of Cunningham, on the
18th day Of October, 1909. Died
at her hgme near Cunningham on
the 23rd of August, 1910.
Mrs. Schmidt was a girl who
was beloved by all who knew
her, always of a cheerful dispOsi-
tiOn, never thinking i'll thoughts
of any one. She was known to
be one of the prettieSt and best
natured girls in EllinwOOd, and
when the sad news Of her death
was received here it grieved the
entire community, and there is
not a home in this city that is not
deeply touched, and mourning
with her husband, mother, sisters
and brothers. Besides her huS-
band she leaves her mother, two
brothers and thee sisters to
mourn her great loss, and the
hearts of the people of EllnwOOd
60 out to them in their hour of
sorrow.
The flowers and grass will fade
and die on her last resting place,
but never her dear memory from
the hearts Of the people of Ellin-
wood. May the Great Ruler who
watches over the universe, and
who directs all our ways and
lives, hal the broken hearts that
are caused by this death.-Ellin-
wood Leader.

Wreck In Santa Fe Yards.

A bad wreck occurred in the
Santa Fe yards at this place Mon
day morning about $50 when an
extra coming in from the west
cOlllded with the switch engine
as they were coming out of the
round house. The engineer and
firemen on the switch engine saw
the danger in time to jump, but
Engineer Cross and Fireman Lock
on the extra, were still at their
post when the engines struck.
Fortunately no one was hurt,
but the engines were both pretty

c. A. DOOling, of HOisington,
Kansas, belongs out in the great
wheat belt of that state. Going
there in the early days Mr.. DOo-'
ling had an opportunity to get
lands at a very low price and he
took advantage of this aud pur. &
chased several farms. "But very
few men are smart enough to see
far into the future, and we were
the same way" said Mr.. DOOling.
Il had come into possession of Sc
eral farms, and had a chance to
sell off several quarter section
farms at what | considered a high
price. | let some of them 90 at
about $500 a quarter, which at
that time looked mighty good to
a starved out Kansas. | shall nev-
er forget one particular sale wher,
] sold out and got a cash pay.
ment at about $6 an acre. After
the man bought it he tried hard
to back out, but | held him to
it, although he offered me a lit
tie cash if | would take it back.
In making those sales along at
that time, which was at the time
when the land business was gone
to pieces, | thought | was rob-
ting some one. Now. the real
joke was on me, as 1 was the fel.
low who was robbed. | could have
sold the very same lands in less
than two years afterwards for
more than twice what received
for them, and they have been ad-.
vancing in price ever since. Part
Ct these farms are now valued at
500 per acre. In the early days
Barton county was considered Of
no account for farming purposes.
For several years it has been the.
banner wheat county in Kansas.
1t was the first settlers; and'a
good many of the second lot of
settlers, that went out there who
failed and left the country in dis
gust. But the fellows who came
along later and bought the lands
at a low price about the time l
sold off number of farms are
in it today. Farmers have been
making money fast in recent
years, and are in fine shape -
