A Poor Attempt

This fake story about Judge
Martin which is alleged to have
been put out by the Democrats of
Hutchinson reminds us of the clev.
er yarn put out in Topeka about
the time of the state fair, which
said that certain parties we're tell
ing that Topeka had an epidemic
of something or other. The whole
thing amounts to nothing more
nor less than the concoction of a
newspaper which is seeking to
cast a serious reflection on the
Democrats of Hutchinson that
they admit there that Neeley will
carry the progressive vote OF
Hutchinson. The actual vote can
not be determined until after the
election, and until that time, these
stories about the Democrats dis
crediting Martin will be recogniz-
ed by the intelligent people of the
district as mere ,prattle. in the alb
sence of any logical reason why
the district should elect Martin.
There seems not to be a single
one. The whole thing now looks
like NeeIey landslide. However
these petty fabrications printed to
deceive the people and pull the
wool over the eyes of the voters
will avail the old time standpat
Republicans but little. These tao
tics are those employed years ago
when the G. 0. P. machine was
working like a clock, but things
have changed.

A poor workman told his wife
on awakening one morning, a cur
ious dream he had during the
night. He dreamed that he saw
coming toward him in order 4 rats.
The first one was very fat and was
followed by two lean rats, the
rear rat being blind. The man
was greatly perplexed as to what
evil might follow, as it had been
understood that to dream of rats
denoted calamity. He appealed
to his wife concerning this, but
she could not help him. His son,
who heard his father tell the story,
volunteered to be interpreter.
The fat rat" he said, is the
man in X. G. who sells you booze,
the two lean rats are my mother
and me, and the blind rat is your
self. y Marquette Tribune.

Never Happened In Liberal

In the Bucklin Banner the other
day, was printed the following:
The Banner has a good one on
the Light company, Perhaps it
should be kept a secret, but it's
really to good to keep. When the
new switchboard was installed our
motor run backward until the wIr-
ing was changed, However, the
wiring on the meter was left I'M
disturbed. A few days ago it was
noticed that the meter was run
ming backward. Investigation dis
closed the fact that the thing had
unwOund until the light company
owed US $3.50. Electricity is the
cheapest power on earth but under
present conditions in this office
there is absol utely no comparison.
