on the statement that Judge Mar
TIN will clean up" the town. That
was the argument when he was
elected before and because he
failed to keep his promise he was
turned down Bootlegging and
vice of all kinds were notoriously
prevalent. All Improvement of
the city was stopped, street work
suspended, servile homage PAID to
the waterworks company, store
buildings were vacant. street
sprinkling stopped and the illegal
sale of liquor and vice went right
on, That is the kind of a spread
to which the people of Hutchinson
are again invited. The only hope
OF their acceptance is that six wears
may make some folks forget and
that the new people of the city will
not know"
And yet another merry quip
from the same issue of the News.
so far in this campaign there
has been general good feeling.
Nobody has been angry, except
Judge Martin, and he only took
that tack to stir up his faction.
When the Judge called one-half the
men in town "Iiars" and frame
uppers" he was only playing poll
tics. OF course he blundered in
doing so, but the Judge is rather
notorious for his blunders. In all
the Injunction suits and spite suits
he has brought against the city of
Hutchinson he has only made one
suck, the one IN which he was at
torney for the old waterworks com
pany when it was trying to kill off
the new electric light plant and
street railroad by enjoining the
help voted by the city. Some peo-
pie may haYe forgotten this suit.
1t was when the city was in fight
for cheap light and power and
street railway Judge Martin was
attorney for the old company in
AN effort 10 defeat the city and
break down the new company.
EIe won bis suit aTdt he failed to
break the organization of active
and patriotic citizens who we're de-
termined to have cheap light and
electric railway"
All of which merely leads us
back to the original proposition
that the principles of the warning
factions are but skin deep With the
leaders. That they are deeper
with the masses will be shown in
the election OF Geo. Neeley on
Jan. 9th.

A STANDPATTER
Newspaper Files Tell About
Martin

A very interesting feature ol
the present congressional cam
palsn, is the length to which w.
Y. Morgan has gone in the Hutch.
inson News to support Martin,
However, the campaign of the
News is indeed ridiculous when
one compares the present attitude
of that paper toward the republi-
can candidate, with that of 1909.
It also shows that Billy Morgan
doesn't make his campaigns on
principals or men, but merely for
the sake of politics. w. Y. Nor
gan's interest is political and per-
haps personal. After reading an
editorial IN the Hutchinson News,
it is u pretty good antidote to
read one taken from the same pa
per in 1909, when Martin, the
present republican n minee for
congress was running for re-elec-
ton as Mayor of Hutchison.
There are q great many voters
in Hutchinson who we're not here
when Judge Martin was mayor.
They should ask the business men
who were here then. They will
learn that under Judge Martin the
city quit sprinkling the streets and
will hear the story of the parade
of the business men down Main
street with watering cans. When
it rained Main street was deep
with mud and little ponds stood
here and there over which signs
we're posted, No Fishing" They
will learn of the occupation tax"
which Mayor Martin proposed to
put on business. They will learn
from laboring men of the low
wages and insufficient street'force.
The story of the Martin admins
tration is never told by the sup,
porters of the Martin ticket and
the Judge himself is proceeding on
the theory that the statute of linn
itations ought to apply and the
whole thing be forgotten" )"
And here is another which APP
peared in the News on April lst,
1909:
