COUNTY POLITICS
Old Fashioned Republican
Love Feast Tonight.
County Candidates and Friends
at ChiIeS Hall.

The Shawnee county political cam
paign not only has been, but the
| prospects are that it will be, con-
Quoted without the blare of trumpets'
and practically without any pubic
meetings, at least in the interest OF
| the Republican candidates Tonight an
''old fashioned love feast at Chiles
hall, Twelfth and Washington streets,
has been announced and probably VIII
be attended by most of the candidates
But no school house meetings are be-
ing arranged by either of the Repu0-
Iican county committees, and probably
none will be arranged.
Tomorrow and Saturday the candl-
dates will pay visit to the falr a.
Berryton, but there will be no poltl-
a quiet one for the county candidates,
and while the two Republican COM
mittees are working together for the
benefit of the Republican county nom
inees, neither is arranging for meet
ings.
There are several rather peculiar
conditions the voters must meet this
year. AS has always been the case
a voter may vote a straight ticket by
marking his ballot with a cross under
the emblem of his party. After he
does that, however, he may crooss
over and scratch as far as he likes
But in voting in the Independent col
umn, where the Roosevelt electors are
placed, he must vote for each individ-
ual electOr to be counted. If he wants
to vote the straight Republican or
Democratic ticket and also wants to
vote for the Roosevelt electors he
may mark his ballot with a cross at
the head of the ticket, and then cross
over and vote each individual elector
in the independent column. A cross
mark at the head of the independent
column does not vote a straight in
dependent ticket, the independent not
being any political party, but carry
ing the names of all candidates who
appear on the official ballot through
independent nominations.
Aside from the candidates of the
various parties for office, and the
Independent nominations, there is one
question to be voted upon in the way
of a constitutional amendment. The
question is whether or not women will
be granted the right of franchise.
Independent nominations for all Of
fees will appear opposite the names
political parties for the same Offices.
For instance, presidential electoral
candidates head the ticket in every
instance, and the Roosevelt electors
will appear first on the official ballots
in the independent column. Below
that independent candidates for all
offices whose names have been certi-
fed Will be printed in the Independent
column opposite the names OF the Re
publican and Democratic nominees.
Offices for which there are no indie
pendent nominations will be left
blank, merely the title of the office
on the ticket. At the ex-
IRENE right there will also be the
blank column where voters may sig

IN JUSTICE TO MIR. BEACH.
Major Harvey COrrects Humane Off
GERS Story of Cruelty.

A statement printed in the Topeka
State journal of October 16 to the eff
feet that w. r. Beach had been guilty
Of brutality toward his stepda lighter,
Myrtle McDaniels, and indicating that
he had been separated from the child
by order of the court on this account
does Mr.. Beach an injustice. In fact
the charge that was made against him
was carefully investigated by the
county attorney and the probate judge
groundless. and was therefore dismiss
ed. Mr.. Beach has always been kind.
considerate and attentive to this child,
and has provided for her to the very
best that he could with his limited
means. The statement also charges
that he is believed to be responsible
for the death of his wife and younger
child, and this statement is also in
correct, and without foundation as
learned by the county attorney upon
his investigation Mr.. Beach is a poor
man and has a hard struggle providing
for himself and his three little chill
dren and it Is for this reason that the
McDaniels child has been sent to the
orphans home
1 have known Mr.. Beach since he
was a small boy, and 1 am thorough
ly satisfied that the accusations made
against him on account of which this
article was written are false, and L
am advised that Mr.. D. o. Crane. for
whom Mr.. Beach has been employed
for mum Der of years, IS of the same
opinion.
