Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1912-07-05

There seems to be but little doubt
but what George H. Hodges Of Olath
will be. the Democratic nominee for
governor. The only danger is the
overconfidence Of his friends. So
many Democrats are so certain Of
his nomination that they do not
think 1t necessary to make an &C
tive canvass towards securing his
nomination. However, there is some
danger in this feeling as the opposi-
candidates friends are working and
will all be out to the primary. The
Democrats who favor Hodges should
take no chances and get all of his
friends out to vote at the primary.
This prediction that Mr.. Hodges
will be nominated is not mere guess.
It is based upon reports received
from nearly every precinct in fully
so cou1ties in Kansas. These re-
ports come from men who are active
and strongly in favor of having a
we'll known progressive head the tick
ct. The counties agreeing in this re-
port agreed with nearly all Of the
larger counties in the state go.
The Democrats feell that they have
an opportunity to win this fall il
they make no mistake With this OBJ
ject in view they have decided to
nominate candidate who stands
firmly for all Of the progressive is
sues. Any candidate who side steps
the leading issues cannot expect to
win. Hodges platform is strong
and right to the point. When you
read his platform you are convinced
Of the earnestness of the determine
ton that he has Of carrying out the
things advocated in that platform.
No one doubts but what Hodges
means what he says for during his
eight years as a state senator every
vote cast was along the same lines
as is stated in his platform. It is
the duty Of every progressive Demo-
crat in Kansas to get behind Mr..
Hodges. Resubmission means sui.
eide to the party. To stand for law
enforcement means a standing for a

And then into this little world Of
business and pleasure came death

and with Z twisted heart. Riches
mattered little, and the sounding title
Of vice-preIident still less. II was
with distinct shock that he realized
the mother and the father had been
with him so long that he had forgot

hope to soothe the smart, to heal the
wound; and after a time he drifted,
as all shy, intelligent and imaginative

there, and made note, hoping to find
profit BY her knowledge when the per.

so pleasing, SO handsome, SO adroit,
that many a man, older and wiser
than George, found her mesh too
strong for him. Her plan matured,
suddenly and brilliantly, as projects
Of men and women Of her class and
caliber without variation do.
Late one December afternoon Ito

tea-veranda Of the Hotel Semiramis
In Cairo. A book lay idly upon his
knees. 1t was one Of those yarns
In which something was happening
every other minute. As adventures

believed that fate had treated him

How Uncle Sam Works.

been practically suppressed. Hun

have been built. and government en-
changes have been established to sup

to create market for the products or
these people. He has brought peacc

industries. Some Of the Igorrotes and
other tribes weave beautiful mats,
which command ready price in the
market. They also do carving.
