Can a man with good grace ask
a nomination on the Republican
ticket unless he intends to support
the nominee Of that party? No DEM
ocrat owes his support either at
the primaries or at election to any
candidate who announces he will
not support the Democratic nominee
for president. No Socialist owes his
support at the primaries or at the
election to any candidate who an
nounces he will not support the So

a Republican owe his support either
at the primaries or at the election
to any candidate who announces he

nEcEIvING THE VOTERS.

The insurgent candidates for the
Republican nomination for senator
and representative, in addition to
asking a nomination on the ticket
while openly refusing TO support the
party's nominee for president and
proposing to support third party
candidate opposed to the Republican
nominee, are INDUCING in another
peculiar action. Mr.. ANDERSON and
Mr.. Rice are advertising over their
signatures that they have signed
Statement No. l." This means a
statement that II elected they will
support for U. 8. senator the candi-
date who receives the highest vote
in the state, be he Republican. Demo-
crat or Sosialist, regardless OF the
choice of their own district.
Inquiry at the county clerks Of
flee brings the Information that
neither has filed legally any such
statement and neither is under any
obligation whatever in the matter.
We have no quarrel with their not
filing the statement, though State
ment No. is one of the chief arti-
cles Of faith in the insurgent cause
and candidates have been ordered
by the head bosses to sign II. To
do so means to ignore representation
Of your own people and to submit
TO the rule of the bosses at Topeka.
But-having not filed any such
statement is 1t Square deal" poli-
Tics to inform the voters that you
have done SO? Is that a new prin-
,iple of reform? 1t looks very much
ike a smooth political game. Meth

ion for each has been advertising

tice w. A. Johnston and Justice R.
A. Burch have served for many years
on the supreme bench and are re-
corded among the most capable JUS
tees ever in that position. Justice
Johnston is from Ottawa county and
Justice Burch from Saline county:
both are our neighbors and Dickin-
son county owes 1t to them to give
them its support, not only because
of their ability but because they
have been exceedingly kind to this

ers, the late T. e. Dewey and Judge
o. L. Moore, of this county, have
been appointed to that position and
it would be exceedingly ungrateful
for any Republican not to vote for

County Ticket.

The Reflector does not presume
to comment on who shall be nomin-
ated on the county ticket. AZ long
list of good men is before the peo-
pie and with one exception they have
kept out OF the national campaign.
So far as we know all others expect
to support the national Republican
ticket, as any man should do who
asks nomination from the Repub-
leans. We do, however. believe
that Abilene and the county generally
should give support to County Treas
urer Morse for a second term. He
has made an exceedingly good Off
GER. 1t is customary to give a sec
ond term in this office when it is
deserved and no one have ever de-
served 1t more fully than Ernest
Morse. Abilene is also particularly
interested in Arthur Hurd, candi-
date for county attorney. AS mayor
of this city he made one of the best
mayors the city ever had and DEM
onstrated his ability to conduct pub
lie affairs with fidelity and as earn
estly as.though they were a personal
trust. He has legal ability that
is needed in this office and stands
among the best lawyers in central
Kansas. He would make most cap
able and able county attorney and
should be nominated.

THE PRIMARY CANDIDATES.

Many inquiries have come to the
Reflector at the approach of the
Republican primary, concerning the
candidates on the state ticket. We
have been asked to give some idea
as to whom the men are and why
certain candidates should be nomin-
ated. The following outline is a
general summary of the situation.
Presidential Electors.
Eighteen names appear on the Re-
publican ticket for presidential cleo
tors. OF these eight have declared
they will not support the Republic
can nominee for president but ex-
pect II they are nominated and elect
ed to vote for third party candi-
date. This means that the Repub-
Leans owe them no allegiance what
ever as they will not be Republican
electors in any event. Those who
have declared they will support the
Republican ticket and deserve the
support of Republicans are: L. H.
Thompson, W. A. Thompson, ]. e.
Bocock, Chas. H. Browne, John Del
finger, John s. Gilmore, A. @. Mil
Ter, G. w. Miller, Paul Rich, Ben
Baker.
