WHY HODGES SHOULD BE NoMl.
MATED.

Some weeks ago We published the
platform on which Senator Hodges is
making his race for the Democratic
nomination for Governor. Later we
published the platform Of Mr.. Billiard,
and in next issue we present the plat.
form Of Mr.. Jackson, the third candi-
date. Our readers can, therefore,
judge for themselves which Of the
candidates they wish to support. AS
for ourselves, we believe the fair
and honorable thing to do is for Kan
sas Democrats to nominate George
Hodges. Here are our reasons:
The handspring of the Billiard can
didacy Is his stand in favor Of resub-
mission. This is, no doubt, a popu-
lar stand with many Of our readers
and Barton county friends, but is
nothing new. Although not explicit
ly providing for resubmission in our
platforms in the past six years, we
have provided for the initiative and
referendum, and that is the only way
resubmission Of the prohibitory
amendment can be obtained. The
election Of Mayor Billiard will not
give It to US unless the legislature
votes that way. II we elect q legis-
allure that Is pledged to the inita-
tive and referendum, we can secure
the same result sought in the Billiard
candidacy, as Il he was elected.
Again, we call your attention to the
growth Of the Democratic party
since we eliminated this question,
which is not a political one, and
which should be eliminated from the
campaign. This is not the time nor
the campaign In which to entangle
the Democrats Of Kansas in that Is
sue. We make the point that with
that issue as one Of our paramount IS
sues, we are a defeated set Look
at the history Of the last six years.
As temporary chairman Of the con-
vention in 1906, we nominated Sena-

The Kid Parker referred to above
is a son of Frank Parker, an early
day resident of ElinwOod. Frank
Parker, although residing at the time
in Elliwood, was, in the spring Of
1885, operating a pool room in this
city, in the old building standing on
the corner where the Wagaman store
is now, in the Mcbride building. A
friendless eolored man, whom he
had taken in, murdered him with an
ak one Saturday night, the deed be
ing discovered the next morning
when his son, Frank, JrA came up
from Ellinwood to pay him a visit.
He could not find his father, but in
company with the late James Savage,
entered the building, the father hav-
ing a bed room in the rear, and dis
covered the murder. Suspicion at
once fastened itself on the colored
man, who was apprehended that even
ing as he was stepping from the
train in Kansas City, boldly carry
ling Parker's watch and jewelry. He
was brought back by Sheriff Ds,ziel
Iwho took him from the. evening train
east Of town, thinking he would es-
cape a mob that had been formed
but the latter we're not to be outwit
ted and they at once went down east
and got the man. With rope arount
his neck, the other end around {
saddle horn, they started for town

member it, later pulling what wa:

They have given him some boxing
