Now that the party council has met
and adopted the platform for demo-
cratic success 1t is time that we as
members of the party begin 10 lay
our plans for the coming campaign
The list of the central committee was
nublished last week and every MEN,

toward the success of the party AS
the republican party is hopelessly d.
yided 1t behooves us to avoid any
eruption in the ranks. Those VINO
fought so valiantly for the nomlna-'
ton of Clark are now ready to don
the Wilson parephernalia, and the
Sneaker. himself, has already started
on a tour of speech making FOR the
nominee. There are no opposing rae
lions of the democratic party now IN
Kansas. The friendly bouts for the
nominations in the primaries nave
all been settled, and the party as q
whole is ready to clasp hands and
work together. We have only one
enemy and that Is the opposing forces
OF the republican contingent, styled
at present. Bull Moosers" and VINO
are making strenuous efforts to name
and elect Roosevelt. Whether or not
any democrat in this county is fav-
orable to his election he should pan

have In Woodrow Wilson man that
meets every requirement as to pro-
Rressiye measurements and people

their Endorsement. Just at present
Roosevelt Is under ban OF having re-
ceiyed big donations from corpora
lions for campaign work during the
time he was making speeches against
such interests, and now that congress
has adjourned Is anxious to answer
these charges, but plenty OF time mad
elapsed for him to answer them De-
fore, had he been so inclined, put
II only appeals to the voters that ne
has been mixed up to considerable
extent. We admit that Wilson Is not
making the sensational campaign the
African hunter did, but do the people
want IL? Hasn't that kind OF poll
tics prevailed in Kansas long enough?
The farmers taxes have been raised
over so per cent. since accepting
such policies and isn't 1t about time
to call halt, and elect more con-
serVative candidates-men that will
give their time and attention to the
affairs OF the state. Think 1t over
and don't think that there Is going to
be any redemption through the new
party until you learn of the real facts
and what Is offered you in the demo-
cratic ranks and we are sure that
your verdict in November will be
right. function City Sentinel.

passage in that section. Section crews
were soon busy at the place and it was
several hours before the track was re-

the Black Hills country was primarily
to bring his mother back to Wisconsin.
He reports Bert and Paul Ellis, Paul

as doing well. The best news brought

At Friendship village the question
arose whether or not 10 have a school
established near the Chicago & North
western station where many employees
of the company reside. The villagers of
the days before the railroad were op-
posed to organizing new school and
believed that the children could pillow
through the snow for mile or more
to the building in the north end of the
town, the village now being about a
mile long. 1t was decided to submit
the question to vote of the people
in true American style and at once
the two factions lined up against each
other. The vote was taken last Satur-
day evening and for day or so before,
the population of Friendship grew by
leaps and bounds. Enginemen, con-
ductors, firemen, brakemeu and others
interested in the school made it con-
venient to be In the village on Satur-
day and when the vote was taken
there were over 100 in favor of school
in South Friendship. There is moth
ing like resorting to vote of the peo-
pie when it comes to deciding i'm
portant questions.
