REPUBLICAN VOTES FOR WILSON


Chicago. Between 100000 and
100000 Republicans will vote for
Governor Woodrow Wilson for Presi-
dent Of the United States. We have
the names Of 500, 900 of these. Wilson
will carry Illinois and California,
states that have been claimed for
Roosevelt"
Rudolph Spreckles of San Francis
co, who was responsible for the clean
Ing up of politics in his native city
and state, made this statement here
at the opening of Western headquar-
ters in the Mccormick Building for
the Wilson National Progressive Re-
publican League Of which he was the
originator and is the president.
The league is for the organization
Of Republicans who do not wish to
vote for Taft because Of his alliance
with Republican bosses and who will
not aid Roosevelt's attempt to de-
stroy the Republican party. These
men will vote for Governor Wilson
because he is a Progressive and be-
cause OF their belief in his Trust pol
Icy of regulated competition rather
than Roosevelt's trust policy of reg
ulating monopoly.
Senator John ]. Blaine of WiScOn-
sin is vice-president of the organiza-
tion In. charge of the work in. the
west. DR.. Harvey w.. Wiley, former
chief chemist Of the Department of
Agriculture, is vice president in
charge Of the work in the east. The
Chicago headquarters are under the
management Of Robert NJ. Buck, who
who was one of the western manager
Of the LaFolDette campaign.
Continuing, Mr.. Spreckles said:
1--WE know that Geo. W. Perkins
secured most Of his fortune by pro
noting the organization of many of
cur most oppressive trusts Including
the harvester trust, and yet he and.
his friends are the main contributors
to the Third Term Party Campaign
Fund.
Under these conditions it is as
sumed that the trust plank of the
Third Nfm Party was the considea-
ton that Perkins and his friends re-
ceived in exchange for their financial
support.
AS to the situation in California,
Governor Johnson, who has accom-
.Plished much good in that state has,
nevertheless, misjudged its citizens
if he thinks that they will sustain
him in his present indefensible atti.
tude Of using the Republican party
machinery of the state for the pur-
pose of building up a new party af-
ter the Third Term Party originators
deliberately stole the Republican or
ganization."

e.: With the close of the second vot.

'SAe contestants who are not making

only themselves to blame if at the
close of the contest their names do
not appear with the other winners OF
the magnificent prizes that will be
distributed to those standing the high
est in the contest in their respec.
Ove districts.
e. The contestants. living in the city
OF Great Bend have been a little slow
IN getting the real start that they
should secure, and where it. all de.
pendS upon the amount of work they
put forth when the real start is made
1t is "a good idea to be in the run
ning with the others so as to get the
scattered vote that is coming in all
the time. As We have stated before,
people are coming to the office every
Oay. to. pay their subscriptions and
Sou would be surprised to see how
anany' of these people who have not
been approached at all in regard to
The contest.
When such prizes are hung up as
. iS'the case in this contest, you shoul
not lose any time in getting in and
80 a few weeks secure your share of
them. Many people go a life time
without having an automobile such
as they can get by a few weeks of
Pleasant work among their friends
aud acquaintance. The Democrat
has opened the way for fourteen
ladies or gentlemen to be the proud
possessor of prizes valued at hun
dTeds Of dollars, and you should not
. let this opportunity pass you.
AS the last SPECIAL ballot was
started early for many in the race
and seemed a little hard, we have de,
ctded to make another offer of votes
q which will help the workers secure a
Dig batch Of votes if they will take
advantage Of it. The offer is this.
To any contestant in the contest who
sends to this department $1,000 in
subscriptions either old or new, it
makes no difference, there will be
given a special ballot of 10000 votes

day, October 81, if you live. in the
city, and the country contestants may
have the. same time to secure their
clubs; we will count all subscriptions
where the letter is post marked prior
to s p. m., of that date.
New names are coming in each
week, and many are being dropped
from the list Some of those whose
names have appeared for the past
week, whose friends nominated them
under the impression that they, the
nominees, were of the calibre that
spells success. had better get a
move on" while the SPECIAL offer
is in effect or they will find them
selves in the "also ran" class on the
closing night.
COMPETITION EASY.
The competition for the prizes in
this contest is astonishingly easy,
and one would be- surprised if they
only knew what little effort It would
take to secure one of these valuable
prizes The people are here, the pa.
per is~tifg Dsst county psDer, tAe
prizes are for someone, but hustle
and clergy on the part of several in
the contest is lacking to- such an ex-.
tent that even now one can enter
the list and come under the wire a
winner with but very little exertion.
1t is foregone conclusion that un-
less several in the list puts a little
more steam Dehlnd their efforts, they
will stand on the corner and see the
winner of the Flanders 900" go fly
ing by. and incidentally get a whiff
of the gasoline from the handsome
machine that might have been their
own just as we'll as not.
NOW Is THE TINE.
Once again let us impress upon
those in the contest to make every
moment of the remaining days of
this week show rseults. The votes

OLD RUSSIAN PRovERB.
Born Of One Of the Most Tragic Epi.
sodss In Muscovito History.

Born Of One Of the Most Tragic Epi.
sodss In Museovits History.
The Russian peasant has n saying
which Invariably puzzles the foreigner.
"Too polite and die like BekOvitch."
The proverb refers 10 one OF the most
tragic epiSudts in AIuS'ovite history.
In the early spring OF I'LL Prince
Bekovitch Cheraski led an armed ex'
Dedition consisting OF l.NW infantry
and 1900 cavalry INTO the then almost
unknown interior Ut south central
Asia.
His ostensiblp object was TO open up
commercial, relations with the khans Of
Khiva and Rokhara. MS real one to
see If It were In,SsibIe to invade India
from the north.
The prince. with whom were many
officers of the imperial bodyguard. n
brilliant company. marched his men
across the arid sieppes with difficulty
and on Aug. IL halted some eighty
miles from the city OF Khiva.
The Khivans. ignoring his profes.
sions of friendship. attacked In force.
but were easily defeated BY the better
armed and better disciplined soldiers
Of the car.
Their khan thereupon res0rted to
diplomacy. He visited the Russian
camp in state. explained that the at
tack delivered By mis- people was all
q mistake and invited Prime Reko-
Witch and his principal officers to visit
his capital as bis guests.
Two days later. at n grand entertain
ment, the khan toasted his friends the
Russians" and vowed eternal friend
ship. He also took the opportunity Of
requesting Prince Bekovitcb. to divide
his army into small detachments for
entertainment In the surrounding vii.
lagos. regretting the inability of bis
capital to entertain 40 many guests.
The Russian comma nder politely
agreed to the politely preferred request,
the Russian force was broken up. and
the khan laughed sardonically.
His turn had come. Early next day
be killed Rekovitch and forwarded bis
head as n gift to the khan of Bokhara.
Then he annfhilated the Russian army.
