WHAT THEY THINK
OF SENATOR SHOUSE.
From the Lyons News.

rTOIn Tie Lyons NEWS.
Jouett Shouse, candidate for
congress from the Seventh district
on the Democratic ticket, made a
short tour of Rice county yeSter-
day and addressed the voters here
at the opera house last evening.
Even his most outSpoken oppo-
nentS have to admit that. Mr..
Shouse is fair, decent and strictly
matter of fact in his addresses.
He presents the questions of the
day intelligently and in such a
way that even the man who has
read but very little can under
stand them. The point on which
the voters at this election have tol
decide is a simple one: Either
elect a man to congress who will
work together with President Will
son, or will oppose him. As Ell
ther of the three men running
would make a fairly good con-
gresham otherwise, this is the
question. Will he oppose the.
president in the necessary IegisIa-
tiOn and policy which met with
such remarkable success and es-
tablished such a standing for this
country, or will he work in har-
mony with him.
Mr.. Shouse speaks calmly,
cheerfully, like gentlemanquietg
ly conversing with a company OF
ladies and gentleman. Yet his
voice carries far and is perfectly
,, clear, so that every word can be
understood in the farthest end of
the hall, and what he says in that
quiet, straightforward manner Of
his is so interesting that he can
hold closest attention Of everyone.
These things make. the orator,
plus the absolute conviction and
sincerity with which he speaks.
For JOuett ShOuse BELIEVES
these things, and before he gets
FAR he makes others believe them,
too. He makes a splendid inn
preston wherever he goes. Read
ing papers from everywhere ih
this big Seventh district, we have
yet to come across a single one
which openly criticizes him or
takes any issue with his views
even among those whose politics
naturally oppose him. A man who
has the respect of friends and op-
ponents alike is some man.

TWO SURE WINNERS.

Prediction predictions are not
always safe to handle, but we feel
that the circumstances warrant us
in predicting the certain election
of George A. Neeley to the Unit
ed States Senate, and Jouett
ShouSe to Congress from the big
Seventh district.
In the Senatorial race Victor
Murdock and Chas. Curtis are
running neck and neck. Curtis
is stronger in the eastern third of
the state, but Murdock is develop
ing great strength in the western
two-thirds of The STATE. As the
bitter contest between Curtis and
Murdoch progresses the Neeley
stock is rising, and it looks to
those who keep their thumbs on
The political pulse as though moth.
ing on earth would prevent the
big Congressman from moving
up TO the U. S. Senate.
The outlook for Senator
ShOuse's election to Congress is
even better. Down in Reno coun-
ty, at Hutchinson, bets are offer
ed even money that ShouSe will
carry Reno cOunty-the home of
Mr.. SimmonS-and no takers. In
the Socialist centers of the district
those voters, having no candidate
for Congress on their own ticket,
have begun to make investiga-
tons of the candidates on the
Democrat, Republican and Pro-
greSSive tickets. They find that
MIR. Simmons is pretty much tied
up with the corporations and "in-
tereStS", being attorney for the
Santa Fe, a banker, wholesale
merchant, etc. They even COM
ment upon his riding on a free
pass while making his campaign
for congress. In some places this
vote will undoubtedly 60 TO Sem
ator ShouSe, while in Barton
county Mr.. Dawson may get some
OF it. No Democrat has any OBJ
lection 10 or reason for not voting
for Senator ShouSe. and that vote
is reasonably safe for him in this
district; so that, with the opposi-
tion split pretty evenly in Two,
Senator Shouse is reasonably sure
of election.
Anyway, we are going to risk
our reputation as a political pro-
phet by naming George A. NeeIey
as the next United States Senator
and Jouett Shouse the next Con-
gresham from the big seventh
district of Kansas.

Special Correspondence.

Last Tuesday morning would
make feller begin to look up his
old clothes.
R. S. Collins went to Ellinwood
last Sunday TO get some cows that
he bought The day before.
Claude Morris was down from
the Moses ranch last Sunday. Says
he is feeling fine but has been loo
busy 10 shave lately.
Buck Scheufler bought pig
to kill the other day and is terri
bly, disappointed over the deal.
He says ii did not weigh near as
much after il was dressed as il did
before.
We couldn't say for sure
whether this is The truth or Just a
dream. We all know Dave Camp
bell is an awful man to dream.
The other night he dreamed he
was in heaven and could hear the
angels singing and later, on wax
ing up, he felt so dizzy he got up
and still he could hear the sing
ing, and he began TO get scared, so
he called the rest of the family
and then went out doors. The
singing was still louder so Dave
took north through the trees and
across The field to see what was
going on and after going for a
mile or more he made up his mind
it was Archie WeatherS or Fred
Schrepel out in the yard or up in
a tree singing 20, bye baby. This
is a fright for you to keep your
dear daddy up all the night" On
hearing these few words, Dave
made for home and has been there
ever since.

Barton County democrat., 1914-10-30


When all is said and done, this
has been a very decent campaign.
Nobody has got mad and torn his
shirt over something his political
opponent may have said or done.
And why? The answer is very
simple: The people are satisfied
that the affairs of both State and
Nation are in good hands, and are
willing to continue the party in
power until such time as it may
become boSS-ridden and corrupt
as has happened many times
with other political partyS. Then
there would be an uprising.
The ballots for the coming cleo
tiOn are being printed at this Of
flee this week. There will be sam
pie ballots at every polling place
which the voter can see on cleo
ton morning. 1t is not going to be
a hard ballot to vote, and to vote
right. Just mark a cross in the
square after every name which is
followed by the party designation
! DEMOCRAT" and you will be
doing that which will best testify
to the unanimous and practically
universal commendatiOn of the
Woodrow Wilson administration.
Victor Murdock told of the
great rush of Democrats at other
places" who were assuring him
of their support, but we did not
notice any great rush of Great
Bend Democrats to pledge him
their support when he spoke here
the other night. He should have
given some reason why a Demo-
crat should prefer a Progressive
in the Senate one, too, who
attempted to block the reform
measures President Wilson ad-
viSed and insisted upon-to a
Democrat who stood by the Pres
ident at every turn of the road.
Victor was loud in his praise of
the PreSident-he did not dare be
! otherwise and hold any friends
and he evidently hoped the peo-
pie had forgotten his (MurdOck's)
recent course of attempted OBJ
struction and misguided jingoism
in Congress.
