Hon. Caster

Hon. H. o. Caster addressed
the voters of Meade at the opera
house last Friday afternoon.
While the audience was not a
large one, what was lacking in
mum Der was made up by the quail
ity of his lieteners. Mr.. Casters s
whole being is afame with that
true Democratic spirit which all
good Democrats admire. His
address was confined entirely
to what had been accomplished
by the Democratic party. We
have heard nothing but favorable
comment upon his talk.

it? But that isn't the worst Of it,
The business OF the Fiscal Ag-
ency increases each year. For
1915 ard 1916 these fees will
amount 10 at least $4,000. If
Earl Akers is reelected on No
vember 5, and continues to pock-
ct these fees, your problem in
addition will be something like
this: Two years salary, 81, 200
plus $1,000 fees, makes $l9, 200,
which will be worse still. You
must not forget that Mr.. Akers
has already stated that he means
to take these Fiscal Agency fees.
Now, p. r. Laughlin, the Dem
ocratic candidate, if elected will
turn these fees into the State
Treasury. His signed state.
ment reads: IF l am elected
State Treasurer, ] shall draw nc
money from the public treasury
except that appropriated by the
Legislature to pay my salary
So there you have it-Akers two
years for $4,000 or-Laugblin
two years for 81, 200. 1t isn't a
matter of politics, its a matter
of saving of $1,000 to the state
OF Kansas, matter of law, and
above all else, it's a matter oil
RIGHT. It's for the voters OF
Kansas to decide. May they
decide the matter right when
they cast their ballot on Novem
ber third.

P. E. Laughlin, whose picture
appears above, is the Democratic
candidate for State Treasurer.
Mr.. Laughlin is at present AS
sistant Bank Com missioner and
in which capacity he has served
for the past two years. This
two years coupled with his
twelve years experience as a
Kansas banker have established
for him a record for honesty and
integrity.
The thing for which we de-
sire to recommend him to the
voters of Meade county, is the
position he has taken against
"fee-grabbing." At the present
time we have as State Treasurer
Earl Akers. The salary fixed
for this Office is $4,000 per year.
The law provides that, "Ail fees
shall be turned into the State
treasury When the Fiscal
Agency was transferred to the
State Treasurer's Office, it was
assumed by the Legislature that
the same law would apply to the
Fiscal Agency Fees. Our Rep
ublican Treasurer, Earl AKers,
pdiscovered loop hole" through
which he could pocket these fees
which, at the end OF his present
term will have amounted to at
least $4,000. Two years salary,
So, 200 plus $4,000 fees makes
$l5,200. Rather expensive isn't

The Allen Case

The preliminary examination
in the Allen case was set for
October 9th. On the afternoon
of the Sth r. w. Griggs and F.
M. Davis, representing the de-
fendant, called County Attorney
Sullivan to Judge Day IS Office and
application made for continuance
Mr.. Sullivan refused to counte-
nance any "star cham ber" pro-
ceedings, and informed counsel
for the defense that no motions
or other proceedings would be
heard until the time regularly
fixed by the Court. When Court
convened Friday afternoon the
application for continuance was
renewed. Mr.. Sullivan thereup-
on dismissed the case which was
based on the verdict of the Cor
oner's jury, for the reason that
this verdict charged homicide,
which is bailable offense, and
filed new complaint, sworn to
by himself, which. charged mur-
der in the first degree. Upon
this charge the preliminary was
set for Monday, October 10Th, at
l o'clock P. NJ, and the defend
ant ordered committed to Jail
with bail.
We are informed that relatives
of the deceased have employed
John w. Davis, of Greensburg,
to assist the County Attorney in
: the prosecution, so that Mr.. Sui
livan will haye the assistance of
an able criminal lawyer, and
without any expense to the coun.
, ty.
Mr.. f. M. Davis did not ap-
pear before the Court on the 9th,
and it was reported that he bad
withdrawn from the case, but it
is known that he has held consul.
{ ttation with Mr.. Allen at the jail
since his commitment.
County Attorney Sullivan was
subjected to some criticism in
the early part of the proceedings,
! but subsequent events proves
that the criticism was unjust,
and was occasioned partly be-
cause the people were not corr
rectly informed concerning the
legal status of the case, and part
ly because some not friendly to
Mr.. Sullivan were endeavorng
to make political capital out of
the matter.
The public may rest assured
that the case will be diligently
and ably prosecuted, and that
justice will prevail.

For Probate Judge

Judge Randolph, our Demo.
cratic candidate for reelection
for Probate Judge has been un-
usually busy for the past several
weeks and as yet, he has spent
but little time in electioneerlng.
AS everyone knows, Mr.. Ran
dolph is "a rock in the founda-
tion of Meade County," as 1t
we're, having settled and farmed
in Fowler township for nearly a
quarter of a century. The prin-
cipal "hobby" Of the Judge is to
keep the records of his Office in
first class order, and attend
strictly to the duties of his Office.
It's safe guess that he will not
lose any votes by reason of his
having such a "hobby." No
Probate Judge has eyer had a
better record to his credit than
has Mr.. Randolph. His records
are open for your inspection and
approval. 1t is hard to improve
upon perfection. Such part is
the analysis of J. H. Randolph as
Probate Judge of Meade County.

Never before in the history of
Kansas has there been such need
of sheep on the average farm.
On thousands of farms today
there is enough feed being vast
ed to MAINTAIN a small flock of
sheep. Cattle are high and the
small farmer hesitates to buy
many cattle and it takes quite
good supply of feed to fatten
car of cattle. Sheep do not cost
much money and a farmer can
start in with a flock of even
dozen ewes and ram and will
have in few years profita bic
flock that will cost him but little
to maintain. Then a car of
lam bs for feeding will cost but
small sum and they can de gotten
ready for Christmas or February
market with small expense and
good profit. The Extension Di-
vision of the Agricultural College
is urging farmers to buy car
loads of sheep or lambs for win
ter feeding.
