orator in the first part of the ses-
sion.
The feature of the afternoon was the
address of Judge Samued D. Weakley.
The judge took for his subject. "What
the Movement for National Prohibi-
tion Means" and paid a tribute to the
work being done by the w. c. T. L.
In this regard. He said in part:
THE movement for national prohibi-
tfon means that the Women's Chris
tian Temperance union, which has been
such powerful factor in the great
fight for many years to restrict and
destroy the liquor traffic, will bend all
of It's energies throughout all of the
states TO ultimately destroy that traf-
fic as national institution, now rec
ognized and taxed by the national gov
ernrnent.
ut means further that the temper
snce and anti-saloon organizations Will
cooperate throughout the entire union
to the same end, thus forming an Or
ganization of sufficient strength and
influence to contest with the national
organization of brewers and distillers
with their enormous wealth and po-
litical power, all directed toward ex-
panding the liquor traffic.
THE movement means that the diff

FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS

The Democrats of Barton cOun-
ty have in Henry Gerlof as candi-
date for the office of Register of
Deeds a candidate for whom they
can consciously boost for this po-
Sition. He is a man most capable
of filling this position with credit
to himself and the people Of Bar
ton county and should receive the
solid support of his party. He is
a fine penman, one of the main
requisites of the person who is Sc
lected for this position, has an ex-
cellent education, and one of the
big points in his favor, and which
speaks most highly in his behalf,
is the almost solid support he is
going to receive in the localities
where he is best known. A man
who stands we'll with the people
who know him best is usually q
good man to select for any kind OF
public office, and no mistake will
be made if Henry Gerlof is elect
ed to the position Of Register Of
Deeds.

VOTE FOR DIRKs.

A. f. DirkS, the Democratic no
minee for Clerk of The District
Court, is a born German, who con-
verses in this language as fluent-'
ly as in the English tongue and
also reads and writes The lang
uaage, and could always oct as
interpreter in The court, when this
was necessary. instead of having
to send for an outside man as is
usually the case with the present
incumbent. The people of Bar
Ton county have been mighlygood
TO Sam Kellam, as he has served
len years in this place, and it is
time for them 10 give another man
a chance at the job. In Mr.. Dirks
they have a man who is amply
qualified in every way 10 give alb
solute satisfaction 70 all the pa4
irons of the office. He Is young.
ambitious, clean and. capable, and
he is entitled to. and we heAeve
will receive the support Of the vo-
ters of the county regardless Of
party lines.

A WORD TO THE VOTERS.

AS probably all of the voters of
the county know, the editor o.
The Democrat is the candidate Of
the Democratic party for County
Printer, and as such is soliciting
the votes of the men and women
of the county for reelection to
this position, as am now serving
my first term in the office.
Since taking charge Of the Dem
ocrat on January /, 1913. have
tried TO build up and make The
paper real county paper, and
the substantial increase in the
subscription list in that time Is
evidence that the people in all
parts of the county are appreciat-
ing my efforts in that lipe and
are willing to lend their aid to
me in making the paper still bet.
Ter in the future than it has been
in the past. Since taking charge
of the office the plant has been
added to with new equipment un-
ill the shop is now by far the best
in the county and one of the best
in the whole state.
While believing in and at all
times supportingthe principles Of
Democracy, | have endeavored to
be fair with those Of other politi-
cal faiths, and believe that | have
no apology to make to anyone
along this line. ! have at all times
been absolutely fair and honest
in my work for the county; have
never attempted to collect one cent
which was not legally and NOR
ally due me, and have never pre-
Sented a bill for work which was
not o. I'D by the county attorney
and allowed without question by
the Board of County Commissions
erS, and have conducted the work
of the office in a prompt, eff
cient and economical manner.
| sincerely appreciate the sup
port rendered me by the voters
two years ago, and if they believe
that | am entitled 10 a second. term
| will appreciate their support
this time and would be glad If
they would say a good word in
NY behalf to their friends.

many years a resident of this city
died at The family home in Wich-
ita Tuesday night of this week.
The body was brought to this
city Thursday morning and fun
eral services were held at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. f. L.
Marsh, at 1890 o'clock and inter-
ment was made in the cemetery
at this place.
Mrs. Holloway, whose maiden

of her death was almost 92 years
of age. On January 3Olh, 1850.

Seph w. Holloway, and to the
union were born six children, two
Of them, Mrs. d. T. Armstrong,

city to make their home, and re-
sided here until a few years ago

HELD ENJOYABLE PICNIC.

The members of the St. Peter &

enjoyable picnic Thursday after
noon at the Logan hall, north of
Ellinwood. The afternoon was
spent in a good social way, and in
diSpoSing of the most excellent
and abundant supply of good
things to eat which had been sup
piled by the ladies, and a most en-
iOyable time was had by the many
hundred in attendance. In the
evening a big dance was held in
the hall, music for the same being
furnished by the Morris orcheS-
ira, of Ellinwood, and the affair
was attended by practically all of
the young people of The communi-
ty and by many Of the older ones
as well. A number from this city
and community were present, both
in the afternoon and in the even
ing, and all report a fine time.

FOR REPRESENTATIVE.

In the person of Fred Zutavern,
the Democratic candidate for Rep
reSentative of this county, the vot-
erS of the county have a candi-
date Of whom no introduction is
necessary. Mr., Zutavern has been
engaged in business in this city
lor over thirty years, and is well
md favorably known to practical
ly every man, woman and child in
this county.
During the last session, Mr.. Zu-
tavern served on number of the
important committees of the
House and looked after the peo-
pie of Barton county in a most
conscientious and able manner.
de is a man who, in the legiSla-
live halls, forgetS party affilia-
ton and devoteS his whole time
and energy in looking after the
welfare of the people whom he
represents regardless of what par
ty or creed to which they belong,
and that is the kind Of a man that
is needed for this important posi-
lion. This fact was well demon
Strated when at the last session
Mr.. Zulavern introduced a bill
which gave him wide noloriety
all over this and adjoining states
and which was a bill with which
he was not in favor, but one Of his
constituents had requested that
il be brought before The legiSla-
ture and Mr.. Zulavern did so. And
that is The kind of man he is in
everyday life, and he is just the
same kind of a man when he is at
Topeka. He is honest and conSci-
entiOus in all his acts; outSpoken
in every way, and a man who can
be counted on at all times TO vote
and work for any measure, whe-
Iher il is introduced by a Demo-
crat or a Republican, if il is a
measure which will be in the in
tereSts of the people at large, and
he will not support any measure
which he does not believe is for
their good, no matter what pres
sure is brought to bear upon him.
He was one of the hardest work
ing members of the last session
and faithfully looked after the in
terests of the people Of Barton
county and it is his just dues thai
he receive a big majority at the
polls next Tuesday.
