CAN'T SUPPORT H. F.. KLINE FOR
REPRESENTATIVE AND OUR
REASONS WHY

For the first time in the history OF
our newspaper experience we are
called upon to take an attitude to-
ward one of the candidates on the
ticket that we have always supported
that may be surprise to some of our
readers. We believe the reasons
which we will furnish will fully just
ify the position which. we assume.
First, H. F. Kline is running q
Democratic paper and supporting the
Democratic ticket, as shown on the
second page of his paper where the
Democratic ticket appears in full.
From his first association with the
Reporter he has at no time publicly
announced the politics of his paper.
matter that has caused considera-
bic conjecture and comment There
was a reason for this and it is easy TO
be seen that he has been trying to
carry water on. both shoulders, some
thing that will always lead to the de-
feat of any man that tries it in any
walks of life.
Since owning the paper never one
good word has been spoken in its
columns for the Republican party
| but column after column devoted to
the Democrats and their Interests,
| therefore, we phatically say that
Kline should look to the Democrats
for his support and not to the Repub-
licans.
One of our strongest reasons for
not supporting this candidate is
ID 0f
came to Wa-Keeney and thought i'm
TO the Reporter please keep in mind
Kline still owned the paper he went
out before the primary and worked
tooth and toe nail for certain Demo
Gratis on the Democrat ticket and
Kline smiiingly permitted it and
still asked the Republicans to sup
port him. Such a system of double
dealing should not be permitted in
any political party and no candidate
can use such m ethods and be sup
ported by the World. Kline has
! owned the paper for the last eight
years dating from the time that
| Samuel Wassam of New York City
was associated with it and during ali
| this time he has never given the Re
publican party one good word or in
any manner helped its interests
along but has been lavish in giving
space to all Democratic interests.
Now, what we want to know of our
Republican voters is do you think
! that this man is worthy of the votes
of a party that he has never helped
| by act, word or deed. Let every Re-
| publican voter in Trego county think
over this matter seriously before
voting for this candidate who asks
for the highest office within the gift
| of the people.
