OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER
VOTE FOR GEORGE McGILL.

Every Democrat voter in Bar
ton county should remember that
this county has a candidate on
the state ticket at the August pri-
marieS in the person of George
McGill. of Wichita, who is seek
ing the Democratic nomination
for Attorney General. George is
strictly a Barton county boy. He
is a son of Tobias McGill, of this
city, and was a resident of this
county since his early childhood,
and secured his education in the
schools of this county and in the
old Central Normal College. At
ter going to Wichita some nine
years ago, he served as deputy
county attorney of Sedgwick
county for four years, and his
work was of such high order that
he was then elected as county at
torney by a good majority, and
although Sedgwick county is nor
mally over 1900 majority Repub-
'lican, Mr.. McGill was so we'll
thought of that when he was a
candidate for reelection two
years ago he received a majority
of almost 5000. He is one of the
brightest and most able lawyers
in the state and ranks very high
among the legal fraternity. 1t is
practically the unanimous. YER
dict among the people of Sedg-
wick county that he has made the
very best prosecuting attorney
that the county has ever had, and
there is no question but that if
nominated and elected he will fill
the. position of Attorney General
in the same creditable manner
as the position he now holds, and
the Democrats of Barton county
should stand by him unanimous
'ly:
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1914-07-24

your friends of its good. and its
bad qualitieS-we're willing that
both should be shown up impair
TALLY. If you have not been a
reader of the Democrat and de-
sire to be a subscriber to a paper
without apology or excuse it is a
good time to have your name
added to the subscription list
right now. 1t will cost you just
81 per year, and we are willing
to guarantee that you'll get the
worth of your investment.
Come in and look over the new
machine and the shop. The limo
type is one of the most wonder
full machines ever invented and
their work is interesting even to
persons who understand the
printing game. While the one
in this office is hardly country
broke yet, still it is getting so
that it is fairly tractable in har-
ness, and we will be glad to ex-
plain its workings to all visitors.
You'll find it a trinket that is
worth while looking over.
Six different faces of type are
carried on the machine at the
same time, and the different faces
can be changed by the operator
at will without his ever having
to leave his seat. 1t will also cast
lines varying in length from one
to five inches, or from 6 to 80
pleas, as a printer would say, and
all of these changes can be made
without the operator taking the
time to move from his chair. The
new machine puts the Democrat
office in a class by itself, as far
as this section of the country is
concerned, in handling big jobs,
such as bills, catalogues, book
lets, circulars, ETC., and we invite
everyone needing work in this
line to come in and let us figure
on the job. We may not be the
cheapest printers in the world
we have no desire to have a rep
utation along this line but you
will find the prices will be right
and the work far better than you
can secure any other place in
town, and it will be ready for you
when you want it. We like the
rush jobs, and you will not be
troubled with delays if you have
your work done in this shop,
We're known as the "On-Time"
Printery and we live up to our
reputation.

THE DEMOCRATS NEW $1,000
90 TYPESETTING MACHINE
THE NEW MODEL 5 MERG
ENTHALER. STANDARD
LINOTYPE.

The above is a cut of the new
Model s Mergenthaler Standard
Linotype installed in the Demo-
crat office this week, one of the
finest machines of its kind in the
world, and also one of the very
few machines of its kind in the
state.
1t has been the aim of the DEM
ocrat man to give his readers and
the patrons of the office the very
best service possible to render,
and it is in keeping with this pol
icy that the new machine was
bought and installed. The new
machine, together with the other
equipment of the office, makes
the Democrat not only by far the
best equipped printing plant in
the county, but also in this part
of the state, and will enable the
office to turn out a claSS and vol
ume of work not equalled by any
other office in this vicinity.
The price of the machine and
its equipment, together with the
freight and installation expenses,
figures a cost of close to $4,000,
which is seemingly about the
same as buying a box of gold dol
lars when it is considered that
the machine only occupies a
floor space of about five feet
square. But it will enable the Of
flee to turn out a better and new
Sier paper, better printed, with
out an additional cent of expense
to our readers, and we hope thai
every one of them will cooper.
ate with us in this work of build
ing up and making the Democrat
the very best paper in this part
of the state, so that we may feel
that we have been justified in the
investment. 1t is our aim at al
times to give our readers all OF
the news worth while and to pre-.
sent the news to them in a pleas.
ing manner. John Jones and jim
Smith both look alike to the Dem.
ocrat man as far as news is con.
cerned, and it is our aim to cater
to no one class or to pat one per.
son on the back to the detrimeni
of another. If you are already
a subscriber to the paper you car
greatly assist the editor by telling

a UNIQUE RECORD.
Very Few Like It In Our Broad
Republic.

Home testimony for Doan'S
Kidney Pills, published in every
locality, is of itself convincing
evidence of merit. Confirmed
testimony forms still stronger
evidence. Years ago, a citizen of
Great Bend gratefully acknow-
lodged the benefit derived from
Doan'S Kidney Pills. This state
ment is now confirmed-the
proof more convincing. Cases of
this kind are plentiful in the
work of DOan's Kidney Pills
the record is unique.
Mrs. A. Rothgarn, 1921 18th
Street, Great Bend, says: 81
suffered a great deal from back
ache, in fact it was almost con-
slant. | also had pains in my
head when | stopped. became
dizzy and | often noticed that
the kidney secretions were I'M
natural. Since using Doan'S Kid
ney Pills, procured from the Bar
ricklow Drug Co., l have felt
much better in every way.
gladly confirm my former state
ment of Doan'S Kidney Pills.
