To The Voters

In reference to my candidacy
for Probate Judge, would say to
the voters of Meade county, that,
upon the personal solicitation OF
many of my friends, and after
fully considering the RESPONSE
bilities of said Office, and my duty
under the new citizenship recent
ly conferred upon the women of
our state, accepted the candi-
dacy; knowing l was fully ac-
quainted with the duties of Pro-
bate Judge, having served as
clerk IN this Office a consider.
able part of the time for the past
two years, also l have Business
College education, therefore
feel myself qualified for the
position.
In addition to the care of the
interests, financially and other
wise of orphan children and
their estates, the Probate Judge
is ex-Oficio Judge of the Juvenile
Court. Both these duties are
such that motherhood natur-
ally fits person for the proper
discharge of the responsibilities
of this Office. l feel that in this
Office the mothers of this county
are especially interested because
of the two above facts. There
fore am asking the women, as
we'll as the men voters when they
go to the polls at the coming
election to carefully weigh my
candidacy for Probate Judge,
and if l am worthy, give me your
support which will be highly ap-
preclated.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Blache Love.

Kansas Democrats Garry Out
Promises to Voters
of State.
ADMINISTRATION is PROUD
OF RECORD IN LEGISLATURE
For Failure To Pass One Law They
Take Full Blame-For Other the
Republicans and Moosers In
terfered.

Kansas Democrats are this year go
ing before the Kansas voters with
record of performance that shows 10
Of the 10 platform pledges redeemed
by the 1913 legislature. For failure to
pass one law, the administration takes
full blame, although the bill was lost
in the closing hours of the session.
For failure to submit the initiative
referendum, the Democrats blame Re-
publicans and Progressive members.
In the 1912 campaign. the Demo
Gratis offered Is separate and distinct
platform planks. They elected a gov
ernor and controlled both branches
of the state legislature. Their record
shows that 3 OF the platform promises
were redeemed
One OF the planks In the platform
called for q recording mortgage tax
law. Both houses passed this law, but
both passed separate bills with mater
tally divergent provisions. The bill
went to a conference committee and
this committee was still out when the
legislature adjourned.
On the initiative and referendum
submitted TO the legislature by the
Democrats, every Democrat except one
voted for the amendment calling for
the constitutional amendment. Every
Republican and Progressive member,
with one exception, voted against the
resolution.
The legislature, however, submitted
the amendment calling for the recall
of derelict public officials. 1t passed
the school text book law, the Massa-
chusetts ballot law, the act consoli-
dating educational institutions under
single board, the small debtors court
law, the white slavery act, corporation
tax law, repealed inheritance tax law,
passed the fee and salary bill, pro-
vided for state aid for weak school dis
tricts, passed non.partisan judiciary
act. gave state aid for western irriga-
ton development, broadened work
mems compensation act, ratified cleo
tion United States senators by direct
vote OF people, in accordance with
amendment to federal constitution.
These enactments, in addition to con-
structive legislation not made part
OF their platform, is the record on
which the Democrats will make their
fight in the closing days OF the cam
paign.

Twenty-three New Voters "
Given Recognition by
The Governor.
I'VE WANT THEM BECAUSE
THEY DELIVER THE GOODS"
Democratic Administration Does Not
Overlook Rights of Women
In Public Office In Sun
flower State.

Records from the pay rolls In the
office OF the state auditor show that
since his Inauguration as chief execu-
tive, Governor Hodges has appointed
23 Kansas women to important posi-
tlons in Kansas-a record for recogni-
tion OF women in this state. Without
platform or personal pledge to recog-
Dize the women in his appointments,
Governor Hodges has given Kansas
women some OF the most important
offices at his command.
1T is because they deliver the
goods-becapse they are competent,
because they are worthy" was the
Kansas governors explanation when
asked for a reason for the large num-
Der of female appointees. There
hasn't been a woman appointed since
became governor who has not given
the state full dollars worth OF serv-
Ice. and more, for every dollar they
received"
Some Of the appointments have been
important, too. For instance, Mrs.
Cora G. Lewis OF KiDsley is a member
Of the educational administration
board The position pays $500 a
year. Mrs. Lewis serves with ex-Gover-
nor Hoch and Ed Hackney and she has
devoted her entire time to the work.
Then there is a woman superintend-
ont at the deaf school in Olathe, a
woman superintendent at the blind
school In Kansas City. These are the
only two institutions of like character
in the United States presided over by
a woman. A woman is head OF the
orphans home at Atchison-supVlant
ing a man. Two women have been
appointed physicians in the Topeka
and Osawatomie state hospitals. A
woman has been named as parole Of
ficer at the girls industrial school at
Beloit.
Miss Lenna Brasette is the states
first female factory inspector and has
performed a wonderful work both for
the state and the Kansas working
girls.
Two Kansas women serve on the
state board Of education, woman has
been appointed a member of the state
board Of health. woman is a member
Of the state board of osteopaths, four
women are members of the nurses
board, a woman serves on the school
text book commission, woman is thS
governors confidential stenographer,
woman dean has been named at the
state university, and a woman will be
matron of the Kansas building at the
Panama Pacific Exposition.

Bad Explosion

What might have been a SER
ious accident happened last FRI
day morning at w. c. Cordes'
place fourteen miles southwest
of Meade.
Ben, Albert, Ed, and Ormond,
sons of Martin Buck, were thresh
ing wheat in a field short dis
tance from the house. They
were running Nickelson-Shep-
herd steam engine and after a
short stop, were making prepar-
atiOns to resume work, when,
without the slightest warning, a
terrific explosion followed. Ben,
who was standing at the throttle
was thrown a distance of 120
feet and was picked up, quite
badly burised and scalded about
his hands and body. Albert,
who at the time the explosion oc-
Cured was passing under the
drive belt to get to his place to
pitch wheat, received a painful
cut under his shoulder, caused
either from a piece of casting
striking him, or from being hit
by some part of the engineas the
force of the, explosion forced 1t
forward twenty feet. Ed, who
was putting the belt on the fly
wheel, and Ormond who was fill
ing the supply tank, were unin-
jured. The injured boys were
brought to Meade and are inn
proving nicely at this time.
1t was at first reported that
the accident was due to careless
ness on the part of the boys, but
this was a mistake. AS nearly as
can be learned, the explosion
was caused by water and steam
escaping through stay bolt and
getting into the fire box.
The boys are we'll known in
Meade county and their friends
will be glad to learn that the ac-
cident was not more serious.

Experience" Is Jewel

is given much consideration.
Familiarity with the duties of
the position sought to be filled is
regarded as an essential qualifi-
cation.
The voters are called upon
this year to elect three Justices
of the Supreme Court and a Judge
of this District Court, the names
of the candidates appearing on
the ballot without any party des-
ignation whatever. The Non
partisan Judiciary Law enacted
in 1913 is intended to eliminate
politics out of the selection and
election OF Judges, so that our
Judges will be free from party
influence and will not be under
obligation to political party for
their election.
There are six candidates for
Justices of the Supreme Court,
two of whom are now holding
that office.
A. w. Benson of Ottawa, a
man who when a boy heard the
bugle call enlisted and served his
Country, was an Attorney who
had practiced in Franklin county
Kansas, for some thirty years,
when he was appointed Justice
of the Supreme Court, which
position he still holds. He is an
able and conscientious Judge.
John S. Dawson, the present
Attorney General of Kansas, was
admitted to practice law in 1899,
and he is recognized as one OF
the most able trial lawyers in
the State.
Edward c. Little, who served
in the Spanish-American War,
has practiced law since 1885, and
has had an extensive practice
over the State.
John Marshall, who has served
as Assistant Attorney General,
has practiced law since 1888, and
has written a work on Probate
Law.
Mrs. Lizzie S. Sheldon was adj
mitted to practice law several
years ago, and has small prac-
tice in Lawrence, Kansas.
Henry f. Mason, who has been
a Justice of the Supreme Court
for almost twelve years, was adj
mitted to practice law in 1881,
and practiced in Garden City
from 1886 TO 1902. Decisions
written by Judge Mason show
that he is an able jurlst and a
man of letters. When he does
not agree with the other Justices,
he invariably sets out his reas-
ons in lucid dissenting opinion.
These candidates, except Mrs.
Sheldon, are we'll known to the
Mem bers of the Kansas Bar and
to many of the voters.
The candidates for Judge of
this district are Carl Van Ripper
who was admitted to practice
law nine years ago and has prac-
ticed in partnership with Mike
Sutton and afterwards with Lou
Madison in many of the Courts
of the District.
L. NJ. Day was admitted to
practice law thirty years ago and
has practiced in this District for
the last twenty-eIght years, hav-
ing resided at Greensburg dur
ing that time. He has enjoyed
large practice in the counties
in this and adjoining Districts,
and he is recognized as one of
the leading lawyers in south
western Kansas. Both Mr.. Van
Ripper and Mr.. Day are good
clean citizens and decent law
yers, the one having had nine
years experience and the other
thirty years.
We have endeavored to give
the voters such information as
will enable them to choose and
vote for the ablest, most expert
enced and capable candidates for
the important Offices of Justices
of the Supreme Court and Judge
