1t Is Your Dollar

Don't send your money off to
some foreign concern just be-
cause it says in its advertising
that it has a corner on bargains.
Don't take too much for granted.
Before you let go of your dollar
you should make a full and COM
plete investigation. 1t is your
duty to do this. 1t is your dollar.
You worked hard to get it. You
are entitled to one hundred cents
in value for it. To get full value
you must keep posted. And there
is only one way. When you read
only what the out-of-town con-
cern has to say, you know only
what the out-of-town concern
has to Offer. You should know,
also, what the home merchant
has to offer. You should see his
goods and get his prices. You
should do this in fairness to
yourself. The home merchant
asks only a fair chance at your
business. He is entitled to a fair
share of your trade if he can
serve you well-not otherwise.
So, this suggestion is offered:

ment demanded.

opponent as | have now; by your
vote you signifed me as your

do the same again. If my rec
ord meets with your approval,
so signify by voting for me >on

What Have the Republicans
Done in Kansas?

The question before the men
and women in this campaign is:
What have the Republicans done
to merit the support Of the vot-
ers? Two years ago when the
Democrats were in control, many
new projects were inaugurated.
The Democrats provided for the
state publications Of text books.
They established the tubercular
sanitarium at Norton. They
spent money establishing expert
ment stations at Colby and at
Lakin. They provided a building
for the study of irrigation in
order that the people of western
Kansas might have some assist
ance. They took the inheritance
tax off the poor mans inherit
ance and placed it upon the cor
porations.
Now look what the Republi-
cans have done. Created twen-
ty-seven new jobs in order to
build up a political machine.
Raised the salaries of twenty
five Republican office holders.
Fired a number of Democrats
who had opposed Capper. Raised
the taxes on the farmer:and mer-
chant in order that the corpora
tions would not have to pay
more. Fired a dozen laboring
men who were probably receiv-
ing $500 per day and then added
Fred Jackson, Ed. McKeever, j.
L. Smalley, A. M. Keene and six
other attorneys in the Attorney
Generals Office. Placed a White
Way around the State House
grounds in order that it would
light up the Capper buildings.
Look these over, Mr.. Voter,
and see which you think is the
most beneficial to you.

Double Election Boards For
Meade County

Topeka, Oct. 14.-Nearly one
fourth of the voting precincts in
Kansas will have double election
boards at the election next
month. The law passed by the
1915 legislature provided that in
all precincts which had polled a
total of 250 votes for secretarys
of state in the previous election
should be entitled to a double
election board, one to count and
one to receive the ballots.
There are about 1900 pre-
cincts in the state, including all
of the cities. Of these 621 will
be entitled to double election
boards.
There are many western Kan
sas counties with, only one pre4i,,
cinct entitled to the double
board. This is the precinct COW
ering the county seat town.
Shawnee county has the largest
number of precincts but most of
them are small. Only "a Wyan-
dotte precincts are large enough
for the double board. Sedgwick
county has only 27 while Craw-
ford has thirty. Reno has II
that require double election
boards.
Meade county has two pre-
cincts requiring double election
boards.
This new law is an excellent
one in that it will eliminate the
long hours of counting after the
votes are cast and also the sus-
pense experienced by candidates
in waiting for the returns to
come in. With the double board,
votes can be counted almost as
soon as cast, so that by midnight
or a little after county candi-
dates at least will know their
fate.

y Short oaNk about Some SNlngs Of
SNtevest 10 You and Nour NelSMNors

When you have a dollar to spend,
go first to your home merchant.
Show him your dollar. Then,
ask him to show you his goods.
Take a good look for yourself.
Ask questions. Get prices. Make
up your own mind. Reach your
own conclusions. Don't forget
that it is your own dollar and
that you want to spend it in the
right way. If the home mer-
chant shows you an article of
merit and quotes you a fair
price, and says: John, this
transaction is not closed until
you are satisfed-you can re-
turn the article if it doesn't
make good"-if he talks to you
in that way-you can count that
that dealer is a pretty good
friend to tie to. You can trust
him. He is on the square. When
you trade with him, you not only
will get full value for your
money, but you will be helping
the business of your town---you
will be helping yourself-and
you will be helping a neighb0r.
