to repel the invasion.

and attempt to effect landing with its
theoretical army of invasion 1t will
be the first of this years war games,

command of Rear Admiral j. H. Helm,
with the destroyer flotilla, will defend
the approach to the vital parts of the
coast from an attack by the present At

stress will be laid upon the value Of

defending squadron. The radius of ac-
tion will be about that of last years.

Victory in Kansas

Automobiles lined the roads and
people could not find standing room
at the Republican meeting at the
Kirby school house last night. I'm
like the Methodist camp meeting nc
one was converted. They didn't need
to be. In fact the enthusiasm of the
Republican party was so unbounded
that all thoughts of a wholesale
conversion were lost and the real
difficulty came in keeping the
crowd from cheering long enough to
give the speakers time to finish
their talks.
Walter Payne ably expounded the
Democratic rural credits bill and
showed wherein it was impractical
and failure. The farmers don't
like the idea OF not being able to
pay off their loans as soon as pos
sible and are even willing to pay a
higher rate of interest on shorter
term note The fact that not one
rural credits association has been
formed in the country was pounded
home to the farmers. Mr.. Payne

WHY WE NEED SELLARDS
AS REPRESENTATIVE

Dickinson county has a chance to
do her part toward efficiency as
well as honesty on election day
when the voters exercise their
choice for representative. II can
didate is efficient and honest they
should allow no considerations in
party or friendship to sway them
away from voting for him. j. I.
Sellards, the Republican candidate
for representative from this district,
is capable and honest and should
receive the united support Of the
voters of Solomon and vicinity
Here he has lived for many years
and those who have known him
longest are his best friends. He
is well fitted to fill the office he
seeks For years he was engaged
in the mercantile business in Solo
mon and was the towns most sue
cessful merchant This experience is
a valuable asset to a representative.
1t puts him in a position to know
the needs of the business man. For
this and other reasons the business
men of Solomon, regardless of par
ty affiliations, are behind him and
all other business men of the coun-
ty should be for him. After dispos-
ing of his mercantile business he
again turned his attention to the
farm and has been most successful
in this vocation. He is one of the
county's large land owners and
stock raisers. This experience will
be valuable to him in the legisla-
ture and will be the means of him
securing a large farmers vote.
Nothing need be said regarding the
sound judgment of the man as he
has fully proven that in his success
full career. We need such a man to
represent us in the legislature at
Topeka and we take pleasure in
recommending Tom Se1lards to tho
voters Solomon Tribune.

C. M. Harger spoke at length and
was cheered to the echo. A big ma
jority for Harger is assured through
out the county and district
w. S. Anderson and ]. T. Sellards
we're other principal speakers on
the program. The Abilene ladies
quartet sang rousing campaign
songs and was greeted by the
cheers of the large audience. Cof-
fee and doughnuts were served to
all present by the ladies of the
community. This meeting was one
of the biggest and most enthusias-
tic of the campaign and the candi-
dates are very optimistic as to the
outcome of the election next week.
With the general election only
week off, Republicans of Dickinson
county and of every other county in
the state are preparing to make the
best organized drive ever made in
Kansas politics in a supreme effort
to sweep the state and pile up Re-
publican majority which already
promises to be large.
Every committeeman and candi-
date in the state has organized his
work systematically for this week
and every township will be covered
to get out the vote. This type of
work, it is pointed out, will assure
complete victory for the Republi-
cans.
Reports show conclusively that

lican state ticket will sweep Kan
