Seward county reversed herself
Tuesday and came under the wire
with q handsome Democratic majori-
ty in a manner that brought great
hunks of Joy to the tribe of Jefferson.
There were no Democratic candidates
for the Offices of county clerk, county
treasurer, county attorney or COM
missioner from the Second district,
hence these Offices were conceded to
the Republicans before the election.
Sheriff Dobson, Democrat, had no
opposition in the Republican party,
and his election was assured, but out
side of that and with the loss Of the
probate judges office, which went
Republican by about go votes, the
Democrats made clean sweep of the
court house, which is quite reversal
of the old time order of things in this
county. President Wilson carried
the county by an overwhelming ma
jority and Congressman Shouse was
given a vote of which he should feel
proud. Sam Buckland, Liberal boy
running for the Office of Attorney
General, was also given vote in this
county that shows the loyalty of Sew
ard county to her son. A telegram
from A. A. Doerr of Larned this
morning states he carried the Thirty
Eighth senatorial district by over g.
OO0, and he came out Of this county
by vote that helped pile up that ma
jority quite a little. He also beat
Glenn In the. latter.sc home precinct
! and county, which shows how we'll
liked the Missouri Pacific attorney is
by his neighbors and those who know
/. him best. Mr.. Doerr, on the other
hand, carried his county (Pawnee)
by 1000 majority. Yesterdays
Hutchinson News, rank Simmons
supporter, comedies the reelection
of Congressman Shouse by vote of
1900 to 1000, in which case you will
be safe in doubling the figures. The
election of Shouse and Doerr simply
means that the people of southwest
Kansas want their interest looked af-
ter in congress and the state senate
instead of the interests of the Santa
Fe and the Missouri Pacific railroads.
Notwithstanding the eleventh-hour
circulars put out by the Republican
and Independent candidates for rep
resentative and superintendent, the
Democratic candidates, A. A. Farmer
and Miss Emma Thompson, both
went into office by handsome majori-
ties. Also, the Democratic candi-
date for justice of the peace, whom
we saw fit to land on properly last
week, won out by majority that
shows the American people still like

The president nevertheless the right to
change his mind that his hated enemies of yesterday

have now become automatically, his supporters and
trusted friends through the simple process of the pres
dent getting in line with them and claiming the credit
Of powerful leadership.
The presidents references Mexico in the singular
speech quoted above of lively local interest here
He says he has learned all he about Mexico from
liars and that he tell the liars what is in their
minds to say, before they open their mouths. One
naturally wonders how many of these liars to whom
he refers, have been the payrols of the
state department the treasury department, the depart
ment OF justice, his personal payroll special
diplomatic and personal representatives without dipo-
matte constitutional status. 1t would be interesting
TO have list Of these liars from whom president Wilson
mas learned all he knows about Mexico Roosevelt
always classified and posted his pet liars held them up
Icy to public scOTn, and told in detail precisely
in what respects they had offended. One by one he
added 70 the Aranias club until as somebody
remarked, he had a group there distinguished as

went away very much confused" when the president
told them, before they had chance speak, exactly
what they were about to say We should think that
marvellous demonstration of mental teepathy wou1 be
calculated to confuse anybody. It is uncanny.
At any rate, 1t is matter of interest to know
that the president has had facts which to found
his extraordinary policy toward Mexico; he has been
