PLEADS GUILTY TO FORGERY
GETS OFF WITH FINE

Dumas Pacheco, of Kahului, was
fined $50 by District Magistrate Nc
Kay, on Wednesday, on his plea of
guilty to charge of forgery. The
fine was paid. The young man, who
had been employed by Contractor j.
Emmesley, signed his employers
name to check for $50 which he
later had cashed by l.. Apana, a Kah-
u'ui tailor. Pacheco's plea for mercy
was based on the ground that he was
drunk.

Mr. Otis L. Benton, Oberlin, Kansas
Friend Benton:-
We understand that you are can
didate for Congress. We have known
you for thirty years, last past. We
have done thousands of dollars worth
of business with you and your bank.
You have always been accommodating
to US, and your reputation in this coun-
ty is, that If a man treats you right,
always treat them right. You run a
good bank and we always put our
money IN 1t, and we can always get 1t
when we want it. When we want to
borrow, you always loan US money.
You have furnished thousands of bu
shells of seed wheat to the farmers Of
Decatur County, and to our certain
knowledge you have helped everybody
who is industrious and honest.
We want to see you go to Congress,
because we want an honest business
man who understands farming and cat
tie business as you do. We shall 90
everything in our power to help you IN
any way you want US to, and we are
glad to have the voters of this District
know the truth.
We live four miles west Of ObeDlIn
and have lived there thirty years, and
we think that we understand the con
ditions in this County.
Very truly yours,

The above item in a Democratic
newspaper in Shawnee county has, ex-
cited considerable comment IN political
circles. An investigation shows that
Mr.. Brown was for many years an &C
tive member of the Democratic Flam-
beau club of Topeka; that he served on
important committees in that club; that
for some reason he dropped out of the
club year or so ago but few months
later-less than six months ago-he
applied for readmission and was reject
ed for personal reasons. He again
renewed his application and was re-
jected a second time. The investga-
ton further shows that to be admitted
to the Democratic FlambeaU club of
Topeka an applicant must sign a card
stating among other things that he is q
firm believer in the principles of
Democracy
Under the old primary law it was
necessary for candidate for a state
Office to secure large number of pc
titioners in order TO get his name on
the ballot, under the new law a candi-
date can either file petitions or file a
declaration, paying fee. Mr.. Brown
filed a declaration, paid the fee and
became a candidate without the name
of single Republican to vouch for
either his qualifications or his Repub-
licanism. Topeka Daily Capital, July

Beloit Call: The Call Office is in re-
ceipt of the word that print paper has
taken another hike in price. If this
necessary adjunct to the printing bust
ness continu es in its upward tendency
there is going to be hard Shedding for
those papers which stick to the old
price, made when paper was only half
the price which it costs now. If the
reader OF a paper only realized how
small the margin of profit is O. he sub
scription price of paper, he oughtn' t
for a minute to hesitate about keeping
his subscription paid up to the minute.
To neglect to pay the country paper
the paltry price of subscription is an
other proof of mans humanity to
man.

Friend Benton:-
am glad to know that. you are a
candidate for Congress. I remember
you many years ago when you were a
cattle man in this county with the rest
of US. remember that you were for
years one of the big cattle men of this
part of Kansas, and you and I have had
lots of business deals, buying and sell
ling, and our friendship dates back to
those early days when we cattlemen
used to sleep under the same blanket.
A man VINO understands the country as
you do, from actual experience, having
faced the hot winds and gone through
the dry seasons of the past, has gained
an experience that will enable him to
go down to Washington and do some
good for this part of Kansas.
I want to see you elected, and will
do all can for you. I have lived in
Sheridan County since the cowboy
days-was one myself-and have gone
through the ups and downs of a from
tier life, and want to see one of my old
friends in Congress, and hope that the
cattlemen and farmers of this District
will not miss the opportunity of sup
porting you In the coming campaign.

Republican sentiment 1t is said, has picked Representative John E. Heckman, of Ketchikan, for Terrltor- ial Senator. and Representative John c. Held, of Juneau, Monte Benson. of Douglas. Jack Wilson of Tread well, and John G. Grant, Of Wran- gell for Representatives. However, 1t also is said, this slate is subject so change without notice.
 The Republican nominating com mittee has not yet candidate for Delegate to Congress, and no new names have been sprung within the last few days. A strong element )f the party is pressing the candi- dack of Delegate James Wickersham on the party, but 1t is said that he must agree to the cooperation with the regular Republican organization if he receives a nomination.
 The Republican First Division con yention will meet August 9th, and 1t is likely that there will be action on the Delegateship by the Republi- can delegates unless nominee should be accepted earlier than that time.
