in the plans of some of the brides and
hridegrooms announced for the late au-
tumn. There are debutantes in the
service, also, who know not whether
they may count upon making their bow
this winter in a Washington drawing
room or whether their diversions are to
be those Of an isolated Texan post.
Several of the debutantes of last sea-

bat when it comes to ballroom and
other belleship honors. After a first
winter of almost unprecedented sue
cess and gayety they have gone back

for the moment have the foreground
in their thoughts.

a REQUEST FOR SQUARE POLITICS

We are now facing great political
campaign national, state and county,
and more than usual interest is being
manifested in local politics. While
we are all keenly alive to the na-
tional and state yet it is the politics
of our own county and district that
interests most vitaily from our close
association With them We person
ally know nearly all of the candidates
and personal interest is after all
the keenest interest. 1t seems to us
that at this time when the candidate
is getting things lined up and laying
plans for his campaign that it is
pretty good time to pause and get
few facts settled in our own minds.
Every one knows the political poll
cies of the World, Republican first,
last and all the. time, Republican
right or wrongl Republican till we
die. When the old party goes we go
with it.
Enough said, all know where WE
stand, and the question now is where
does the OTHER fellow stand2 The
owner and publisher of the Reporter,
representative and ,euI readers wilk
remember that the World as Re
publican paper and supporter of Re-
publican candidates demanded to
know what the politics of the Re-
porter was? An eyasive answer was
given and we were given to understand
that its policies were Democratic aud
that it was none of our business but
it was our business for we refused to
head the ticket with mans name
who was running Democratic paper
and running for the highest Office in
the county on the Republican ticket
and asking for Republican support.
Now we are up against the same
proposition again. Kline is running
for representative supposedly on the
Republican ticket and the old old
trick that has been pulled repeatedly
is again operating. Mr.. Lloyd Garri-.
son of Concordia has purchased fen
supposttion) the Reporter and viii
make a Democratic paper oft many
leading Democrats subscribing to the
support of the paper. The truth in
the nut shell is this: Mr.. Garrison,
has not purchased or does not own
the Reporter, it is only a trick to
side step certain campaign issues.
Kline still owns and controls the pa
per. On our life we can see no rea-
son why he should not come out on
the square and tell just what his paper
stands for. If it is Democratic say
| so, if Republican let it be known. A
sham sale few weeks before election
| and then the paper reverting back
right after election to its old policies
| is stunt that has been pulled off un-
til the people are used to it and we
cannot see how Intelligent voters can
be willing to support man who has
played hide and seek with politics
ever since he has been in the newSpa-
per business and in fairness to the
voters of this county we ask the
owner and publisher of the Reporter
to come out and make clean and
open declaration of where he stands
in this campaign.
