Bristow, of Salina, former United

audience at Ogallah and at 2:30 p.
M spoke at the Court House in Wa
Keeney to an interested and attentive
audience. He has gained little I'M
popularity during his present polit-
ical campaign not through any DIS
loyalty but by telling some very plain
truths about some very important
i matters concerning the expenditures
made by the government during the
p1 esept war. He tells things that are
mighty good for the people to know
and think about. He only -eitera-es
statements made by Theodore Rcose-
welt and Congressman Conncley, OF
this district. Bristow realizes that IN
telling these plain facts backed by
statistics and figures that it is not
the popular thing but he says he is
determined that the people shall
know the truth about some of things
that they should know. He left about
five o'clock for Hill City where he
was scheduled to speak.
