THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. POLITICS IN OTHER COUNTIES VOLUME VI. The Plaindoaler Scribes Circulates Over the State and Interviews a Few of the Candidates for the Various County Officers. They Deserve the Suffrage of the People. HUTCHINSON NOTES. Andy Sims is at Hot Springs for his health. W. W. Fisher spoke at Garfield last Tuesday night. Mr. Fisher made a great hit. Arrangements are being made for him to speak here again during the campaign. J. B. Bass of THE PLAINDEALER was in town this week. A large crowd attended the big rally at Wichita Monday. Rev. Griffith, the new presiding elder, held quarterly meeting here Sunday. The people are very much pleased with him and are taking a new start for this year. FOR DISTRICT JUDGE. F. P. Hettinger of Hutchinson, Reno county, is making the race for district judge from the Ninth judicial district composed of Reno, Harvey and McPherson counties. In this contest he has the hearty support of a large number of the leading colored citizens in Reno county and they are anxious that the colored voters of this district should know of his friendly attitude toward the race that he may get the support that he is deserving from their hands. Mr. Hettlinger has been a resident of Reno county for the past 19 years where he has practised law, the Hettinger Bros. being the name of the firm. He is one of Hutchinson's progressive citizens, an able and experienced lawyer, who would bring to the judgement all of those high ideals which go to make a fair and impartial judge. There is strong sentiment throughout the district in his behalf for the position, and he will receive a hearty support from the colored voters of the district. All of the colored people of Hutchinson speak of him in the highest terms. Because he has at all times taken a keen interest in their advancement, they feel assured that in his election to the judge-ship of this district they will have a judge who will dispense justice in a fair and impartial manner. Mr. Hetlinger is a genial and pleasant man to meet, and his fair dealing and friendly acts have enlisted for him an army of supporters for the position to which he aspires from all classes and from all parties. SALINA NOTES. Nearly all of Salina's colored families own their homes. Several former Topeka residents are living here. Politics have begun to warm up, and it is going to be a warm contest for sheliff. Geo. H. Meyer, the popular undersheriff of this county is making a splendid canvass for the office of sheriff. It is admitted on all sides that his long and successful career as an officer in this county entitles him to that position. The business interests of the city are supporting him to a man. Many of the leading colored citizens are for him; in fact it is conceded that he will receive three-fourths of the colored vote. Mr. Meyers was raised up in this vicinity and knows personally all of our people. He has always been fair and there is no question of his friendship towards our people, and they will, regardless of politics, support him for any position to which he may aspire. Our people at this time receive no official recognition and know that in supporting a man who has always shown his friendship as Mr. Meyer, that they cannot at least lose anything. J. B. Bass was in the city last week in the interest of THE PLAINDEALER Johnny Neal, who runs in here on the Missouri Pacific, is on his vacation visiting the world's fair. has arrived, and has taken charge of the A. M. E. church. The town of Bassett, adjacent to this city, is putting on airs; a new jail is in process of erection. The colored people of Iola in large numbers are looking with favor on the candidacy of W. H. Thompson, the brilliant young attorney of Iola for county attorney. They take this view for various reasons, that aside from being friendly to them both himself and his father have always been interested in the advancement of our people. There is no question but that the tax prosecution of late years has increased crime in this community, and for what a few isolated criminals do, a stigma is cast on the race at large. A more popular nomination could not have been made than that of Mr. Thompson. He is making an active canvass, and there is no question but that he will get a strong support from all classes, and with a fair share of the colored vote there is no question of his election. E. E. ENOCH. Probate Judge E. E. Enochs of Wichita, Kansas is one of the pleasantest men to meet in all Kansas, and when once you have met him you cease to wonder at his immense popularity throughout Sedgwick county. The judge makes everyone feel at home in his presence and the humblest citizens receive as much attention as the most influential. The judge has always been a Jonah until appointed to the office of probate judge, as far as serving in the office was concerned. He was elected as police judge by the largest majority ever given a candidate for that position, but just about the time he was to assume the duties of that office, the Supreme Court said it was an appointive one. He was also elected justice of the peace and the legislature took away the fees. Mr. Enock, aside from serving in this position since January 11, was for five years deputy to Judge Thos. Wilson, and in electing Judge Enoch the people are not experimenting. The colored voters will stand by judge as a unit; even the ones who are fighting other portions of the ticket. WICHITA NOTES The Reflector has been revived as an anti-Republican sheet, edited by the veteran journalist, D. L. Robinson, and managed by Captain Sam Jones. They are creating quite a furor in political circles in these parts and Dan'l Boone has put some of the colored boys to work. The move has accomplished that much, if no more. Daniel Boone seems to be very unpopular as far as the colored population is concerned; probably it is a case of no love lost. W. L. Appling will get the solid colored vote as he is one in a very few of the officials in Kansas who believe in recognizing the colored vote to the extent of giving them a position in their office. The big barbecue at Riverside was a decided success. The fire started was so warm that Henry James has been working over to put it out. W. R. Ady of Ottawa is making a great race for sheriff. Many of the colored voters are for him. ATCHISON COUNTRY POLITICS. The people of Atchison county do not seem much stirred up over politics at this time, Lut probably may later on. We called upon the following nominees on the Republican ticket and found them happy, and they spoke favorably of the coming majorities which will no doubt be large. The men of this county always treat newspapermen right, and this class are always placed before the public: Hon. Frek Gliem, candidate for register of deeds, is now serving his first term, and the Republicans have nominated him for that office. He has filled the office creditably and now asks the people to give him their support. He has no opposition and they should give him no less than 1200 majority. Mr. Gliem is of German extraction and this county is full of Germans who support the Republican ticket. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 21, 1904 The popular county clerk, S. S. King, who came to Atchison forty years ago and who is a life long Republican standing well with the people, is a candidate for re election to the office which he has so admirably filled. He usually has no opposition, but some young man has decided to contest with him for the office which is of no use, because Mr. King is so well known and liked, having filled the office to the satisfaction of everybody, therefore he will be supported by both parties. His majority is never less than one thousand. The Republicans of this county can well be proud of their district judge, Hon. B. F. Hudson. He was appointed by Gov. Stanley to complete the unexpired term of Judge Bland, and has now been nominated for that office for the first time. So well has he filled this office and judicated all matters before him that he has won the esteem of all regardless of party. He is an old soldier, and was an adjutant in the Forty-sixth colored infantry. Judge Hudson was born in Chester county Pennsylvania and came to Atchison in 1870. He is a graduate of the University of Ann Arbor, Mich., having come directly from there to this county. He has filled the office of city attorney and there is but little or no question of his election. We called upon one of the stalwart Republicans of Atchison county last week, whom we claim to be one of the best mixers in the state, Hon.W.D. Kasey who is at pres nt, judge of the city court of Atchison. He has been nominated by the Republicans for probate judge, and the people will not regret the support they will give him, as he is a gentleman who respects the rights and feelings of everybody. He was appointed judge of the city court by Gov. Stanley, and it seems to be a tradition of his to climb step by step in the judgeship line until he has surmounted one of the highest rounds in the county. Mr. Kasey was born in Carroll county Mo., and was brought by his parents to Atchison when thirteen years of age. When a mere lad he was a newsboy, and it was at that time that he saved enough money to educate himself. He graduated from the law department "Depaw," Green Ca-tle, Lud. He afterwards distinguished himself as a jurist by the fair and impartial decisions rendered in all cases brought before him in the city court. There is no doubt of his election—the question that now confronts the people of the county, is what his majority will be. The Republicans of Atchison county have done something toward recognizing the colored voters, in that they have nominated Dr. G. G. Brown for coroner. While the office carries no remuneration, it is of some honor to be recognized by the pary to which he is allied. Dr. Brown was born in Missouri and came to Atchison in '86 where he has since lived. He is a graduate of the high school of that city and also of K. U. He completed a course from the medical and surgical department at the Howard University, and afterwards served a term in the Freeman hospital, where he equipped himself to go out into the world and compete with the best physicians of this country. There is no doubt of his election and we are told that the Democrats will give him their support which with his own party will in all probability make his majority large. Dr. Brown is a man of family, and very recently was blessed with the arrival of a baby girl, Marie Artoria. LEAVENWORTH POLITICS. R. G. McFarland, the popular clerk of the city court of Leavenworth has given entire satisfaction to the people and knows how to manage that office. Leavenworth is one of the closest counties in this state, and it is very hard to tell who is going to be elected sheriff. The Republicans and Democrats have off years, and do not follow the dictates of the party, but the Democrats have nominated for their standard-bearer for sheriff, Hon. Stance Myers. He is a candidate for re-election and is now serving his first term in this office. He served four years as under sheriff, and so well did he perform the duties of the office, that the voters irrespective of party elected him to the office he now holds. Mr. Myers was born in Leavenworth county in 1863 and was educated in the public schools of Leavenworth, and was circulator for the Leavenworth Times a number of years. He is a self-made man, having earned his education and won his reputation by the sweat of his brow. He is a property owner and tax-payer and contributes to the burden of taxation of the county. Mr. Myers is popular in several secret organizations, being a Modern Woodman, A. O. U. W., and an Elk. His majority was 1700 two years ago—the largest ever given to any one candidate in that county. Hon. J. W. Corey, the popular county treasurer of Leavenworth county, has no opposition for the office and will be elected by one of the largest majorities ever given a candidate in this county. He is one of the most successful farmers and stockraisers in this section of the J. H. HON. J. W. COREY. state, and is a gentleman of honor and ability. Such a man as Mr. Corey is the kind the people of the county want for state treasurer, so they will roll up a handsome majority to show how well he stands with the people of the county. MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING! Gov. Bailey Starts a Fire in His Own House in Order to Escape Under the Smoke. TOM KELLY IS ALL RIGHT! The State Treasurer Can Account for Every Cent—His Bondsmen are Satisfied. Had Gov. Bailey used as much energy in trying to hold down the "machine" Legislature in the creation of useless offices and expenses to pay election promises and make a United States Senator and two United States Judges, as he is in trying to prove Tom Kelly a delaulter, he and all of us would feel better. The treasurer of this state has given a million dollar bond for the safe keeping of the state funds—one of these bondsmen being C. J. Devlin, a capitalist, a gentleman and a philanthropist. He says that he is confident that Kelly is straight and the state will never loose a dollar. Mr. Devlin thinks of and transacts more business in one day than all of the state officials do in a week, and mind, he has never had a law suit. He is not worrying about the treasurer being short, and why should a lot of howling Dervishes go about the street claiming that fourteen hundred dollars has laid out of the treasury for more than a year? Suppose it had, has anyone charged Tom Kelly with attempting to steal it? Rowett's trips don't prove anything and his examination of the state treasury does not show the state to be short one penny, and not until all of the descrepencies found by him has been traced down and money found missing for which no account can be given, then Mr. Kelly and his bondsmen will have to make good. What prompted the Governor to examine the treasurer's office? Was it because he knew something was radically wrong? No, but he was aware of the fact that he had been drawing money out of the contingent for groceries and washwomen, who by the way, has received more for washing than any women we ever heard of. The Governor drew his voucher for his salary ahead of time, and Honest Tom always honored them. Is this in accordance with that particular section of the statute, the Governor trying to make a defaulter out of Mr. Kelly? We thoroughly understand the Governor's nightmare; he is sore because he was not renominated for governor, and had he been, the people would not have heard of this treasury examination for it is an established rule that all political parties do not raise a scandal in their own party. The time to examine the treasury in all of its accounts is when the out going treasurer turns over the office to his successor. The treasury is operated like a bank or clearing house, it is not expected that the unpaid balance would be in the treasury all the time. The law requires the Governor, Secretary of State and Auditor to count the funds once a month—the money is always there. There is a big speculation in school bonds in this state and every fellow who has a pull tries to get on the inside, and if there is any profits or snaps, the friends of those in authority will naturally give it to them. This is the condition of the Commanche county deal. Had Gov. Bailey's friends made the $8,000 the Topeka State Journal would have been allied as the grave. The bonds are all right and the integrity of the people to pay them is all right. We who signed Mr. Kelly's bond are perfectly satisfied that the money will be accounted for when he goes out of office which will be after he has finished his second term. The people know the method that is used to put parties in power—co operation and individual. Put up the cash and when the men are once in office, they pay it back by legislation, appointments to office, etc. The Governor well knows that he owes his office to a set of men whom he had to favor and do their bidding after his election. We small fellows managed to get five and ten once in a while and were not to complain. Now let the fellows who Kelly won't let in on the treasury keep still, and see if he really means to steal. The money is there and he can account for it. NICK CHILES. It Was Our Mistake. Editor Topeka Plaindealer: You stated in your paper on the front page, under the head of "Conference Notes" that Rev. J. R. Ransom "made the largest presiding elder's report." If you mean that he made the largest report in the Fort Scott District your are correct, but if you mean that he made the largest presiding elder's report Kansas Annual Conference, then in they ou are wrong, and the state ment is not true. I hope that in justice to the Omaha District people and myself that you will correct the same. I give the districts below as reported to conference: Fort Scott District, Rev. J. R. Ramson, P. E. $760.35; Topeka District, Rev. J. W. Braxton, P. E., $738.35; Omaha District, George A. Griffith. P.'E., $852.30. At the hour of 2 p.m. according to appointment invited guests crowded the United States Legation which was most artistically decorated with flags, palm branches and the like. The city brass-band stood by which added considerable lightness and activity to the occasion. The day was fine. The sun displayed the granduer of its light willingly. This day marked the One Hundred and Twenty Fourth Birth Day of the independence of the United States of America. * Dr. Lyon, United States Minister Pesident and Consul General, being ill was unable to act his part and therefore deputised his Secretary, Mr. Ellis, to serve for him. Soon after the arrival of His Excellency President Barclay and his Lady, Mr. Ellis ask the guests to dinner. Every business was fixed, sumptuous was the feast. But Minister Lyon, being a man whose efforts are not easily silenced, was present with his lady. All filed and fragments still many large basket tulls, "The praise of Bacchus, then, the sweet musicians sung, of Bacchus ever fair, and ever young. Rich in treasure, sweet in pleasure, sweet is pleasure after pain." The verandas and parlor were occupied. Hilarity reigned supreme. But the Doctor lay quiet. His Excellency President Barclay, Ex-President Coleman, Secretaries of Treasury and Interior, Judges of Courts and Foreign representatives were asked to the Doctor room, where the following toasts were proposed:— Mr. Ellis, after expressing regret that the Minister's illness had disabled him to that extent that he could not speak for his government informed them that he had been requested to speak for him. He then made a few remarks concerning the lively friendship which exists between the government of the Republic of Liberia and that of the United States, asked that the gentlemen drink heartily with him the health of President Barclay. President Barclay then made a brief scholarly speech in which he gave many reasons why the happy friendship which has and now so easily exist between the two governments and said that he hopes no circumstances will ever arise to disturb the reciprocal feeling of friendly interest. He then proposed the health of President Roosevelt which was heartily drank. Mr. Ellis responded recounting in as brief a manner as possible the assailing features of the President's life. He spoke of his achievements in the police and civil services, military operations in the Spanish American war, and finally the success he is now making in the presidency of that great state. After this Secretary Ellis solicited association in drinking to the future prosperity of Liberia, To this toast ex president Coleman responded. He referred to what Liberia has done, expressing his firm conviction that the government of Liberia under the management of the wise and progressive President Barclay, will make leaps and bounds towards prosperity. After a few other complimentary remarks the happy company dispersed and celebration ended.—The Libera Recorder. Missouri Conference. The Missouri Annual Conference at Poplar Bluff last week handled a grand total of $3631. 60 for all purposes. Presiding Elder Snelson was treasurer of the Dollar Money fund and Disbursement Committee and handled all receipts and appropriations. The last dollar due on the Episcopal residence at 532 Washington Ave. Kansas City was ordered paid in full. Elder A. A. Gilbert is treasurer of this fund. Four were ordained Elders NUMBER 42. The Liberia Recorder Tells in its Own Peculiar Way of a Fourth of July Celebration in the Fatherland. Geo. Ellis, Formerly of Kansas Witnesses the Celebration. and seven deacons on last Sabbath by Bishop Grant assisted by Dr. Snelson, Rev. Buren, Rev. Barksdale, Dr. Vernon and Dr. Parks. It was an impressive ceremony. By a joint resolution introduced by Dr. Snelson, the entire Fifth Episcopal District, in every mission circuit and station will join in celebrating the semicentennial Jubilee of African Methodism in Missouri and all the west next June, when an attempt will be made to raise several thousand dollars for Western University and for the pioneers of the church. Bishop Grant appointed the following sub-committee to form pregram etc.: Dr. F. G, Snelson chair.; Dr, J. D. Barkesdale P. E.; Dr. W. T. Vernon, Western University; Rev. J. R Ransom, P. E.; Dr. H. B. Parks, Dr. J. Frank McDonald, Dr. Peck and Rev. C. R. Vaughan preached an able missionary and educational sermons. Dr. Roberts of St Paul Church of St Louis preached his farewell sermon and left for Chicago to take charge of Quinn Chapel. An appropriation of $300 was made to Western University and over $500 was paid to widows, missionaries, and superannuates of the Conference, which was a large increase over last year. The TOPEKA PLAINDEALER will get the printing of the minutes. Prof. Reynolds of Lincoln Institute. Jefferson City, read a matchless report on the Sunday Schools as did also Dr. Vernon of Western University on the state of the country. Bishop Grant simply surpassed himself in his ordination sermon Sunday morning. A dozen or more came forward and were enrolled as seekers. Presiding Elder Ransom of Kansas, made the "welkin ring" in a great effort Sunday afternoon and Dr. H. P. Parks poured our lightning at night. Five of the white ministers brought their greetings in well chosen sentiments. Memorial meeting in honor of Elder James Madison was participated in by Elders Stewart, Watson and Barkesdale. Peace to the memory of this grand old veteran. A surprise of the Conference was the marraige of Rev. P. S. Cheatham and Sister Lula Thomas, conference Evangelist Monday morning. Bishop Grant tied the nuptial knot tight. Another preacher fainted at losing the hand of the fair lady. Appointments in part are: Presiding Elders, Rev. J. D. Barkesdale, St Louis District; Dr. F. G. Snelson, Kansas City District; Rev. N. C. Buren, Cape Giradeau District. Allen Chapel. Dr. Peck; Ebenezen, Dr. J. Frank McDonald; St John Rev. E R. Vaughn; Ward's Mission, Kansas City, Rev. Wm. Hawkins; Independence, J. H. Allen; Westport, J. T. Smith; Booneville, W. H. Spurlock; Higginsville, J. T. Sage; St James Church, W. C. William; Poplar Bluff, C. N. Douglass; Cape Giradeau John Williams; Joplin, S. S. Ritchter; Sedalia, Wm Alexander; Pleasant Hill; B. W. Stewart; Springfield, M. Collins; Carthage, W. B. Long; Ashgrove, Henry Mitchell, Malta Bend, J. B. Wallace. On returning home Dr Snelson delivered a splendid address before the student body at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City. Shawnce County Politics. Captain H. M. Phillips, chairman of the County Central committee, is making great efforts to increase the republican majority over that of 1900. He is well versed in politics and knows the situation in the state as well as the county. The captain knows how to reach the voters and his equal is not to be found in getting them to the polls. The Republicans can well be proud of the county ticket and especially of H. H. Keith, the popular physician, surgeon and operator of Keith's hospital, one of the best in the state. The doctor is one or the best in the West, and on account of his popularity was nominated by the Republicans at their last primaries for coroner. He will lead the county ticket no doubt, as he has friends in the Democratic party who will support him, as well as those in his own par PETER H. ty. At the recent meeting of the Republican league which met in Indianapolis, the doctor was elected as a member of the Executive committee, and that committee will have the appoinitive power of the next place of meeting. He will do what he can to bring the league, which meets in 19c6, to Topeka. This is a high recognition for the doctor, and THE PLAINDEALER is proud that he was fortunate to get this place, as he is one of our strongest physicians and surgeons and will no doubt add strength to the committee. Another candidate who is popular with the people, and one of the largest contractors and business men in the state, is Hon. J. B. Betts, who has served his county twice in the legislature, and has now been nominated for the senate. The people of this county can well be proud of him for the reason that he is interested in the upbuilding of the state as well as the county. Mr. Betts is one of the most successful politicians we know and he has never met defeat. His friends are innumerable and we have our first time to hear of any opposition to him. He is a resident of North Topeka and has been for years. He did much to alleviate the suffering of the people who were in the recent flooded districts of this city. He owns one of the most handsome residences in Topeka, and still clings to the North Side, and he and his estimable wife will do what they can to bring that side up to where it was some years ago. Mr. Betts is a large taxpayer and can be relied upon to look after the interests of the tax payers. All Republicans should be on the alert and register in time, as there are some machine fellows who are trying to defeat Hon. Charles Curtis, candidate for congressman. We want him in congress and must elect him by a large majority. Let's do it. We understand that there is some slush money which has been sent in to defeat Mr. Curtis by purchasing votes. Have nothing to do with this, but stand shy and support the straight Republican ticket. Mr. Stubbs is not to be led off by various accusations made by the Topeka Journal. He knows the turns of the party and the candidates and will have nothing to do with wrong, and it he sees anything going wrong he will be quick to say so. The machine fellows cannot play with him, as he stands for nothing but square work. He has fulfilled his promises and will see that the party marches to victory. F.C. Bowen, candidate for reelection to the office of county treasurer, is filling that office creditably, and can give account of every cent of the county's money at any hour of the day or night, and will be elected by an overwhelming majority. No one can be found who is better informed on the financial condition and the situation of the property of Shawnee county. The Republicans of Leavenworth county have decided to elect their candidate for county attorney at the coming election, and have nominated Hon. Lee Bond to fill the position. There seems to be no doubt as to his election, as he is well thought of by both parties and the people of the county admire his ability as a lawyer. He was born and reared in the city of Leavenworth, and has practiced law for years in this city. He stands first class with the colored people of the county and they can be relied upon to give him their entire support. Unlike his opponent, Mr. Bond is a man of family, and the ladies say they will see that their husbands do not vote to keep a bachelor in office when there are so many good women from among whom he might select a wife, thereby adding dignity to the office. Mr. Bond has practiced law with the firm of Awood & Hooper for years, and the people of Leavenworth say they will not be surprised if he is elected by a majority of one thousand. The days of bachelors holding elective offices in Kansas are drawing to a close, and Mr. Bond's opponent will be one of this unfortunate class, and he is now serving his last term; for popularity does not extend to those who are too close to support a family. One of Leavenworth's popular young boys, D.J. Royan, who is candidate for re election for clerk of the district court, was born in this county, and knows every inch of the ground and every man living in the county. He is quite popular and always leads the ticket. The Democrats as well as the Republicans give him their undivided support. Mr. Royan is opposed this year by a young lad who is running merely for the sake of appearing on the ticket and not that he expects to win the office. Mr. Royan is a member of several secret organizations in the city. He is a staunch Republican and is usually delegate to all of the county and state conventions. His ability along party lines is never questioned, hence, the people are ever ready to depend upon his judgment to land the old ship safely into port. Mr. Royan has been confined in the hospital for the past year, and is just beginning to be able to resume the duties of his office. He is always glad to meet his friends. While he does not feel like assuming the usual jolly manner which he has been wont to use with his acquaintances, nevertheless he is trying to see his friends in order to let them know that he is a candidate for the office previously mentioned. Leavenworth can well be proud of the chairman of her county central committee, Hon. E. D. Lysle. Mr. Lysle is operating one of the largest flouring mills in Kansas. He is a thorough business man, and a diplomat in a full sense of the word. He is doing much to bring about good feeling among the Republicans of that county and will no doubt succeed DOUGLA8S COUNTY POLITICS. The people of Douglass county are becoming disgusted at the way politics have been manipulated herefore in the county, and they have now decided to change up. They claim that there is a certain class of Republicans who are machining things through to suit themselves and a selected few. The colored Republicans are becoming disgusted at the white Republicans who do not recognize them by appointing or giving them any political positions that will pay them a reasonable salary. The only thing they have is the turnkey at the county jail; or a junior ship at the county building. So they have decided that if the county offices are divided up there might be some showing for colored men at some future time. Hon. E. F. Woods, the democratic candidate for Sheriff of Douglass county, is an enterprising young man and from what we saw of him, we do not see but what he is as good as his Republican opponent. The only difference lies in their age and the name of the party in which they are affiliated, Mr. Woods was born in La Salle, Ill., in 1871, and came to Kansas twenty eight years ago. He was a farmer for years, and is now a M. H. succeedful stock raiser. He stands high with the people of the county, and is widely known on account of his upright business dealings with the public, regardless of party, color or stanling. He is a member of the Modern Wooden en and the Red Men. He is a property owner and taxpayer. The people of Douglass county this year will lay aside parties and vote for what they think their interest J. R. Woodward, the Republican nominee for sheriff of Douglass county, was born in Illinois. He came to Kansas in 1856 and settled in this county. He is a successful farmer and stockraiser, and if elected to the office of sheriff can be relied upon to do his duty. Another man on the Prohibition ticket for probate judge is the Hon. John F. Weaver, who has lived in Douglas county for thirty-nine years. He was at one time one of the leading farmers and stock-raisers in that county, his farm and stock being valued, at $150,000 previous to the flood. The flood, however, destroyed most of this valuable farm and he was compelled to dispose of it for $10,000 in order to meet obligations which he had made prior to the flood. This embarrassed him financially, but he remained undaunted and, true to the energy instilled within him, continued to struggle along to make support for himself and family, and now he is gradually rising again. His opponent for this office is running for the third term, which seems rather hoggish and we think the people should rise up in their might and all with one accord say two terms are enough for one man, especially when a man like Mr. Wever is in question; one who has done so much to upbuild his county during the past thirty-nine years, and is now seeking a position within the gift of the people. ```markdown ``` (Copyrighted.)

He says that it will only take a change of ten votes in each voting precinct in the state to defeat the Republican candidates and urges the millers to roll up that number of changes in their respective localities. He made such a demand upon ex-Lieutenant Governor D. W. Finney, who runs a mill at Neosho Falls. It was turned down flat. In reply Governor Finney, one of the best known business men of the state, wrote: Neosho Falls, Kansas, Oct 11, 1904 Mr. H. L. Reising. Secy. Kansas Federation Commercial Interests, I am in receipt of your circular letter of the 6th inst., and have carefully read the name. I can assure you that any legitimate effort to secure the passage of amendments to our present railroad law, making it more effective in correcting the abuses complained of will meet my hearty approval and command my most earnest support. In the printed card enclosed with your letter you state that you are in favor or the non-partisan movement to elect J. W. Robison (Republican), W. E. Ferguson, (Democrat), and D. H. Chase, (Populist), as members of the board of railroad commissioners, but you fail to give any reason why these gentlemen are any more worthy of support than Mr. Walker or Mr. Wheatley, both of whom are candidates and were nominated on the same ballot with Mr. Robison. I know Mr. Robison, whom you recommend and believe he would make an excellent railroad commissioner. As to the other two gentlemen you name I know nothing personally, but their selection by a convention dominated by the most influential railroad attorney. In the state is calculated to raise a suspicion that if elected they will very weak champions of the interests of the masses when it comes to an issue between the shippers and the railroads. As these two gentlemen were nominated by regular political conventions, I fall to see why you should call them "non-partisan." I am personally acquainted with Mr. Wheatley and Mr. Walker and we believe them both gentlemen of good judgment and that they would deal fairly with every phase of the transportation problem which may be presented for their consideration. The writer had the honor of serving on the board with Mr. Walker and knows whereof he speaks when he says that his sympathies are with the people and that in all cases brought before the board the complaints or shippers have received as careful consideration and as just a decision from Mr. Walker as any impartial board could render. I notice that Mr. Robison, whom the Federation recommends as a member of the board, also bears witness to Mr. Walker's efficiency and impartiality. I would be obliged to you, Mr. Reising, if you would cite me to a single ruling or decision of the board that has not been given the consideration it deserved, or has the board ever rendered a decision unfavorable to any of your members that you would reverse if you had the power? Is it not a fact that you are blaming the board for its failure to accomplish the impossible? While limited in its powers to the state, are you not blaming it for not correcting abuses of Interstate Commerce, over which it has no jurisdiction? It looks as though the Federation was being worked by parties who have an ax to grind and who desire Mr. Walker's defeat for revenge and not for the good of the people. I believe that the party led by Roosevelt and Hoch have nominated men for railroad commissioners who will be better champions of the cause of the people than the so-called non-partisan candidates, for whose action no party can be held responsible. Therefore you need not count me as one of the ten voters in this township on whom you can rely to defeat as good, honorable and efficient men as have been nominated by either party for any position on either ticket. That is the Only Question Republicans are Now Considering. The campaign has already progressed to the point where politicians who believe that they understand conflations are predicting the size of majorities. Of course, the Democrats are laying nothing about their probable Boehring Muster Playing majorities. They are not expected to have any and Col. "Bill" Sapp is too shrewd a politician to risk his reputation making estimates which he knows the results will not justify by several thousand votes. Early in the campaign, Chairman Stubbs of the Republican committee said that President Rosevelt would carry Kansas by a majority of 60,000 votes. He has never decreased the size of this majority and it is probable that he will increase it nearly forty thousand before election day. Every political straw indicates a large Republican majority. Judge Dale does not hope to be elected. He did believe there was a chance for him shortly after he was nominated, but his close friends now say he realizes that he cannot hope to defeat the Republicans. He has given up the hope he had early in the fight and is staying in the race to sacrifice himself and be of any assistance he can to his friends who are running for county offices and for membership in the legislature in various parts of the state. The Democrats declared at the beginning of the campaign that they would elect a majority of the members of the legislature. They no longer make such froilish declarations and were it not for the chance they have of electing a few members of both houses they would retire from the field and acknowledge themselves beaten. It is believed now by conservative Republicans that the next legislature will be nearer uniformly Republican than any legislature which has met in the state for years. Some Republicans concede that there may be five Democrats elected to the senate. There may be four times this number of Democrats and Populists in the house of representatives. The poll of the state which has been ordered by the Republican committee and which is nearly completed shows that no more than this number have a fighting chance. The candidates for office on the Republican state ticket will be elected by majorities slightly less than President Roosevelt's. This is accounted for from the fact that the fusionists have only one state ticket in the field and two electoral tickets. It is generally believed now that the majority of the state ticket over the Democrat and Populist ticket will be in the neighborhood of 50,000 votes. The Democrats will waste no time and have no money to use in trying to keep majorities below that figure this year. Democratic Fight on Him on that Line Fallen Flat. The Democratic campaign managers have found that the people of Kansas are very well satisfied with E. W. Hoch's stand on the prohibitory law. The Democratic fight on him on that question has fallen on flat. Hoch's position is unassailable. This is what he said in his keynote speech on the subject: "Our wily opponents are trying to make cheap capital out of the prohibition question. In anti-prohibition centers I am characterized as a crank on the subject; in temperance localities I am charged with renouncing my lifetime views—all this to weaken the Republican ticket and strengthen their own feeble cause. Now, I am not and never was a fanatic on this or any other subject, nor have I or will I renounce my lifetime views. Prohibit or long since passed into the domain of constitutional and statutory law. Neither party mentioned it in their platform, the Democrats even omitting mention of it for the first time in twenty years. This law, like all other laws, is committed to definite authorities for enforcement. Since the republic of the metropolitan police law, which required the governor to appoint the police commissioners in cities of the first class, the cases are rare and extraordinary when it becomes the duty of the governor or within the scope of his power to act. If, however, I am called upon to take the oath of this exalted office, I shall not take it with perjury on my lips or in my heart, and I can not believe that my opponent, who harwn the judicial ermine, insignia of law, and who, if elected, would be required to take the same oath, would take it in any other spirit or for any other purpose than I have above expressed." SHOULD VOTE STRAIGHT. Smecca Tribute Tells Why Republic cans Should Mark in Circle. The Seneca Tribune, Governor Bailey's home paper, prints a particularly strong editorial giving reasons why Republicans should vote their ticket straight this year. Editor Jordan is writing for Nemaha county readers, but what he says applies to nearly every county. The editorial follows: "The Democrats who do not dare to cheer for their national ticket or say who they are going to vote for this year, are making a special fight for a few men on the local ticket. They admit that there is a Republican majority against them in the county Locations in Kansas Wanted.

Scales, from the trustee board by Thomas Nepper, show the onward march of this Christian band under the faithful and devoted leadership of Rev. D. B. Jackson. The new church being erected at 5th and Oakland shows the strength, unity and zeal, and the self sacrifice of the workers of the Rose Hill Baptist Church. THE PLAINDEALER congratulates them upon such a remarkable showing and wishes them many a pleasant repetition of the occasion. Rev.

Cook, has made one of the best Register of Deeds that the county ever had. He has rightfully been renominated and should be re-elected by an increased majority. Mr. Cook, despite anything that may be said to the contrary, is a friend to our people and there is no reason or cause why he should not get the solid vote of his party. We knew that he is a supporter of enterprises conducted by our people and no one would wish to meet a fairer man; the efforts of no one who circulates a campaign story to injure politically, cannot count against him. The leading colored citizens of the county are supporting him and the many readers of THE PLAIN-DEALER will make no mistake in their continued support of this splendid young man. CHANUTE ITEMS.

I hope to see the time when our people will learn the good of a band. Every town or city that has a band shows industry for its citizens. J. B.
