The Unjust Fight AMONG THE AMONG THE CANDIDATES The Campaign is Warming up all Over the State. The Plaindealer Man Circulates Among the Candidates Out in the State and Feels the Public Pulse in Regard to Their Candidacy. Chairman J. H. Vance, of Winfield is conducting a winning campaign for the Republican ticket in Cowley county. He is fair and recognizes all classes. There is a better feeling in the county than for years and with such a man as Mr. Vance directing affairs, there is no question of a grand success.

Emporia's Popular Houseman on the Republican Elf Coming Y Emporia's Popular House-mover, and Politician. He is on the Republican Electoral Ticket, and a Coming Young Man. efficient county attorney is the Republican candidate for a second term. Mr. Brown has run this important position at a greatly reduced cost to the taxpayers than any of his predecessors, and has lost only one criminal case during his time of office, and has a record of sending twenty-three criminals to the pen and sixteen to the reformatory. He is a veteran of the Spanish-American war, and there is not a better friend to our people in the county than J. U. Brown. He will get the r united support. J. W. Hoolder, the genial sheriff of Reno county, is a Kentucky Republican and was once a neighbor of Hon. Ed. Hoch. He is well liked and will get the support which he deserves from all classes. W.Y. Morgan, the genial ex-state printer, and a staunch friend of our people is the candidate from this VOLUME VI. BLN COUNTY. district for Representative and will get the unanimous support of our people.

The Republicans of that district are moving Heaven and earth to elect him. STMER COUNTY. J. M. Linjufelter, of Summer county is the right man in the right place and deserves the high opinion in which he is held among all classes. He will receive a united support from our people. Dr. Mayhew, chairman of the Republican committee at Wellington will in time become competent to conduct a campaign as it should be. At present he is slightly antiquated. While in Wellington THE PLAYER writes dined as the guest of Miss Laura Brower, who is well known by Topkans, who will be glad to know she is succeeding, and 6 nover, and Politician. He is lectorial Ticket, and a Young Man. conducts one of the finest cafes in Kansas, her patrons are the 400 of Wellington. Judge Thos. R. Jones, the present efficient probate judge of Crawford County is all right, he is a candidate for the second term and is deserving of the united support of the colored voters. He has been a resident of the county twenty-seven years. came up from the common walks of life has always been friendly to our people and deserves re-election by an increased majority. The office of Register of Deeds of Crawford County is an important one and has been ably filled for the past two years by Jesse R. Carpenter, whose friendly attitude toward our people needs no comment. He has been a resident of the county for thirty-two years and they all know him. He also is worthy and SUMMER COUNTY. CRAWFORD COUNTY. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 28, 1904. will receive the hearty and unanimous support of our people for the second term. C. E. Woodbury of Pittsburg holds the important position of Clerk of the Court, and such are his methods of preserving the records of his office, that he has been frequently complimented on the concise manner in which his records are kept. Mr. Woodbury was born in Livingston County Illinois and came to Kansas in 1874. As a boy he herded cattle in Cherokee county. In 1891, he moved to Crawford County which has since been his home. He is a graduate of Kansas Normal, and College at Ft. Scott and is a man of excellent clerical ability. Mr. Woodbury is of pleasant address and always makes friends wherever he goes. He is a friend to the colored people and is always willing to assist in their progress and they will not fail to show their appreciation by giving him their loyal support on November 8th. The Republican candidate for Representative of the Twenty-third legislative district in Crawford county is J. W. Montee. He has been a resident of this county for thirty-years, coming here at the tender age of two years. He has grown up in this community and the people know his life like an open book. He is a successful business man of Girard, being a member of the firm of Montee Bios, one of the leading drug stores of that city. He has always and at all times been one of the staunch and tireless workers of that section for Republicanism, and the people know his worth and will give him a hearty support for this position which is the only office he has asked for at the hands of the voters of his county or district. He is a son of Mr. F. M. Montee, the old wheel horse among the Republicans of this section, who is the father of seven sons—six of whom are chips off the old block and are stalwart Republicans. He was elected county commissioner in 1895 overcoming a Demo-Pop majority of over 700. He was elected county treasurer of Crawford in 1899 overcoming a majority of 500, this shows the remarkable popularity of Mr. Montee senior and it is but fair to say that J. W. Montee enjoys the popularity of his father and will no doubt at all times give a good account of himself. Mr. Montee is a staunch friend of the colored people and despite the efforts that have been made, they will give him their loyal and united support. This is no year to vote for Democrats for the Legislature, it is just the same as voting for Tillman, and in all probabilities a U. S. Senator is to be elected by the coming Legislature and a vote for a Democratic Representative is an indirect vote for a Democratic U. S. Senator, thusearing down the very principles which we advocate. J. W. Montee is all right and true. Praise our wishes to emphatically endorse and admonish our people of the DANGER in supporting a Democrat for this position. We cannot conceive of a colored voter so far for getting himself as to do this, but we desire to emphasize along these lines that our many readers may know the danger of them. We have been on the scene in this district and know the conditions. Mr. J. W. Montee is all right toward our people and we should send him to the Legislature. Chairman W. E. Robinson, of the Republican county central committee, is working overtime with Secretary Gard and other members of the committee to roll up an increased majority for the ticket national, state and county on Nov. 8. They have been holding meetings throughout the county and on last Friday and Monday evenings held special meetings for the benefit of the colored voters. Friday evening the meeting which filled the opera house was addressed by J. B. Bass, of THE PLANDEVRE, and Dr. J. S. Bass, of Iola. Monday evening's meeting was addressed by W. W. Fisher of Topeka. The colored voters will no doubt give the Republican ticket their undivided support. The following is a short sketch of the nominees: T.J. Treadway stands for representative in this district. He is one of the stalwart Republicans of this county and will recieve a hearty support from all classes. H.A. Richardson, the popular sheriff of Allen county, is serving his first term and notwithstanding SHAWNEE COUNTY! A Glimpse of the Men Who Will Conduct the Affairs of the Best County in Kansas. They are all First-class Men and Sure to Receive Big Majorities. I. S. Curtis, the popular clerk of the District Court, is up for re-election. So well known is the old comrade in this county and state that he needs no introduction. There is no other man in Shawnee County that can begin to give the information of the court records as this man Curtis. He has been connected with this office for years. The lawyers would not think of letting go of him. The judge of the court clings to him. He can have the office for three or four terms if he likes and no body will object. A. T. Lucas, one of the best Sheriffs Shawnee county ever had, is candidate for re-election. It is remarkable what a bitter fight was made on him two years ago by the temperance people. No such fight was ever wedged against two Republicans as was Nichols and Lucas. So well has he conducted the office J. A. F. HECAS. of Sheriff and so disappointing to the temperance crowd who charged him with being the representative of the wet element, and so wrong were they in their opinion that they all are supporting Bert Lucas for sheriff. He has conquered two enemies with kindness. J. B. Marshall, Register of deeds is the nominee for re-election. He has made an efficient and accomodating officer and has done something unheard of in the annals of Kansas. He turned over to the county treasurer several hundred dollars that the I's said he was gifted to. He said was not his and refused to have it. We think he will have a third term because he is remarkable for Kansas. Uncle Dick Hayden, the Bachelor Probate Judge is up for Re-election with a distinct understanding that he must see his own marriage license within the next year. He is giving entire satisfaction to the public in the way and manner he is conducting the business of the office. He is popular. A. Newman, Shawnee's great business County clerk is up again, covered with smiles, for re-election and he has justly earned it. His services have been invaluable to Shawnee county for, through him, thousands of dollars, have been brought into the treasury. This was accomplished through his untiring efforts in ferreting out tax dodgers. Doctor got hold of the printers who had made exhorbitant charges and slayed things in that direction, until the tax payers of old Shawnee are beginning to feel like free people. Hon. Otis E. Hungate, the present county attorney is one of the best attorneys that ever served this county. He is well known to almost every person in the county and he will be re-elected by a large majority. 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. ST. JOSEPH, MO. Rev. Cohren was called to Lawrence last week to attend the funeral of Rev, Mark Thompson. Mrs. Susie Crews is confined to her bed. The dinner at A. M. E. Church last Thursday was a success. $16 was cleared, Mrs. H. H. Walker was elected president of the Jewel Art Club for the ensuing year. Mrs. Alice Parm of Kansas City visited Mrs. Gross last week. Mrs. Gross is critically ill. Her sister, Mrs. Belle Bennett of Topeka, is also with her. Mrs. Lettie Groves and son of Council Bluffs are visiting in the city, Fred Holsey will leave next week for Texas to spend the winter. The members of the school board visited the Domestic Science department of the colored school Friday and were very loud in their praises of the classes. The president expressed himself as being thoroughly convinced of the success of the department. Quite a number have joined the afternoon class for house wives. WICHITA, KANSAS. Ed Grayson of Hutchinson was a visitor in the city last week. Mrs. W. N. Miller has returned from a pleasant trip to St. Louis. Fred Andrews arrived in the city Friday from Salt Lake City, Utah to visit with relatives. The ladies of the G. L. A. Club met Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. J. F. Sandford. The time was spent very pleasantly. A delicious repast was served and highly enjoyed by those present. Mrs. Josie Hathman and little daughter Grace left Saturday for Kansas City. Mrs. Robt. Davis of Kingman, was in the city last week. Miss Grace Baker has recovered from her recent illness and is able to be out again. A grand ball was given at Odd Fellows hall Thursday evening. Mrs. Fannie Stewart who has been visiting in the city for several months returned to her home in Leadville, Colo., Friday. She was tendered a pleasant surprise party Wednesday at the home of mother, Mrs. M. Hodges, by the G. L. A. Club, which was a highly enjoyable affair. Miss Georgie Hutchison entertained the Sewing Circle of the Second Baptist Church, Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Yancy. Quarterly meeting was held at the A. M. E. Church last Sabbath and was a marked success. The church has started out in the new conference year under the leadership of their most capable and highly worthy pastor, H. W. King. Presiding Elder Griffith was in attendance. The collection taken was, excluding the quarterly contributions, $25. Misses Pansy Cox and Myrtle Fleming gave a birth-day party last week at the home of the former. They received many valuable presents among which was a gold watch for Miss Cox and a piano for Miss Fleming. Mrs. Ike Porter has returned from the World's Fair. Fred Andrews of Salt Lake City, Utah is visiting in the city. Mrs. Lee Anderson and Miss Maria Whilted returned from the World's Fair Saturday. They were accompanied by Joe Whilted of Chicago. One of Pittsburg's representative business men, and one of Crawford county's best known citizens is Senator E. F. Porter. Although he is best known throughout the state of Kansas as the dean of the Manual Training school system in Kansas schools, and as the "daddy" of the Pittsburg Manual Training Normal school, Senator Porter is prominently known in business circles as general secretary-treasurer of the Carey-Lombard Lumber company, one of the principal lumber concerns in the state, and as manager of the Pittsburg Lumber company. For the past four years Senator Porter has represented Crawford county in the state senate, and his service has been so eminently satisfactory to his constituency that he was recently renominated by acclamation by the Republican Senatorial convention, and he will be re-elected this fall by an overwhelming majority. Senator Porter is a native of Pennsylvania, having been born in New Salem, Fayette county, Pa., on July 14, 1859, When a mere child, with his parents he moved to Illinois, and later to Iowa. In Iowa he completed his common school education and High school work and took up active business, as being a poor lad it was necessary that he get out and hustle for himself. In 1835 he became a resident of Kansas, and he has ever since been an enthusiastic Kansan. He first located in the "short grass" district of Western Kansas, where he was engaged in the lumber business, and was actively identified with the growth and advancement of western Kansas. In 1890, recognizing the possibilities and opportunities of Pittsburg and Crawford county, he located in Pittsburg, and shortly after became connected with the Carey-Lombard THE NEW YORK TIMES J. B. SENATOR E. F. PORTER Lumber company's interests and has been so successful during his connection with this concern that he has finally become general secretary-treasurer of the company with general headquarters in Pittsburg, and in direct charge of the company's large interests in Kansas. He has been eminently successful in business because of his ability in mastering the intricate detail of business. Every detail is carefully look after and although he is in charge of extensive interest both in this state and in the south, yet it is certain that not the least detail escapes him. It has been this same care regarding the details of his work in the legislature which has made his career in the state senate most remarkable and successful and attracted the attention of the entire state to Crawford county and its able representative in the senate. His work in the legislature has been in the interest of his constituents at all times, whether it has Handsome Majority! F. PORTER The Diplomat, Scholar and Business Man of the Great Southwest Has Endeared Himself in the Hearts of the People. He Was the Leader of the 'Last Senate. been in the advancement of educational interests, or the securing of legislation in favor of the workingmen of this district and it can be said to the credit of Senator Porter that no man, rich or poor, has ever sought the senator's services in the legislature in vain. It has, however, been along the line of educational work that he become most prominent throughout the state. From the beginning of his public career Senator Porter has always been an enthusiastic worker in the advancement of educational interests. In his home city as a member of the Board of Education for years, he advanced a better system of education, and championed Manual Training until Pittsburg took up his idea and has today schools second to none in the west. In the legislature he championed Manuel Training, and advocated the installation of Manuel Training in the course of study in all the schools and state aid to install the same. His work resulted in the passage of the excellent state Manuel Training law and in the establishment of the State Manual Training Normal school for the instruction of teachers in Manual Training work, now located in his home city, Pittsburg. This institution secured, with the assistance of Crawford county, for this county is the first state institution to be located in this important industrial section. "One of my highest ambitions," 1 said Senator Porter; "is to place the common schools of Kansas second to no other state in the Union. With the very large percent of pupils deriving no other advantage than secured in the common schools we must have higher standards, broader practical institutions, fitting those who are unable to obtain higher education to handle the practical duties of life." "It is not the knowledge of books so much as the knowledge of how to do things and get results, that count," is Senator Porter's platform, and he is finding that he is not alone in this respect. Senator Porter is thoroughly in earnest in practical education and when a lad of thirteen spent his idle hours standing at the work bench, and with his father's tools, weaving his mechanical genius into scores of useful interesting, and profitable article during his odd moments.

EMPORIA rouitics. We were in Emporia last Saturday and find that politics are looming up in Lyons County. We met Judge E.N. Evans who is candidate for election for probate judge of that county. He was bora in Butler County, Ohio, and came to Kansas Imenty years ago. in the yeur 1377 he entered the practice of law in Camden, Tenn. He also practiced law in Kentucky. Mr. Evans is a distinguished jurist aud stands high in the legal proftssicn. He held the position fur four years as justice of the peace m Emporia and has prac- teed law for twenty years in that jeounty. Ie is tavpayer, a church [rrember.(being one of the | illars of the Presbyterian Church)and is fra? tern’zed with several secret organi- zatuuus; is also a member of the Be~ iness Men's Assvertion, Mr. Evans! is always active i pushing the interest of Emporia to the front. He isa man of a family, having a wife aud sia children, and they are among the best fanuhes of Lyon county. Ile isa selfmade max hay- ing becn reared on the farm and matte his way through school by hard labor. This gentleman holds the degree of Master of Arts and has becn identified for years with the educators of tris country. We consulted several of the voters| of that county and they seem to be|, of one opinicn, that is, “that Mr. Evans majority over his Democratic | opponent, will be from sevea hun-|] ired to one thousand.” He is al; nan who is honest and npright and |i uns his office in a straight forward | yusiness like mauner. He treats|s very body alike when it comes tol ministering the business of the ffice irrespective of parties or con- ition, fe The colored people of Lyon Coun-|° y will vote for him for they know|® im to be a man who is equare with | 1 mapkind, R LEAVENWORTH POLITICS, R. G. McFarland, the popula clerk of the city court of Leaven- worth has given entire satisfaction to the people and knows how to manage that office, : Hon. J. W. Corey, the popular county treasurer of Leavenworth the largest majorities ever given a|< candidate in this county. He is une|] of the most successfal farmers and! stockraisers in this section of the|’ state, andis a geutleman of honor]: and ability. Such a man as Mr.| Corey ia 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. ‘The Republicaus of Leavenworth county huve decided to elect their candidate for county atturney at the cuming election, aud have nomi- nated Hon, Lee Bond to fill the position. There seems to Le uo doubt as to his election, as he is well thought of by both parties and [the people of the county adtire his ability asa lanyer. He was bon aud cared in the city of Leaven- worth, and has. practiced law fur years in this city.

Unlike hs opponent, Mr. ond is a wan of family, and the ladies say they will sce that their husbands do not vote to kecp a bachelor in otfice when there are so many god women from among whom he might select a wite, thereby adding dignity to the office. Mr. Bond bus practiced law with the firm of Atwoud & Hooper Jor years, and the people of Leaven- worth say they will not be surprised if he is elected by a majority of one thousand. The days of bachelors holdinggelective offices in Kansas jare drawing to a close, and Mr. Bond’s opponent happens to be one Jof this unfortunate class, and he is now serving his last term; for popu- larity does not extend to those whd are too close to support a family. } One of Leavenworth’s popular J young boye, 2. J. Royan, who is can- didate for re-election fir clerk of the district court, was born in this county, aud knows every inch of the ground and every mau living in the |county. He is quite popular and always leads the ticket. ‘The Demo: crats as well as the Republicans give Jhim their undivided support.

While we esteem it an honor to be clothed with authority to repre- sent and speak fora man with the scholarly attainments of Captain A. J.

And yet the veterans and officers of the Home who lave been for years pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the various industries of Leavenworth and surrounding country, have never Decn offered an office or given a place on the county ticket in that county until the last Republican county convention, which gave Capt. Sansoni the nomination for County Clerk by acclamation, And now our Demo- cratic friends are howling “Down with the veterans and Dagoes.” But listen, while we eaplain who thiy Dago is. He way born in Leghorn, Tully, and at the age of five years at the request of bis uncle, Anthony J.

At the age of seventeen, Capt. Schofield secured him a eit- ation ay court interpreter at New Orleans where he resumed his studies and taught languages for three years, when he was taken with an acute attack of gold fever, and went to California, where be made a small fortune in mining operations, at the outbreak of the Civil War he was military instructor of the Marysville Rities, of Marysville, Yuba county, California, the tirst com- [rang to offer its services to the governor of California to defend the [Union Me isa member of the Pioneer Society of California and of the Loyal Legion, and at the clove of the Civil War he returned ty New Orleans and was for seven years, during the administration of President Grant, inspector, supervising inspector, yoverument storekeeper and surveyor of etstoms at the port of New Orleans.

Hon. B. P. Waggener B. P, Wagyener seems to be get- ting good support in the race for State Senator. He jis a candidate from the Second senatorial district comprising Atchison and Jackson counties. Mr, Waggener is the general attorney for the Missouri Pacific and is a highly respected citizen, statesman, lawyer, politician and business man of Atchison. He is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific and has done wach to place Atchison in the galaxy of prosperous cities. His policy is to do unto others as he woulkl have them do unto him. We have watched him clzeely for years and we find no fault in him when it comes to the fair treatment of all alike before the Jaw. Mr Wageener was born in Missouri and he dehghts in relating when the opportunity elfers itself, that a colored man was his foreman when he worked on a farm, and that he nasa splendid man under whom to sork, So impresed has he been toward assisting colored people who waut to help themcelves that he sives employment to over twenty fivetn the quaries, on the street car line and around kis house. When in the Legislature his peltey was against class legislation. He is a cosmopolitan in his ideas and is always ready to hear both sides of any important question. Mr. Waggener was chairman of the) judiciary committee of the house at. the last session of the Legislature and the house was Republican. Every. Republican in Kansas respects the’ judgment ot BP.

He despises the subtertuges of the Prosessinnal politician, and in all of his work his efforts have been in the interest of Crawtord county and his constituency rather than for per- sonal benefit In fact, outside of the high honor he has received from not only his own constituency but througnout the entire state of Kan- sas, Sevator Porter bas sacrificed rather than gained by his public ca reer. Senator Porter has made Craw- ford county a most valuable repre- |Seutative in the state house. Craw- ford county has become better known than any other county in the state asa result of his tireless and energetic efforts and practical organ- iation in legislative matters, and this is not better illustrated than iby the remark of Senator Pestana, ‘present Assistant Attorney General, en the floor of senate when he ssid “Now that Crawford county has got all it wants, I move that the Senate adjourn sine die.” Personally and socially Senator Porter is a most pleasant gentieman, Hes a member of a number ofthe leading fraternal orders, and he is a] presistent worker in the First Pres- byterian church of Pittsburg, having been for years a trustee and deacon ofthe church. Senator Porter is very firm in his opinion that the farm is the place for boys, and is giving his two sons the opportunity of employing every available hour and vacations to the care and attention of his farm near the city.
