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. NUMBER 43. PICTURES DANGER OF DEMOCRATIC CULE. William T. Vernon, colored, president of the Western University, Quindaro, Kans., addressed a large audience of white and colored Republicans and Democrats in Mexico, Mo. tonight. The speaker, who was loudly cheered throughout his speech, said: "We are nearly all laborers, and, as honest toielers, should stand for that party which gives us opportunity to work. As to imperialism, and the right and just policy toward the Filipinos, we can more easily entrust the future of the race to a party, which, under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt and his supporters, is being fitted for citizenship and future prosperity as rapidly as it is possible for human intelligence to do; a President and party familiar with the conditions obtaining across the sea; a party which has done the right by the oppressed darker races in all the years of the past-I repeat, it is better to leave this task to the Republican party, than to hand it over to a presidential candidate whose latest utterance as to actual cost of millions and men, in our efforts over there, betrays a lack of knowledge of the same, which the diligent schoolboy would not exhibit, whose politics, as outlined, are vague, shambling, meaningless, and whose party has not shown an overly zealous disposition to guard the rights and preserve the liberties of the darker race at home--a race which, by association, by sacrifice, fidelity and achievement, should at least concern all parties as much as the "brown brother across the sea." We want a Congress with President Roosevelt, a Congress that will stand for equal and exact justice to all men regardless of race, or condition. We have no quarrel with Democrats as individuals, but unfortunately for them and sad, sad, indeed, for my race, the dominant influence of this party is the Southern ring, where lashings, scourgings, wholesale disfranchisement and degradation of the Negro are cardinal principles."—St. Louis Globe Democrat. Prof. W. T. Vernon of the Western University, Qnindaro, is in great demand by the Republican organizations of this country for speeches. He was in Chilicothe, Mo. last week where he everlastingly made an impression for the race as well as for the party. Over half of his audience were white people. The National Committee did wise in placing him on the stump. He will be in Chicago some time this week and we know that great city of the lake will be partially on fire. When in Chanute and want a first-class place to stop, call on W.W. FIELDS. he has had threetimes the work of his predecessors he has held the expense of his department to a minimum. Mr. Richardson has earned a re-election and no doubt is entertained along these lines. He is a friend to our people notwithstanding the talk which has been circulated against him on account of no colored men serving on the jury. The sheriff has about as much to do in drawing a jury as any of our readers. These reports will have no effect for no one should hesitate to vote against Price the Democratic nominee as we have never heard of anything he ever did to help out and upbuild our people and Mr. Rich andson has been a staunch friend of the PRIMOLEATE. B. E. Clifford, the present county attorney, is a candidate for the second term and there is no doubt of his reelection. Mr. Clifford has made a good record in that position. The Praxident has called attention to his splendid qualities in these columns before; to say more would be superfluous. He is the Republican nominee and should receive the solid support of his party. M. P. Sickly is the Republican nominee for county treasurer. He resides near La Harpe and is all right. He deserves and will have a splendid majority. In fact Allen county has an exceptionally strong ticket which should receive the solid support of our people. C. E. Adams for clerk of the court, L. R. Stover for surveyer, Dr. D. W. Reed for coroner Miss Olive Knowlton for county, superintendent, J. B. Smith for probate judge, R. M. Cunningham for register of deeds and T. J. Anderson for county commissioner are all stalwart Republicans whom our people should stand by and support. J. W. Kelso, the present efficient county clerk is a candidate for the second term. There is no man in Allen county who has a more friendly feeling toward our people than Mr. Kelso. He has shown in many ways his interest in the progress of our people and as a faithful servant of the public for two years in this important office he has merited his re-nomination and election and will receive at the hands of our people a hearty and unanimous support. EMPORIA POLITICS 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 born in Butler County, Ohio, and came to Kansas twenty years ago. In the year 1377 he entered the practice of law in Camden, Tenn. He also practiced law in Kentucky. Mr. Evans is a distinguished jurist and stands high in the legal profession. He held the position for four years as justice of the peace in Emporia and has practiced law for twenty years in that county. He is a taxpayer, a church member. (being one of the pillars of the Presbyterian Church) and is fraternized with several secret organizations; is also a member of the Business Men's Association. Mr. Evans is always active in pushing the interest of Emporia to the front. He is a man of a family, having a wife and six children, and they are among the best families of Lyon county. He is a selfmade man having been reared on the farm and made his way through school by hard labor. This gentleman holds the degree of Master of Arts and has been identified for years with the educators of it is country. We consulted several of the voters of that county and they seem to be of one opinion, that is, "that Mr. Evans majority over his Democratic opponent, will be from seven hundred to one thousand." He is a man who is honest and npright and runs his office in a straight forward business like mauner. He treats every body alike when it comes to administering the business of the office irrespective of parties or condition. The colored people of Lyon County will vote for him for they know him to be a man who is square with all mankind. 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. 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 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. 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 raised 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 Atwood & 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 happens to 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. J. D. Lysie. Mr. Lysie 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 Legislatures on that county and will no doubt succeed DOUGLASS COUNTY POLITICS. The people or Douglass county are becoming disgusted at the way politics have been manipulated here tolore 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 it 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 successful 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 standing. He is a member of the Modern Woodmen 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. Another man on the Prohibition ticket for probate judge is the Hon. John F. Weaver, who has lived in Douglass 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 daunted and, true to the enegy 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.

Frek Gliem, candidate for register of deeds, is now serving his first term, and the Republicans have re-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. 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 sallwart 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 present, 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 Castle, Iud. 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 on some honor to be recognized by the party 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.

Fisher returned Wednesday from a campaign tour of Southern Kansas, where he has been making it warm for the Democrats. Mr. Fisher is one of the most logical and convincing speakers in the state, and the success of the Republican ticket this fall can largely be attributed to his strenuous fight for Roosevelt, Hoch and justice to all men. Hon. W. T. Vernon was in Topeka Wednesday en route to Southern Kansas, where he is billed to deliver a speech. Mr. Vernon is speaking under the direction of the Republican national committee, and is one of the most widely quoted campaigners on the stump. His speeches are strong, convincing and bear fruit wherever he goes. The Athenian Art club met with Mrs. Joseph Walker, 1210 West Norris street Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 25. While we esteem it an honor to be clothed with authority to represent and speak for a man with the scholarly attainments of Captain A. J. Sansoni, Republican candidate for County Clerk of Leavenworth county, we keenly regret that he, by reason of the position which he holds at the Soldiers' Home and the serious illness of his company sergeant, cannot tution which gives permanent employment to more than 700 men and women and pays out more money to its officials, members, contractors and employees than all of the manufacturing industries in Leavenworth county. This institution during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, received through the banks of Leavenworth city a fraction over one million one hundred and three thousand dollars, every cent of which was paid out to its officers, members, employees and to contractors for salaries, pensions, wages, building, plumbing and paving material, groceries, provisions, drugs, clothing, water, fuel and other supplies. An amount in the aggregate equal to a monthly pay roll of $92,000.00, a weekly expenditure of $23,000.00 or more than $3,000.00 a day placed in actual circulation in all the varied industries of Leavenworth and surrounding country, by reason of the Soldiers' Home being located in that county, an institution which during the nineteen years of its existence, has poured in the lap of Leavenworth and its adjoining counties the sum of $15,643,558.00. And yet the veterans and officers of the Home who have been for years pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into the various industries of Leavenworth and surrounding country, have never been 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 Democratic friends are howling "Down with the veterans and Dagoes." But listen, while we explain who this Dago is. He was born in Leghorn, Italy, and at the age of five years at the request of his uncle, Anthony J. Sansoni, Bishop of Tuscany, was placed in a private school by his father, and at the age of thirteen he was comparatively master of the Latin, French, English and Italian languages. At the age of fourteen he spent his school vacation with his uncle, Dominic Sansoni, who was an officer on board of an American man-of-war, the Corvette Mississippi. It was while on this ship that he fell in love with the American flag and, returning home, plead so hard with his father and Uncle Anthony to allow him to go sea, that they consented, and in a few weeks made satisfactory arrangements with Captain Schofield, commanding one of the best American sea-going merchant vessels, to take him for a three years training in navigation. At the age of seventeen, Capt. Schofield secured him a situation as 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 he made a small fortune in mining operations. At the outbreak of the Civil War he was military instructor of the Marysville Rifles, of Marysville, Yuba county, California, the first company to offer its services to the governor of California to defend the Union. He is a member of the Pioneer Society of California and of the Loyal Legion, and at the close of the Civil War he returned to New Orleans and was for seven years, during the administration of President Grant, inspector, supervising inspector, government store-keeper and surveyor of customs at the port of New Orleans. Among his most intimate, personal and political friends of those days were such men as Judge Fields of the United States Supreme Court, Vice President Colafax, George C. Gorham, secretary of the U.S. Senate, Gov. Low of California, Gov. Packard and Gen. Longstreet of Louisiana, and scores of others of equal prominence. Capt. Sansoni has a wife and two daughters. He has made a point of money and spent it on his children and with his friends like a prince. His daughters are graduates of one of the best female seminaries in this country. They are both married. The oldest lives in New Orleans, the youngest in Dallas, Texas, while Capt. Sansoni has been a bona fide resident of Leavenworth for more than four years and lives on the corner of Fourth and Elm streets. Yes, Capt. Sansoni is an Italian with a record of which any man born beneath the folds of the American flag and rocked by the Goddess of Liberty in the cradle of Uncle Sam might well be proud. And we have faith in the patriotism and gratitude of the people of Leavenworth county to believe that Capt. Sansoni will not only receive the unqualified support of every Republican in the county, but that hundreds of loyal Democrats will vote for him and for every candidate on the Republican county ticket as an expression of their gratitude for the hundreds of thousands of dollars which the veterans of the Soldiers' Home contribute annually to the various industries of Leavenworth and surrounding country.

Lunch was served, and the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Thomas Cook, 900 Western avenue, Tuesday, November 1. Services at the First African Baptist church were well attended last Sunday. Rev. Duvall preached an instructive sermon from the text, "Let brotherly love continue." In the evening, after an inspiring C. E. meeting, led by Mrs. C. H. Duvall, the congregation listened to an able sermon by Rev. Skinner of Coffeyville. His text was "If the Lord be God, follow Him." The City Federation met in call meeting on last Friday afternoon at the Congregational church and was well attended. The Federation make a personal canvass of Leavenworth county, as he is making a personal canvass with his friends at the Soldiers' Home, urging the old boys who love the American eagle as they love the old flag, to go to their voting booths on November 8 and make a cross [X] in the little circle under the eagle and let her go. But we are assured by Leavenworth Republicans, who ought to know, that our Republican county, state and national ticket, from President Theodore Roosevelt down to township trustee, will be elected by a good round majority, and that Capt. Sansoni will be elected over his Democratic opponent by a majority of at least 600. Why not make it 2500, representing as he does the National Soldiers' Home, an insti- payment to more than 700 men and its officials, members, contractors structuring industries in Leavenworth fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, Leavenworth city a fraction over one milledollars, every cent of which was employees and to contractors for salabing and paving material, groceries, fuel and other supplies.

Gaitskill of Girard, Kans., one of the leading lawyers of Southeastern Kansas is making a winning campaign for the judgeship of the Sixth Judicial District composed of Crawford, Bourborn and Linn Counties. In the district there are 1700 colored voters and it is proper that they should become acquainted with the aspirants for the judgeship and vote for the best man. THE PLANDEALER scribe has been over the district and met the people. We personally met with both candidates and unhesitatingly claim that the interest of our people would be best subserved by electing to this position, B. S. Gaitskill. The colored people in his home county are unstinted in their praise of his friendly attitude toward our people and with pride recount his many friendly acts for our people. In many of the communities of the district, they are loyally supporting him for judge, and are anxious that the colored voters throughout the di-trict should know him as they do. We do not believe that one would get dizzy counting the friendly acts of the present judge of this district who is a candidate for re-election, although without their vote he could not be elected. This is a case of standing by and supporting our friends and we verily believe B. S. Gaitskill to be a friend of our people and deserving of their united support. SALINA NOTES Meyer's stock for sheriff is still looking up. The sentiment for him will not down and there is hardly any question of his election. Other wise the entire Republican ticket will be elected. The colored vote cannot do better than to stand by Meyers. B. S. G. W. HALL. One of the stunche and progressive Republicans of Salina is G. M. Hall, the popular treasurer of the county. He is a friend to our people and he will always find them in line for him for any position he may want. 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 judgeship all of those high ideals which go to make a fair and impartial judge. There is a 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. 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. IOLA NOTES. 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 o 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. WICHITA NOILS. Probate Judge E. E Knocks 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 every one 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 ties 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. Enoch, 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 unity even the ones who are fighting other portions of the ticket. LEAVENWORTH. 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 years ago—the largest ever given to any one candidate in that county.

Hon. B. P. Waggener B. P. Waggener seems to be getting good support in the race for State Senator. He is 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 much to place Atchison in the galaxy of prosperous cities. His policy is to do unto others as he would have them do unto him. We have watched him closely for years and we find no fault in him when it comes to the fair treatment of all alike before the law. Mr Waggener was born in Missouri and he delights in relating when the opportunity offers itself, that a colored man was his foreman when he worked on a farm, and that he was a splendid man under whom to work. So impressed has he been toward assisting colored people who want to help themselves that he gives employment to over twenty five in the quaries, on the street car line and around his house. When in the Legislature his policy 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 of B. P. Waggener and a many one he has made happy and put into office. He is the people's friend and you know where to find him. In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. JOHN A.

He despises the subtertues of the prosessional politician, and in all of his work his efforts have been in the interest of Crawford county and his constituency rather than for personal benefit. In fact, outside of the high honor he has received from not only his own constituency but throughout the entire state of Kansas, Scrator Porter has sacrificed rather than gained by his public career. Senator Porter has made Crawford county a most valuable representative in the state house. Crawford county has become better known than any other county in the state as a result of his tireless and energetic efforts and practical organization in legislative matters, and this is not better illustrated than by the remark of Senator Pestana, present Assistant Attorney General, on the floor of senate when he said "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 gentleman. He is a member of a number of the leading fraternal orders, and he is a presistent worker in the First Presbyterian church of Pittsburg, having been for years a trustee and deacon of the 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.
