THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER The Coffeyville Gas Co., Deserves the Support of Everybody in Their Effort to Lower the Gas Rate THE GAS QUESTION AT COFFEYVILLE! THE GAS QUESTION AT COFFEYVILLE! With the Adoption of the Meter System, the People Will Save Money on Fuel and Light----Everybody Should Boost for it. 金 VOLUME XII. The Coffeyville Gas THE GAS QUEST With the Adoption of the Will Save Money on F body Should By Manager Adoption. During the past few years Coffeyville has made more real good, substantial progress than any city in the state and no institution within her borders has contributed more to bring about this growth and business activity than the Coffeyville Gas & Fuel company. Natural gas is one of the greatest blessings ever bestowed upon the poor people of any community, and here in Coffeyville the company has looked well to the poor man's interest by keeping the price where he could use it without a strain—in fact the price has been so modest that he has saved dollars on his fuel bill during the year The Coffeyville Gas and Fuel company proposes to go further in the way of saving money for those who toil by inaugurating the meter system. This is the only way to secure a cheaper rate without a loss to the company which would impare the splendid service now enjoyed and work a hardship on the consumers. In every city where the meter system has been adopted it would be impossible to get the people to stand for a change. With the meter system you do not pay for the other fellow's gas but for the amount actually used and in some cases out of ten one finds that they have been paying for from fifty cents to one dollar's worth more gas than was actually used. This fact can be substantiated by any person residing in a city where meters are in use. In adopting this system gas companies always find the usual number of cranks who oppose it and in no case have they ever been able to produce facts or a sensible argument to show why it is not a good thing and a big saving to the consumers. This class of people are a hindrance to the growth and business activity of any community and the live, wide-awake, progressive citizen should surely join hands with such laudable enterprises as the gas company and assist in cruising the life out of such howlers. They are of no service to themselves and less to the community in which they dwell. The sole object of the Coffeyville Gas and Fuel company is to please the public and with a manager like Mr. William Shepard time nor money will not be spared in trying to do so. The company is fair and reasonable in all of its transactions and only asks that they be given a square deal at hands of those for whom they have invested thousands of dollars in an effort to make them --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1910. comfortable. The men at the head of the company have the city's interest at heart and are straining every effort to build up a bigger and better Coffeyville and their high personal standing has gained the confidence of the people to such an extent that they are willing to trust all future action to the sturdy busipilots of the gas company. Manager Shepard is a man whose word is as good as gold and through his splendid executive ability he has given to the people all the money saving advantages possible and at the same time figuring out a reasonable profit on the company's large outlay of cash He is unassuming, easy to approach and a staunch friend of labor. Mr. Shepard has never been too busy to lend a helping hand to the colored people and any enterprise that has their uplift at heart finds in him an enthusiastic supporter. Many of our people do not quite understand the meter system and we advise them to call at the gas office and have a talk with Manager Shepard. You will find him courteous, obliging and ready to explain every detail to your complete satisfaction and if you haven't the required deposit, Mr. Shepard will make arrangements for same that will prove satisfactory to both you and the company. The gas question is one that should be given careful consideration before criticising any action of the company. The great trouble is that the people don't understand the meter system which not only preserves the gas but is cheaper To illustrate, take the gas question at Kansas City and Topeka. Both places have the meter system and are more than two hundred miles from the wells, yet they are getting cheaper gas than the people of Coffeyville. This goes to prove that under the meter system and the excellent management of the Coffeyville Gas and Fuel company we will have cheaper gas. TOM CORDRY AND OTHER CANDIDATES Manager Griffin, who is making the rounds of the state has had much to say on the political situation and in sizing up matters oft times sees things differently from the editor of this paper and in justice to both he and the many good men who want to serve the people. we take great pleasure in presenting his views to the voters for their most careful consideration. Writing from Parsons he says: *It is but fair that the next state* printer be selected from this section of Kansas and the plum should and will rightfully go to Tom Cordry, whose gallant service to the Republican party should be recognized in a substantial way. "Tom Codry is the son of an old soldier who served over three years in the Civil War as a private. His mother is an Indiana woman, and they now live in Washington county. Mr. Cordry's mother has long been known for her work among the colored people, and comes from a family of well known abolitionists of Indiana who were prominently connected with the under-ground railway during the days preceding the Civil War. Coming as he does from a long line of loyal, patriotic ancestry, Mr. Cordry's heart is in the right and he is always ready and willing at any and all times to contribute time and money to aid a cause that will throw open the door of hope and aid the black race in their struggle for a foot-hold in this land of racial strife and oppression. None can better testify to this magnificent qualification than the colored people of this section and they are showing their appreciation by actively supporting him. "Mr. Cordry is editor of the Parsons Sun and has been a Republican all of his life, and for twenty-five years has been one of the most active editors and campaigners in the state. He is a practical printer, competent in every way to perform the duties of the office, and he will give the state a dollar's worth of work for a dollar's pay. He has always done that for every employer for whom he has worked and he will do it when the state of Kansas employs him as its public printer. He came to Kansas thirty-five years ago, and has spent his life in Kansas, and has been prominent in every movement for the building up of the state. Mr. Cordry's nomination as state printer will strengthen the state ticket, giving to it a candidate who is not only qualified for the office, but a candidate who will go out into the campaign after the primaries and add strength to the ticket and make votes for the entire ticket. He is acquainted in every county in the state and he promises if nominated to make a thorough campaign over the state for the entire Republican ticket." W. W. Thompson, of Parsons, Republican candidate for probate judge, came to Labette county a poor boy in 1884 and through sound business judgment and honest dealing he has accumulated considerable money and owns 240 acres good farm land. He has always been a Republican and well liked by men of all political complexions and there is no reason why he should not be nominated and elected. Joe Shreck, Repxblican candidate for sheriff, has always been an honest, faithful party worker and is deserving of the reward he seek. No one can question his honesty and integrity and if nominated and elected to this important office, he would perform every duty without fear or favor. Men like Mr. Shreck add to the party and are everyway worthy and well qualified. J. E. Robinson, a good, substantial business man and taxpayer is asking the Republican voters to nominate him for treasurer of Labette county. He has resided in the county for over twenty-five and is engaged in the livery business with his brother. His honesty and integrity is such as to guarantee promptness and regularity in the administration of the affairs of this important office and if party loyalty can lay any just claim to a reward, then the Republicans of the county owe Mr. Robinson this nomination. He has made a success of his own affairs and if the voters honor him with their confidence, he will use the same care that has predomitted in making his personal affairs a success. E. Perry Roberson, a local political leader among the colored people, has served as judge and appears to have the confidence of both races Cherokee County. From the Galena Republican The readers of the Galena Republican will find in its announcement column today the name of Thomas M'Ginty for the office of sheriff of Cherokee county, subject to the action of the voters at the primary election August 2, 1910. Life Hoe has withdrawn from the race, on account of his health, and respectfully asks his friends to consider the claims of Mr. M'Ginty for the position. Mr. M'Ginty's candidacy will appeal strongly to the labor element of this county. He is a true friend of the workingman He would rather shake the calloused, toil drawn hand of a laborer than the J. H. soft, white hand of a society drone or an idler, any day. The farmers look good to Mr. M'Ginty. He knows the farmers are the salt of the earth and that upon their broad shoulders rests the burden of feeding the world. Mr. M'Ginty is not inviting any antagonisms, but he wants it distinctly understood that he is not catering to any lawless element or illicit traffic in seeking the nomination for herelf at the hands of his party. If he is nominated and elected he will enforce the law in letter and in spirit, and no "immunity fund" or "1 out of 6" will make him reequent to his official duties. Mr. M'Ginty is a native of Ohio. His Republicanism is congenital—it dates from his birth. His loyalty to the grand old party is unimpeached and unimpeachable. And while he holds out the olive branch of peace to his Democratic friends, yet he hugs closer and NUMBER 25 clover the glorious principles of the party that has made America the greatest and grandest nation on the face of the earth. We ask our readers to give Mr. M'Ginty's claims due consideration. Remember he does not come before you holding a statute book in one hand and the silhouette of a skull and X bones in the other! You understand!! Miami County. Mr. O. C. Peterson, the pleasant and accommodating operator and olerk at the Missouri Pacific depot at Paola, has been employed in this o pacity since April 14th, 1902 and has rendered excellent service to both the company and patrons. He is a native Kansas having first saw the light of day in Spring Hill, April 14, 1873. He is presenting himself to the people as a candidate for county clerk to be voted upon at the coming primaries Aug. 2. Mr. Peterson is a deserving young man, capable and worthy of any trust that may be placed in him and if nominated and elected will make a good official. He has never been a candidate for office but has always contributed his spare time to assisting the other fellow. WINFIELD, KANS.

A. Gortill, candidate for county attorney, is one of Douglas county's leading attorneys. He served one term in this office several years ago. He thoroughly understands how to conduct the office and is asking the support of the voters of the county on his former record, which was such that he is not afraid to submit to the people as proof that he is worthy of a second term. R E. Melvin, candidate for county attorney has lived in Douglas county forty years was reared and educated in Lawrence graduating from K. U. law department. He is an able attorney—a man who has made the practice of law his business all his life and knows nothing but law. He says he has saved some of his colored clients several hundred dollars in cases where grafters were about to rob them of their savings. Edward T. Riting, candidate for county attorney, is in honest, up right, bright young attorney and made his way up from the bottom. He stands well with the people and is brave and fearless in whatever he undertakes. II. E. Don Carlos, candidate for representative Eleventh district, is one of the heads of the Fraternal Aid Society. He announced his candidacy sometime ago and now for some unknown reason, someone has forced himself into the race. Mr Don Carlos stands for Lawrence and Douglas county and will work harder for her interests than anyone else as he has no selfish motives to advance. His many friends urged him to become a candidate and he consented thinking there would be no opposition. Fred A. Clarke, a big hearted, honest Republican is an able lawyer who will make good anywhere. The Lawrence world has this to say of him. *Fred A. Clarke, of Lawrence, announces as a candidate for the office of county attorney. This is the first time he has asked a nomination for a county office. Mr. Clarke, has lived in Douglas county all his life and is a graduate of the law school of Kansas University. He is a young man, being 36 years old, and is qualified in every respect to fill the office to which he aspires ```markdown ``` "Fred is not what you would call a politician, but is a good mixer, is honest and well liked throughout the county. Of course the general public does not care about the personality of a man. What the public wants is a man who can do the work and do it well. This, Fred Clarko is capable of doing. Mr. Clarke is a man who always meets men in a way that wine them. It is not an affected way; it is natural and his face and manner in spire confidence in his honesty and ability. The Republicans generally consider him a strong man and it is quite certain that he will be given the nomination, at the primaries in August. Fred is the son of the late H. S. Clarke, one of the best officials the county ever had. And Fred Clarke will make good if he is elected county attorney." The Heroines of Jericho. The most Ancient Grand court, Heroince of Jericho, held it 6th annual grand communication in the historic city of St Louis, May 24- 26. inclusive. On the morning of May 24, at 10 o'clock, the representatives of the five courses of St Louis under the direction of the Grand Deputy, Sister Viola Garrett, received the Grand court in the assembly hall of the Masonic temple. After introducing the Most Ancient Matron, Sister Ida A. Walker of St Joseph, she presented her the gavel and Sister Walker proceeded to open the Grand court in ample form. The welcome address was made, and responded to by Mrs Magdalene Lewis of Fayette, Mo. The Most Ancient Matron of Illinois introduced and made very interesting remarks, bearing the greeting of that jurisdiction. The Grand Joshua, S. W. Vau Ln., made interesting remarks. The Royal G.M. of the United Grand chapter introduced and gave greetings from that body Routine work was taken up and the various committees were appointed. The feature of the utter conversation was the annual address to the Grand Most Ancient Matron. It was rich, spicy, filled with excellent matter, showing that Nister Walker had the work at heart and the return of government well in hand. It was the best it has been our pleasure to hear, and many others expressed themselves in the same manner. One of the most noteworthy features of the session was the rapidity with which the work was executed and too much praise cannot be given to the grand most Ancient matron for the forceful and expeditious manner in which the business of the court was transacted The financial feature of the court was splendid; collections in the general fund were #1385 29 relief fund $3913, burial fund $2266.25, total $7587 54 Expenditures were, general fund $141, relief $1428 - burial $1950, total $3819 99. Among other important resolutions submitted to the Jurisdiction was one to increase the amount of burial without increasing the assessment, which was passed for the first consideration.
