THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER State House Fourteenth Year. No.24. Two Sure Propos KANSANS CONTINUE FOR POLITIC KANSANS CONTINUE BATTLE FOR POLITICAL PREFERMENT! Manager Griffin In His Ramble Over the State, Pauses Long Enough to Say a Word About the Fine Bunch of Men Seeking Political Honors In the Several Dounties. LEAVENWORTH COUNTY. Hon. Floyd Harper. A good police judge is of grave importance to a city, and in Lloyd Harper Leavenworth has a judge of whom she might well be proud. He is one of the ablest lawyers in the West, a young man just in the prime of life; a student and scholar. He began the practice of law in the office of Hon. John H. Atwood, and has assisted in and handled some of the heaviest cases that ever came before the courts of Kansas. Mr. Harper is a Republican and was elected to the office to which he again a pater two years ago. His splendid record is a magnificent endorsement for a second term and the citizens of Leavenworth are going to nominate and elect him again. Personally, Mr. Harper is a fine young man, and one can tell that he is absorbed in his profession should you visit his office on Delaware street and take a squint at his well equipped library Hon. H. C. Short. When Mrs H. C. Short was first nominated and elected to the office of county commissioner several years ago he promised the people that he would work for and advocate the prompt payment of all indebtedness incurred by the county, and that care and judgment would be exercised in constructing future debts. Upon this most excellent platform he was elected, and he has kept every promise to the letter. He has done his full duty as a public official, exercising care and pains as he would in personal matters, and every taxpayer in the county will admit this. He has been the means of placing Leavenworth county on a sound business basis, and that if given further trial he will accomplish more good things. The office of county commissioner is far from being a joke or plaything and people realizing the importance of the office are far from willing to swap a good, keen, far-sighted business man like Mr. Short for some impractical in- ```markdown ``` M.

Positions: 'Taft Will BATTLE TICAL PREFERMENT! experienced man who desires the office simply because there is a good salary attached to it. Mr. Short is an upright, honorable, fair and square business man and has earned every dollar he has ever received from the county—in fact, he has given double service for a single salary. He loves his county and the mass of struggling humanity within her borders far better than a few paltry dollars, which he has proven conclusively by his untiring efforts in the past to save their dollars and at the same time make them happy. It would be political suicide for Iavenworth county to defeat a man like Mr. Short. Hon. S. H. Ward. One of the best and most efficient county commissioners that ever served the people of Heavenworth county is Hon. S. H. Ward. He has served the taxpayers for the past two years, during which time he has been an instrument through which thousands of dollars has been saved. Mr. Ward is one the most progressive and enterprising citizens in the state, yet he is not a spendthrift, but believes in spending a dollar where it will count and be beneficial to everybody. Men of this type are a blessing to any community, and the people will show wisdom by placing them in important positions of this character. Mr. Ward is a resident of Tonganovie, Stranger township, where he has lived for many years, and he enjoys the confidence and respect of everybody. He is kind, sympathetic and obliging and has been business judgment and forsight has been the means of greatly reducing the county's indebtedness. He is one of the largest stockmen in that section of the state, and a heavy contributor to the tax fund H. p. C. C. Smith. C C Smith, the present incumbent of the office of clerk of the district court, is a candidate for reelection. Mr. Smith is serving his first term in that office and in asking for a second term is asking for that which he thinks he has earned, and asking the voters, especially the Republicans, to follow the time honored custom of giving to worthy public servants a second term as an endorsement for the work well and faithfully performed. He is competent, has competent assistants and attends strictly to the public business in his charge. Mr. Smith's record and his republicanism make him worthy of the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 14, 1912. support of all people who want republicanism and ability coupled together. We look for him to have a large following. Hon. Jim Jarvis. Jim Jarvis, the present coroner of Leavenworth county, is in the race for nomination, subject to the action of the Republicans at the primary in August. During the last year he has saved the county 16,214,00, which is a splendid showing in one year. He has made Leavenworth a safe place in which to live. His republicanism is right, his record as an officer is right, his personal character is right and he has the ability to be coroner. These things being true, he is entitled to the nomination which he is asking for. Hon. Lee Bond. Lee Bond of Leavenworth is a candidate for county attorney of Leavenworth county. He is a Republican and one of the leaders of his party in that county. The manager of The Topka Plaindonler was recently in Leavenworth looking over the political situation and finds many candidates there this year on both sides of the political fence in scand of jobs. He finds Mr. Bond among this number running for county attorney. We made inquiries there as to his chances and his ability and standing and finds that he is well known, has many friends, that he is a fine man, an able lawyer and has in the past made good. He has a large and paying chentage almost all of whom are for him for county attorneys. Those with his many other business and personal acquaintances make him, with his ability and other qualifications, look like a formidable candidate. MICHIGAN COUNTY. Conrad M. Voolker has served as a deputy in the office of the county clerk for the past three years, and now he justly feels that he deserves a promotion. He wants to be the boss, and if the people of Atchison county want to be square and just about the matter, they will give him the promotion he asks for. Mr. Voolker is a country boy, having remained on the farm until three years ago, when he accepted his present position. He is a graduate of Midland college, and a year later he completed a course in the Atchison Business college. He has command of both German and English languages, thus making him one of the best equipped men in the county for the office. He is kind, generous and obliqing, which has made him scores of friends among people of all political parties. A vote for Mr. Voolker means a good clean administration of the affairs in the office of the county book. BROWN COUNTY, D. Herman Shelton. D Herman Shelton, Republican candidate for county treasurer of Brown county, has resided in the county all his life, having first seen the light of day here April 1st, 1868. His father, David Shelton, settled in this county, 12 miles south of Hamlin, in 1857, and had continuous residence in Brown county until his death in 1908. Mr. Shelton has never asked for a county office, and it is but fair that the voters give his candidacy consideration. He resided on a farm until thirty years of age and is not afraid of hard work, and knows how to sympathize with those who toll. He was for years assistant postmaster at Hamlin, and at present is manager in the grocery department in one of the largest stores in that section. He is honest, well educated and in every way qualified for the office he seeks. Nominate and elect him Miss Jessie Campbell Miss Jessie Campbell, county clerk of Brown county, is one of the best and most capable officials that ever served the people of any county. She is a stalwart Republican and the voter are going to see that she is nominated and elected The Right Man in the Right Place Ernest N Underwood, the present county treasurer, is a candidate for nomination as county treasurer of Atchison county. Mr. Unde wood at this time has no opposition and should not have. He has been a competent treasurer, has given general satisfaction as a public officer, and is entitled to a renomination for a second term without a contest. He is a staunch Republican, a thorough business man and from every standpoint is qualified for the position. Competent, accommodating officers serving their first term ought not to be compelled with the ranks of their own parties to fight for such renomination. They expect opposition from the opposing political party, but should not be forced to react it in their own airy. We hope that this time honored custom will be adhered to in this country and that he will receive his party nomination without a night for it. SHAWNEE COUNTY. Hon. Robert Stone. is a candidate for re-election as representative from the thirty-fifth district, Shawnee county. Mr. Stone has served the district faithful and well and if ment is to be rewarded feels that he is entitled to further consideration. He has been one of the leaders on the floor of the house and is one of the ablest debaters in that body, is an authority on parliamentary procedure and he has been recognized by various speakers by assignment to some of the most important committees. In this capacity Mr. Stone has favored champion and been author of many of the progressive measures introduced in the legislature and ably supported the primary bill, the anti pass bill and the bank guarantee law together with many of the other progressive and bona fide measures written in the statutes in recent years. He introduced a presidential preference primary bill which should have been passed at the last session of the legislature. He is the author in Kansas of the bill containing "statement No. 1" of which the senator of Oregon is the originator in the United States. Mr. Stone is a loyal Republican and conscientiously stands with his party when he believes they are right. He has no opposition at this time and we do not believe he will have any before the primary. We believe opposition to him would be useless, if any existed. E. A. ENRIGHT Restore to the People every gov- ernmental power. E. A. ENRIGHT For Congress. Primary Aug. 6, 1912 The announcement of Hon. H. A. Enright for congress in the Second district is the subject of much comment throughout his district, and "the wise ones" are predicting that he will win. Mr. Enright is a resident of Kansas City and one of the best known men in the district. He has always been a leader in politics, having served in the legislature where he made many warm friends and supporters among men of all political creeds. He proved to his constituents that he places honor and justice above political "deals" intended to work a hardship upon the people. His only campaign pledge was that he would do all in his power to carry out the wishes of the people, which he did faithfully and well. He gave the people the best there was in him, and he made many warm friends, who are pushing his campaign, and will not permit the grass to grow under their feet until the polls close on August 6th. Mr. Enright is a strong advocate of the laboring man's rights, and a believer in equal and exact laws. He can be depended upon at all times to do the square, fair thing, and no one knows this better than the people of his district. He is a staunch Republican of the progressive type; a man of wonderful executive ability and if the people honor him with their confidence, he will ably represent them in Congress. . PROF. H. L. KEALING, the man Who is Building a Greater Western University. Commencement At Western University Music, Song and Oratory Announced the Debut of the Several Boys and Girls Into the World of Activity Armed With Trades and Professions, Are Amply Able to Win in the Rugged Battle of Life. The sixteenth annual commencement of Western University occurred Thursday of last week and was by far the best in the school's history, both in point of attendance and intellectual advancement The Western University of today and that of sixteen years ago are as different as daylight and darkness. The institution has kept abreast of the times and now stands well up in the ranks of the country's foremost institutions of learning, and a leader among schools of its kind. Western University is strictly but a home-grown product that has made a reputation in the nation's educational life. Each year score of boys and girls are sent out into the world, ably fitted to meet every demand along all lines. They are sending forth teachers, preachers and mechanics of all kinds who are an honor and credit to themselves, and to the race to which they belong. They are contributing much to society, and certainly the world that the Negro needs only a chance. At the appointed hour the procession formed, headed by the University band and the school officials, followed by the students and visitors, marched to a large tent that had been pitched on the campus, where the exercises were held. thirty-five hundred cager souls packed the big tent and after listening to an overture, "The Sky Pilot," Dr. Coleman of Ola, offered the invocation and the exercises proper begun. "Lifting the Vul," salutatory oration by Aurcha Hayden, (normal) Korkwood, Mo., was a gem, sparkling with wit and good wholesome advice. It showed careful study of conditions and that her time had been well applied Miss Elke Grant in "Our Forest, Our Mountain" was fine. Supported by a splendid chorus, she delighted the large audience with her rich voice. Truly Miss Grant is a sweet singer, and from the hearty applause of her honours, she made good James Bates (commercial), Lansing, cared for himself admirably, and his oration, "What knowledge is of Most Circulation 9,000 Guaranteed Price $1,50 Per Year. Worth?" was well received and made a good impression. His presentation, dictation and grammar plainly told that he has been a good student, and above all, a close observer of conditions. He will make good if he continues to pursue his present course "The Nurse of Today and the Nurse of Yesterday" was ably discussed by Ida May Jones (nurse training). Olathe Her comparison of the old way of caring for the afflicted proved that she knew whereof she spoke, and that she had graped every point pertaining to this most needed of all professions among the colored people. Her conception is clear and the case and grace with which she presents a M. Our Own W. W. Fisher, Lissel Ag't. Weston University matter commands the closest attention. Clarence Parker rendered a piano solo that was very entertaining. Edna May Smith, (commercial), Kansas City, Kansas, told "How to Learn by Doing." It was a well told story proving the advantages of practice over theory. She is very intelligent and will make a mark in life. The valedictory oration fell to Mary Bentree Wood (normal), Carthage, Mo. She told of "Relations of Home and School," and convinced her hearers that she was thoroughly familiar with the subject and her oration was well rendered and highly instructive The address to graduates was delivered by State Superintendent R. T. Fairchild, and it can be truthfully said that it was the most highly instructive and contained more good, wholesome food for thought than any ever before delivered to the student body of the institution. It was far from the usual stereotyped talk employed by the average (Concluded on page eight) .

It was planned to admit Kansas and form @ constitution and get control while she was thinly settled and before any northern imigtants could Le brought in, but, the loyal citizens already were wide anahke and alert that this might not ever be a slave state.

There are many preparations highly advetised to do the work, but it is probably your eaperience that none of them will really meet the claims of their manufacturers. There are many so-called hair restorers which are nothing more than harmful chemical dyes, which do not grow any hair, the only result being that they dyed the hair, having no pemanency and often causing o streahy appearance, It has been the aim of the chemists fur ycara to discover a prepara- tion which would really grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair, but heretofore they have met with no success, Prof. Rembler now claims to have discovered a combination of harmiers vegetable composition which is a Genuine Hair Restorer and will grow hair and does not contain any dye of any kind, but will positively restore the natura} color and bniliancy to gray and faded hair. This is a very strong statement to make and if any chemist without the recognized ability and national reputation of Prof, Rembler were to mahe this claim we would be inclined to be skeptical as to its truth, It will be remembered by reader that are familiar with scientific discoveries that Prof, Rembler was the inventor of the one fire process for gilding glass and also the Rembler Wireless Coherer, Any statement made by I’rof. Rem- bler fs entitled to consideration as he would not make any statements which were not true and would injure his established reputation, The Sileron Mfg. Co. of Pueblo, Colo, ahve purchased the exclusive American rights to manufacture Sagincine, as they have named Prof Rem- bler's Invention, after haying made a six months’ test of Sagine and thor- oughly demonstrating that it would positively do the work. ‘The Silaren Mfg. Co. have authorized us to make the following remarkable offer to all who need a “genuine Hair Restorer.” They will send a written agreement with every bottle of Suagine, to the effect that if one bottle of Sagine consvientiously used according to the directions does not give entire satisfaction to the purcha-er of Sagine does not actually grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair, remove dandruff and make the hair healthy and glassy, that they will pay the suo of $5 t> any dissatisfied purchaser, This is the strongest offer ever male by any manufacturer and ozo they could rot possyble make if they ds! not know positiycly from expert: ence that it would do exactly what they claim for it, No one can tahe any chance in buying Sagine as it is certainly worth $1 to use u Genuine Halt Restorer that will really grow hair, and if it does not give satisfaction they will pay you the #5 a3 agreed. Send 4 $1 bill to the Siloron Mf, Co, Pucblo, Colo, statirg that you wish to purchase a bottle of Sagine with the written agreement tu grow hair and ri tore the color to gray or faded hair or pay you the sum 0% $5 and ft will be sent to you by express In plain cvrapper.
