A vote for a democratic
candidate this fall is a half
of a vote for the republican
candidate.
Public ownership of coal
mines would give the con
sumer cheaper coal and the
miner higher wages. There
would be no large dividends
lor a gang or lazy scoundrels
who now own, control and fix
the price of the entire out
put.
J. B. McGinnis, Populist
candidate for commissioner
of the 2nd district, comes
highly recommended by his
neighbors and all who are ac
quainted witli him. No man
in Barber county is better
qualified to sit on the board
of commissioners.
If the republican party
succeeds in carrying a re
spectable number of the coun
ties in Kansas this fall they
will make the boast thatKan
sas has repudiated Populism
and re-endorsed republican
ism. Every Populist should
go to the j)olls and do his
best to keep the republicans
Jxom gaining a foot hold.
POPULIST PKI3CXPLES ABE BIQfiT. WHAT POPULISM HAS DONE POS BAB- ! TO THs" V oti nn i 1 . ... . ', "
The best and only safe way of deter
mining whether or not a party is entitled
to the suffrage of the people is to consid
er the principles the part? represents.
The lines between republicanism and
Populism have been clearly drawn.
The republican party, to put it briefly,
is in tator of concentrated power; it be
lieves tbt authority to control the na
tion Hbould be vested in a few men; it
believes that the rights of property are
more sacred than the rights of man. It
is the champion of corporations; it be
lieves that the people have no right
to interfere with monopolies without
regard to how much monopolies inter
fere with tbe rights of the people. The
republican party favors and upholds a
tioancial system which makes money
dear and scarce which, in turn, - makes
labor and the products of labor cheap.
The Populist party represents princi
ples exactly the reverse. It believes
that the people are the highest authori
ty iu the land; it believes that this gov
ernment, being a government for, of
and by the people, should regulate cor
porations and ultimately own and con
trol all natural monopolies. The Popu
list party holds that government by in-
juction is a monarchy in fact and hence
destructive of the liberties of the peo
ple; it demands strict adherence to law
and order but denounces usurpation in
public servants.
The principles of these parties being
thus clearly drawn, the intelligent vo
ter must necessarily make a choice.
The question that be must decide is
whicb party is better suited, and which
party will more zealously guard the in
terests of the people. If it is found
that the people are not capable of gov
erning themselves, or if it is found that
absolute freedom is dangerous to the
uman race, then the remedy can be
found in voting the republican ticket.
iJut if it is found that the people are
able to manage their own government
and if freedom in person aud freedom
in speech helps to enlighten and im
prove a people, then the Bame voter will
enlist in the cause of Populism and re
form. There is no middle cround.
Which principle do you endorse.
GO TO THE POLLS EARLY.
Election day is now only thirteen
days distant and no Populist Bhould
leave a stone unturned. The Populists
have the power to elect the entire tick
et it they will exercise it. Every mem
ber of the party should constitute him
self a committee of oue to see that ev
ery Populist voter goes to the polls ear
ly on Tuesday morning, November 2ud.
The various township committees
should look after this carefully. We
cannot afford to loose a single vote.
Don't let the fact that the contest this
year is a local one, make you less ag
gressive or less determined. The re
publican party the champion of the
gold standard and corporate supremacy
is making a strong effort to capture
every office from the greatest to the
smallest. If it succeeds It will u&e
the offices to perpetuate its authority
and the cause of reform will be crip
pled. Work for the success of Popu
lism early aud late. It is the party that
recognizes the rights of the masses. It
holds that the rights of man are more
sacred than the rights of property; it
opposes government by injunction, and
upon its success depends the welfare of
the people. Work for and vote the
Populist ticket.
How can any democrat consistently
support John Wyer for commissioner.
John Wyer is not now a democrat and
never was. Three years ago he was
elected as a Populist. Prior to his
claiming to be a Populist ha was a re
publican and we have every reason to
believe that he has gone back
to his "first loye." It is true that he
accepted a nomination at the hands of
six or eight individuals from Ilazelton
and Elwood townships who called
themselves a democratic convention
but this was only done as a piece of
spite work by another sorehead who
was defeated in the Populist conven
tion. If Mr, Wyer is anything but a
republican bis actions do not show it.
If he is a democrat why is it that the
Cresset has suddenly become his politi
cal guardian? The Kiowa Review is
tfce only democratic paper published in
the county and yet whenever he throws
dirt at this paper or at tbe Populist
candidate he goes to the Cresset the
republican paper and "authorizes" it
to usa about half of its space in doing
the foul work. The editor of the Cres
set worked hard and long to get the re
publicans of the Second district to
nominate Mr. Wyer for commissioner
instead of Mr. ?Tay, the present repub
lican candidate, but to the honor of the
republicans of the Second district, be it
said, the scheme failed. But even now,
the editor of the "Cresset" is making a
campaign for Mr. Wyer. We expect
that both Mr. Wyer and Mr. Axline
will deny tbe statements herein made
but they had better go slow. The
Cresset itselt is in evidence, and, un
fortunately. Mr. Axline made a trip to
Kiowa about a week before the republi
can convention and "shot off" his
mouth to a few republicans who did
not think they were bound to obey his
Royal Iledheadednesa. Tbe evidence
is all against the Wyer-Axline combi
nation and if they raise too much fuss
It may be necessary to shut them up
with another affidavit. Go slow, gen
tlemen, the puuiip is onto your game.
Our republican friends have ttois far
failed to tot ice that it was a Populist
legislature and a Populist governor
that passed the stockyard3 law. They
have also failed to note that it was a
Populist attorney-general who made, a
successful fight in tbe federal court
whou the law was attacked by the
stockyards company. The operation of
this law will save thousands upon
thousands of dollars to the stock ship
pers of Kansas and surrounding states.
If the legislature bad done nothing else,
it would be entitled to more praise
than its republican predecessors.
BEBCOUKTY. -. muiab TUWHSHIP NEWS.
i
This paper has made the claim for
the past four years that the Populist
party has saved Barber county a great
deal of money since it assumed control
of county affairs, and like all other
statements we make, were are prepar
ed to prove the assertion. On Monday
we received, through the kindness ot
Deputy County Clerk Gant, a state
ment of monies expended for county
purposes beginning with the year end
ing J uue 30, 1891, to the yearing June
30, 1897, omitting the year ending June
30, 1893. This year is omitted because
tbe total, in this instance, cannot be ar
rived at except by a gre?t amount of
time and trouble and neither we nor
Mr. Gant had the time at our com
maud. It is almost safe to say, howev
er that the expense for '93 is less than
it was in '92.
The Populists elected their first ad
ministration in the fall of 1890 and
those officers assumed duty in January
1891. It is, therefore,fair to begin with
the expenditures of that year. The
statement follows:
Amt expended for each year ending:
3une 30, '90 to June 30, '91 J25.010 31
June 30, '91 to June 30. '92 27,620 60
June ),'! to June 30, 'm 23.S09 21
June 30. ?i)4 to June 30. '95 22,753 79
June 30, '95 to June 30. 98 17,377 72
June 30, '96 to June 30, 97 15,782 50
From this table it will be seen that
there was a reduction in expenditures
every year except one, and that was in
tbe year begiuning June 30, '91 and end
ing June 30, '92 when only a part of the
offices was controlled by the Populists.
During the past four years when the
Populists were almost in complete con
trol, about $7,000 was saved to the tax
payers of Barber county. How,then,may
we ask,can the voters of Barber county
affoid to turn the county back to the
republican party? Tbe Populists took
hold of this county uuder the most ad
verse circumstances. Unparalleled fail
ures, pauics and disaster were common.
Itepublicau extravagance had sunk the
couuty seemingly hopelessly in debt,
but the wisdom, honesty and economy
of the Populist party made these debts
vinish like dew before the rays of the
summer sun and now, for practically
the hrst time in the history of Barber
county, we are on a cash basis. War
rants are worth their face value and
county deposits draw the usual rate of
interest.
It you want this this state of affairs
to continue vote the Populist ticket. If
the republicans are victorious this fall
extravagance will curse the treasury.
Most of the candidates on that ticket
are here temporarily ;they have no inter
est in the county aud slay only because
they hope to make something out of
the offices. When that is done, they
are done, and those who remain .will
have to foot the bill.
J. S. Jones is a good man and a No.
1 treasurer. Giye him the benefit of
your X on Nov. 2nd.
Xot a man on the democrat ticket
will get enough votes to remind any of
them that they were in the race. Don't
throw your vote away.
B. A. McAdoo has demonstrated his
ability to manage nis private business
and he can bo relied upon to keep the
sheriff's affairs in creditable shape.
Vote for him.
Everybody will yote for Dr. Cush
eubery for coroner. He is a good man
and can hold an inquest over the re
mains of the republican party iu good
shape.
R. D. G addle deserves a second term
iu the county clerk's office. The right
thing to do is to mark an X in the
square at the right of his name on elec
tion day.
The republicans nominated a man
for sheriff who is not able to conduct
bis own business on a safe and honora
ble basis. He ought not to be permit
ted to "mix" in county affairs.
On the subject of municipal owner
ship ex President Harrison says: "The
results of this public ownership of great
public enterprises have been exceeding
ly satisfactory and instructive. I am
inclined to consider municipal owner
ship as tbe best means to secure to the
people the cheapest and best service."
The candidate for sheriff
on the denocratic ticket was
a candidate for the Populist
nomination and would have
probably received it had he
not previously stated that he
would not accept the office if
nominated and elected. He
stated that he could not con
sider the matter on account
of poor health. The voters of
Barber county should under
stand, therefore, that Mr.
Nichols is not in this race
and that all who vote for him
are assisting J. B. Gano, the
republican candidate.
The office of representative
is one of the greatest import j
ance. There is now very lit
tle doubt that there will be
an extra session of the legis
lature during the winter, and
it is necessary that Barber
county should be represented
by a man who is in touch
with his constituents and who
has the ability and the honor
to represent them fairly, in
telligently and honestly. The
only candidate in barber
county who possesses ALL
these qualifications is Hon.
W. A. Creighton, of Cedar
township. '
Hazelton, Kan., Oct. 10, '96. J
Eds. Index: I Take this opportune-1
ty of giving ybu a short history of one!
of i he candidates on one of our county j
tickets the Hon. W. C. Alford. He !
has undertaken to write up several of
the candidates on the Populist ticket,
saying that they are public property,
and, if he is right, is he' not also public
property? Whether my conclusion is
right or wrouir. I shall ush him as such.
He has gone down into the lowest dirty 1
business any uaan can be guilty of the
bull business. But I am not the least
surprised for I have known him for 12
years and all this tima he has been in
just such low down business.
The last one of his tricks was in the
case of Follett vs. Case. Alford wa3
Follett's attorney. He got Follett into
trouble and then had to get Xoble, of
Medicine Lodge, to get him out: But
before Mr. Xoble succeeded. Mr. Al
ford had to use some more of his logic.
Case appealed from the justice court to
the district court, and put up $300
worth of property to secure a bond of
$150. W. C. Saw that this was going to
down him, and he jumped on the wit
ness stand and swore that the bond
wasn't worth a cent. Any man who is
acquainted with the parties to this ac
tion knows that this was a base lie, but
that is Alford's size. Case was com
pelled to increase his bond, aud lie
added the name of your humble serv
ant. Now the gentleman goes on the
stand and swears that I am not worth
a dollar, that all I have is in Mrs. Dun
bar's name. I am very glad that Mrs.
D. has so much property in her name;
and would it not be happy to contem
plate if Mrs. Alford would also have
something in her uame? But, unfortu
nate for her, all she has to her credit is
a hou-je full of children and a wise (?)
man one that is capable of getting a
client into trouble but who can't cet
him out. If Rockefeller or Vanderbilt
had been on Case's Dond Alford would
have done the same thing, be is no re
specter of persons. He would sink any
friend he has to carry out his point; be
wouldn't mind swearing falsely if by so
doing he could accomplish what he un
dertakes. Now, gentlemen, if you want a man
who has no principles, vote for W. C.
Alford; if you want a man who will un
dertake a suit for you, and you need
any swearing to pur it through, take
Alford; if you want a man who has
committed offenses that should send
him to the penitentiary, take Alford
Perhaps, as I have mentioned these of
fenses, I had better make one of them
a little plainer. The people of Barber
county doubtless remember, that a cer
tain citizen of Barber county, some
years ago, lost six head of . steers. W.
C. didn't get the cattle, but be got $200
for "settling the business." I can ex
plain this matter more fully later, if
necessary. I think this is almost as
bad as the Creighton case for the ex
planation of which Mr. Alford was so
mild in thanking Mr. Creighton, in a
recent issue of the Ilazelton Express.
Now that I have opened the cam
paign for W. C, perhaps he can reDlv
I don't like to meddle with a man's af
fairs, but when he makes himself so
public I lite to eive the people a few
sketches of him in my poor, feeble wav.
I am neither a scholar nor a newspaper
correspondent, but if W. C. Alford un
dertakes to besmirch any more of the
Populist candidates I am prepared to
meet him. Respectfully,
W. O. H. Dunbar
Xt was the Populist party
that made it possible for Bar
ber county to be on a cash
basis.
A vote for John Wyer for
commissioner is a ' half vote
for Geo. Nay, the republican
candidate.
The rank and file of demo
crats in Barber county are
fully informed on the fact
that it was the gold standard
element of the party that en
gineered the scheme to nomi
nate a ticket this fall. They
are also aware of the fact
that the gold standard ele
ment will vote the republican
ticket. The gold standard
fellows think they have fool
ed the free silver democrats
but they will realize after
November 2nd, that it was
only another case of mis
placed confidence.
C. S. Heskett is an honest,
industrious, quiet young man.
He has never pretended to be.
anything but a Ponulist. but
he has never been an offensive
partisan. His competency to
fill any office in the court
house goes unchallenged. His
work as deputy countv treas-i
urer is beyond criticism and
his habits are exceptionally
good. If the voters of Bar

convinced that they are safe men to elect to
the offices for whicn they are candidates, and
all the campaign thunder used against them
will have no effect upon us, and we find that a
sentiment more favorable is arising la their
favor as the campaign progresses and it
should behoove every true Populist to stand
firm for the whole county ticket and not to
waver because of a few petty jealousies that
have arisen for all candidates before a county
convention can not be nominated. Every ef
fort will be made to defeat the Populists this
fall and if such Is the case no one but the Pop
ulist party will be to blame for, It. In union
