JUST A FEW OF THE MANY
GOOD BOOSTERS FOR
THE DAILY DEMOCRAT
George J. Klein, Henry Achats,
Jr., and George Krampe,. all of
north of Ellinwood, were in the
city Tuesday to attend to busi
ness matters and for a little visit
with . friends, and incidentally,
Messrs. Klein and Krampe call
ed at the Democrat office andi!frge W' Thatcher. "I believe
made arrangements to have the
new daily come to their address
the coming year.
Mrs. Roy Weathers, of south
west of town, was shopping and
visiting in the city last Saturday,
and called at this office to see
about the new Daily Democrat,
and needless to say is one of the
I I i r ..
nymi uoosiers ior me proposi
tion.
Jess Hood, one of the procres
sive farmers of the south side,
was a business visitor in the city
luesaay and came into the Dem
ocrat office and planked down
ii ,
mo accessary Kaie ior a year s
subscription to the new daily in
advance. Mr. Hood is cnlhusi
astic oyer the prospect and says
u is going to prove a winner
01 is Evers was in from north
west of town Tuesday marketing
.f i i .
MJiuu oi ins lasi year s wiicat crop.
Olis says the price is terrible
"poo'Iy", but he thinks that if he
is economical he can manage to
ive through until spring with
the price of a few loads. Like
almost everyone else who comes
to town these days he came in
and laid dawn the good hard cash
for a subscription for the new
daily for a year in advance.
P. W. Paxson, of Albert, is one
of the good boosters for the new
daily from that part of the coun
ty. In a letter received by the
Democrat office Tuesday he says:
"Please enter my name for a
year's subscription to The Daily
Democrat." Getting a few dozen
like that every day makes the
Democrat man inclined to feel
that the public is of the opinion
that this bully old world is big
enough for more than one family.
Joe Sprinker, the popular El
linwood auctioneer is one of the
fellows who makes his living by
talking, but he does not believe
in wasting words when they are
not necessary. In a letter receiv
ed at the Democrat office this
week he simply say: "Jusf put
my name on the list for a year as
soon as the new daily, starts."
That's oratory enough for us.
T. A. Calhoun, of Claflin, is an
other correspondent this week
who doesn't believe in wasting
the English language when it is
not necessary. His letter to the
Democrat man is simply as fol
lows: lour circular at hand
I'm with you. Send 'er along.'
Sure we will. Communications
of that sort his just the right spot
in the printer man s anatomy.
"Just put my name down for
a year s subscription to The Daily
Democrat and mail me the bill
and I will send you a check. We
have been needing a good county.
seat daily paper for a long time
ami i ueneve mat vou will give
it to us. You are going to get
big subscription list up this way."
That's the kind of a letter receiv
ed from L. R. French at Pawnee'
Rock, yesterday, and is a sample
of the ones which have been
coming to this office with great
regularity ever since the an
nouncement of the new daily was
made. This means that the people
of the county, while not expecting
a Kansas City Star or a Chicago
Ledger, are looking for a good
paper and are anxious to give thr.t
kind of a paper their support, and
c aic going io try ana pui cm
such a paper that they will not
be disappointed in the least.
"I see that you are going to
start a new daily paper," writes
L. J. DeGarmo, mayor, chief of
police and grain buyer at Dart
mouth. "Count me in as one of
your subscribers, and be assured
that I will do all I can to help
you out on the proposition." E i
dently Mr. DeGarmo is another of
the Barton county people who be
lieves that the Lord in His infi
nite wisdom did not go to all the
trouble to create this world just
for one firm to have their own
way.
"What's the price, and what's
the difference," is the way that
Charley Dodge put the matter
when he met the Democrat man
on the street the day after the
announcement had been made of
the new daily. "Put me on the
list for a year just the same. I
want the paper. While I am a
Republican, I want to see a good
successful Democratic daily pa
per in this town and I am going
to help support it." And we glad
ly added Mr. Dodge's name to the
list and assured him that while
the paper was going to be Demo
cratic, the first consideration was
going to be to get all of the news
and get it correctly so that the
paper would not be filled each
day with apologies for mis-state-
- menls made the day previous
u'ews is !he PrinciPal hing which
the people pay for when thev sub
scribe for any paper, and that is
what we are going to try and give
them.
"Count me in as one of the read
ers 01 ine Daily Democrat," said
that you are starting out on the
right foot and will give us a good
paper."
Uncle Dan Miller, of northwest
of town, is another of the pioneers
and big farmers of the county who
wants a good daily paper in Great
Bend, and is interested in seeing
it a success. While in town Sat
urday attending to business mat
ters and visiting with friends he
called at the Democrat office and
ordered the new daily sent to his
address for a year and also left
some subscriptions to be sent to
some of his relatives. "And IH
take a few more subscriptions if
necessary in order to make the
thing a go," he said in leaving. A
few boosters as good as Mr. Mil
ler would make any project, no
mailer what it was, a success in
every way. He wants a good lo
cal daily, and we are not eoinu
to disappoint lum
Wal Dodge was one of the men
who did not need lime to think
over whether or not he wanted
another paper. He received a no
tice through the mails of the
starling of" The Daily Democrat
and before he even put the notice
in his pocket after gelling it out
of the postoffice, he came lo the
print shop and ordered Ihe paper
sent to his address for one year
and also ordered it for a year for
his daughter, Mrs. Nell Traylor,
at Raton, New Mexico
I want three subscriptions to
ine Daily Democrat lor a year
each, is the cheerful way in
which Charles Gunn, of the Bar
ton County Flour Mills Co. greets
the new project. "There is no
reason on earth why a good daily
paper in Great Bend should not
be a big success if you will only
give the real news and give it cor
rectly, and I want to do my share
towards helping along in the mat
ler." As Mr. Gunn is one of the
Barton county men who has made
big success in his own affairs,
we are inclined to believe that his
judgment is good in the matter.
T. H. Brewer, of Pawnee Rock,
is another good booster for The
Daily Democrat. In a letter re
ceived yesterday he enclosed
check to pay for the new daily up
until January 1, 1917, and states
that he is mighty glad that at
last Barton county is to have
Democratic daily, and that if
boosting and best wishes on his
part will make it a go il will sure
be a big success
Henry Meyers was down from
Ileizer the last of the week and an
nounced that he wanted the new
daily sent to his address right
from the start, and also gave the
cheering information that a large
number of his neighbors had an
nounced their intention of having
their names put on The Daily
Democrat subscription list.
Harry Wildgen wriles from
Hoisington and enclosed a check
for a year's subscription to The
Daily Democrat in advance, which
testifies to his belief in the future
of the new daily.
H. L. Woodburn was in from
the south side Wednesday to at
tend to business matters and re
ports that the roads are in any
thing but good shape out in that
direction, being cut up and in bad
shape.
Probate Judge Harry Hall left
for Topeka' Tuesday evening to
attend to some business mailers
in regard to his office. Mr. Hall
is one of the officers of the State
Association of Probate Judges,
and the association is holding a
meeting in Topeka to talk over
and assist in some of the matters
of legislation in regard to the of
fice which will come up during
this term.
Don't fail to hear Seumas Mac
Manus, the famous lecturer and

ter visited in Larned, Saturday

port as guardian.
