A MIGHTY GOOD TICKET.
It is recognized that the Repub
licans of Dickinson county have an
exceptionally fine ticket this fall. It
made up of capable edld.te.
vervone of whom has ample qualifi
cations for the position to which he
.nlrm. There Is n factionalism and
. r,r. uctionallsm In the ticket. The
county has all sections represented
candidates being from Chapman
Hope, Herlngton, Solomon, etc., as
well as from Abilene, bo eiceiieni
! the ticket that the prospects are
for a clean sweep for every candidate
from top to bottom of the list
The people of the county hive
learned to expect on the Republican
ticket first class candidates and to
expect from the officers when elected
first class service. In the oaso of
every candidate before IhJ people
this fall who has already served the
public the record speaks tor Itseir.
The service given by Representative
Case, County Clerk King, Sheriff
Young, District Clerk Rowe, Probate
Judge Anderson, Assnssor Murphy
and Commissioner Fry, have proved
their fitness for their places and
their renomlnatlon came as a recog
nition of their excellent work and
faithful performance of duty.' Their
reelection Is assured.
The new names on the ticket are
those of equal merit, In Ernest
Morse for treasurer, F. A. Green for
county attorney, Mrs. Anderson for
register, W. 0. Steen for superlntena-
register, yy . v. lwm . .
.nbandM. A. Jolley tor surveyor are

Altogether It Is a ticket ef which
the party may well be proud and It
Is one that will receive the approval
of the votes in election.
Chairman J. N. Dolley of the Re-
publican state committee, doe. not
" . .,
expec the msiip to jrag ..on,
a. quietly a. It has been going right
un to election. He expects-the light-
nlng to strike any day and Is. pre
paring for It. Notwithstanding the
apparent lack of any need tor a bat
tery of outside speakers Mr.' Dolley
Is making arrangements for some
top-liners.
Invitations have been sent to both
of the Iowa senators A. B. Com
mlns and J. P. Dolllver. They have
spoken In Kansas and are known in
some parts of the state. Senator
Cummins was In Kansas during the
primary campri'gn. Senator Dolll
ver spoke In Top;ka when Prsl ient
Taft made his tour through the state
Just before the general election two
years ago. It they will come to Kan
sas for the presontcamiialgn they
will be scheduled tor the larger cit
ies and towns.
Two more outsld-s "no have
been Invited are James R. Garfield,
a former member of Preidet Rooso
velt's cabinet, and Gifforti Plnchot.
ex-natlonal forester. al)oth Plnchot
and Garfield were tn Kansas with
Colonel Roosevelt when he spoke at
Osawatomle In August. Chairman
Dolley will make special efforts to
get them to come to Kansas
SENATOR TRAVIS APPROVKS.
Senator Frank Travis ot lola aendf
10 toe traitor ok law nviieviur an
interesting letter along sensible lines
In state politics. He quote, this
editorial from the Reflector:
Whea the Kansas legislature meets
we hope some member of the house
will make a motion to have a com
mittee selected by the h'oaae name
all tha committees and that the
speaker shall not be a member of
that committee. This' is what Mur
doch, Madison, Cummins aad all -the
reformers hare been fighting for' tn
congress and It would be ridiculous
for Kansas' legislature to allow Itself
to be bossed by a speaker who caa
automatically same all the coat-
mitteea. olcklna them out In advance.
The aame should be done la the
senate. Let', have real reform and
not hypocritical than with one thing
at Washington and another thing at
home. It the insurgents are honest

to see which route they take.
Commenting upon It Senator Tra-
vli says: "I take thli method or
endorsing the proposition laid down
by you In this clipping." I believe
that, thli li the thing to do, If we
are to' have reform let u have re
form. I would go a itep farther
than this: I would have a law pasted
by the legislature making It unlaw
ful and Ulea-al for a member of the
legislature to accept an appointive
office from the bands of the governor
dnrlnr .the term for which he Is
elected. I believe It Is Just as ques
tionable to buy a man's Influence
in ihA lntlslature by giving him an
appointive office as It Is for the
areat corporations to buy nis in
fluence and services In some other
manner.!'

general desolation through that
