was good and the different acts of the

DECEPTION.
Upon July 20th, 1908, just two weeks before the primary, Mr. Wells sent
out a letter to the voters generally over this senatorial district. Every reader
of this article no doubt received that letter. Enclosed in that letter wers some
printed articles upon the situation as it then existed between Mr. Wells and
Dr. A. B. Jones, who were rival candidates for the republican nomination. In
that letter Mr. Wells said, "The district is large (comprising thirteen counties)
which makes it impossible for me to visit all of the voters personally in the
limited time that I can spare from my farm at this season of the year." This
was clearly an attempt on the part of Mr. Wells to have the farmers of this
district believe not only that he was an actual farmer but that he was very
busy on his farm and could only spare a limited time therefrom, it being a very
busy season of the year for farmers. The fact is the farming business that he
then was, and is still interested in, goes on just the same whether he is home
or not and the truth is, and his neighbors will say bo, that when this letter was
sent out upon the 20th of July, he not only was not at home and was not home
thereafter until the primary, and he had not been nome more than . day or two
at any time for many weeks prior to the mailing of that letter. He was out
devoting his time solely to the campaign for the nomination,, and besides being
out himself campaigning he had in his employ out elctioneering the voters, nu
merous paid lawyers, friends and others. Mr. Wells professes to have a pro
found and deep interest in the farmers. Does not this letter and the attendant
facts show that his deep interest is solely in securing their votes for himself
for Senator? Look up the letter referred to. You doubtless have it around
your house. When you have done that you will be ready to decide as to his
purpose and intentions.
It seems to be admitted, on all sides, that Mr. WellJ spent at least $3500.00
to secure the nomination from his opponent. Dr. A. B. Jones. Personal friends
oi Mr. Wells have said that Mr. Wells told them that he had spent that sum of
money. Can there be any condition which will justify any man in spending such
a sum of money to procure the nomination to an office which has a four year
term and a total salary of $300, with a small mileage added of probably $100
more thus making the whole sum which could be realized out of the office in a
legitimate way of only $40d. It is the usual experience ia this life that men do
not make investments of that character. Juat where he expects to get his
money back is a question that ought to interest every voter, especially if he
doubles this expense in trying to be elected.
In this letter which Mr. Wells sent out July 20, 1908, he enclosed circulars
by which he assulted his then opponent for the republican nomination, Dr. A.
B, Jones of Wakeeney. by showing from garbled portions of the House Journal
that Dr. Junes voted against the anti-pass law and the two cent fare law when
in truth and in fact Dr. Jones voted for both these measures. Look this up for
yourself. These are the methods by which Mr. Wells got his nomination and
these are the methods by which he expects to- secure his election. ' Are you
willing to believe everything told you by this sort of a candidate? Do you
think that a man who would wilfully misrepresent his opponent to. get a nomi
nation for a $100 cCce and spend thousands of dollars in dclrs so is exactly
the r;"2t 2X311 to 8 intrusted with $vut business at Tcpcla? Adr.-lt

TS Bishpam Concert., November, 9.
Tickets to the concert will be sold at
$1.00 a piece. The Normal Faculty
will adopt a new method of reserving
seats for this occasion. Each purchas
er of tickets will receive a receipt show
ing number of tickets purchased On
Friday evening Nov. 6, at the Normal
Auditorium, slips or cards having upon
them the names of ticket purchasers
and number of tickets purchased will
be thoroughly jumbled together in
box from which a person unable to see
what card he gets will draw forth the
cards one by one. Parties will reserve
seats in the order in which their names
come forth from the box. Any parties
unable to be present at the drawing
may send proxies to reserve Beats in
their stead. If neither proxy nor own
er of card is present members of Nor
mal Faculty will reserve best seats
available for such parties in the order
of their card draft.
This plan will avoid the unpleasant
feature of having ticket holders stand
In line for a long time prior to the re
servation of seats and will give out-of-
town purchasers the same opportunity
to secure as good seats as home folks,
Yocemento Road.
Now that the Yocemento Cement
Mill is in operation and is a success our
town should do all it can to secure a
good share of the trade out there and
have the head men locate here for our
Bchool, church and society advantages.
This can be best done, and only done
by: making a good direct road between
the two towns with as little inconven
ience as possible to those : traveling be
.twees the two- places.
Years ago the coqnty leased othe
railroad a .roadway along both flifa.of
the track through the eounty, a strip
100 feet wide. That lease is still in ex
istance and rental paid each year.
The present road to Yocemento cros
ses the railroad track several times and
winds around, which is not only danger
ous but very inconvenient. A direct
road should be opened from the west
bridore direct into Yocemento, along
NORTH SIDE OF THE RAILROAD TRACK.
which would make a good roadway and
stop the crossing of the track. It would
be better for the people and better for
the railroad company. Commissioner
Brull, who lives out that way and is
interested, should at once see that such
a road is opened up, and as it joins his
land, he can show his interest in the
people's benefit by pushing it thorugh
at once.
If our city does not do it we' will
lose lots of that trade and give Ellis a
chance to open up a road and get ahead
of us.
