Straight From The Shoulder
At the Kepublican primary for
the nomination of a man to till the
congressional vacancy, there were
less than 20 votes cast here for
' J udge Martin of Hutchinson. Se
ward Co. declared herself as be
ing progressive, and the county's
plurality went to Judge Finley of
Dodge City. Now the question
arises, has Martin grown stronger
or better, or more amenable to the
wishes of the voters of the district I
sinm the dav that Drimarv was
hnlrl in this district! We believe
not. There has been a manifesto
issued from the republican head
quarters at Hutchinson, that the
party has agreed to compromise
and support Martin. Now this
matter of "compromising" doesn't
go very well in Western Kansas.
People here are forced to stand
either for or against the ideas on
which campaigns are based. This
year will be no exception. Martin
is a standpat from A to Izzard.
As the mayor ot Hutchinson, he
was one of the variety who refused
to lend his support for any im
provements for the town, and it is
said that all of the sidewalks built
there during the Martin adminis
tration, were built by agreement
of the property owners on the
various streets where the improve
ments were needed. Martin is
tied up hand and foot with Billy
Morgan who is the real King Bee
of the old time regular or stand
pat republicans in this district. It
is indeed doubtful if even the
wiley republican campaign mana
gers will be able to force this
"compromise" stuff down the
throats of the progressive voters
in the district. Reno county, where
Neeley is probably better known
than in any other county, will
probably give him a majority
greater than that of last year.
When those who know a man best
rally to his support, it would ap
pear that this should be a pretty
good indication of the relative
ability of the two men who are
now asking for the election. Read
George Neeley's platform in this
issue of The Democrat. It is
worth while, and is based on the
needs of the Seventh District.
The newest thing for the city in
the way of a public improvement
will be the installation of some
sort of tire fighting equipment
that will be adequate to the needs
of the town. The matter of hay
ing such a truck made here was
presented to the council at the
meeting last week, and was taken
under advisement at that time.
As it now stands, the equipment
. is not in such shape that it may
be taken to a tire with any speed.
The cost of maintaining the new
apparatus will also be light. On
the other hand, there will be some
question as to whether or not this
matter should have preference in
the list of expenditures. The Lib
eral Auto Supply Co. has offered
to take the city warrants at the
legal rate of 6 percent. If other
things are equal, we believe that
the job of building and equiping
the truck should be given home
people. The labor on the job will
amount to more than half of the
cost of the new truck, and if pos
sible should go to our own men.
Hinglewood is to have a new
water works system. The mater
ial has already been unloaded
there for the new plant, which is
to be completed, by March 1, 1912

It is indeed pleasant to see how
the street lights are gradually be
ing extended to the residence part
of the city. During the past week
new lights have been placed on
South Grant Ave. It is said that
there will be several new lights
placed on South Sherman Ave. in
the near future and an extension
is now beiDg planned for several
other streets in the residence sec
tion. The street lights have proven
popular, and will probably con
tinue to grow in popularity, as the
present idea is carried out more
extensively on the two streets
above named.
The editor of the Hooker Ad
vance talks -like a married man
these days. In his editorial col
umns last week, he said with refer
ence to one of our mentions of the
suffrage situation here: "We
might remark that when Hooker
becomes inoculated with the virus
of equal suffrage rights, we intend
to turn the steering wheel of the
moral guide over to someone else
and t 1 e to the brush."
Yes, on the whole, it really
sounds as though Bro. Heibert
were married
The town of Meade has recently
begun to put on city airs. They
now have a telephone directory
for the patrons of the system there
and the telephone exchange is ad
vertising in the papers in order to
induce the subscribers to call by
number. It is hoped that the good
people there may be able to learn
this intricate bit of business before
the close of 1912.

GEORGE A. NEELEY
Of Hutchinson,
Democratic Candidate for Congress
Seventh District.
PLATFORM
If elected, I pledge my whole en
deavor to enact into law the follow
ing declaration of principles:
1st. , A Presidential Primary.
2nd. The Initiative and referen
dum.
3rd. A national income and Inherit
ance tax.
4th. A law providing for the re
call of all unfaithful public officials.
5th. The election of United States
Senators by direct vote of the people.
6th. An Immediate revision of the
tariff downward, and the placing of
all trust made-goods on the free list.
7th. The regulation of public ser
vice and other corporations by the
state and nation, and a strict law
prohibiting over-capitalization of the
same, providing both tine and im
prisonment for the violation thereof
8th. Increasing the powers of the
interstate commerce commission so
that they shall have jurisdiction over
all interstate business, including ex
press, telephone and telegraph com
panies. 9th. Amending the long and short
haul clause of the Hepburn bill so
that the common carrier may not
charge a higher rate for the short
haul than for the long haul In the
same direction thereby removing the
discrimination against the jobbing
centers of the Seventh district.
10th. I believe In 'the further
weeding out of useless officials who
are parasites upon the body politic;
cutting out every graft and reducing
the expense of the administration of
affairs so that every employee will
give a dollar of service for every dol
lar of pay.
11. 1 believe in the further exten-
tlon of rural deliveries, and of furth
er federal aid to Agriculture, good
roads and irrigation In this district.
12. The government of the United
States owes a sacred duty to its de
fenders, add I believe each soldier of
the Union army is entitled to a pen
sion of one dollar per day during the
balance of his life.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE A. NEELEY.
