tends to make Lyon county his future home.
Chase county was certainly not represented
in either house, in tbe last Legislature. The
members from that county being altogether
in the interest of Emporia, bound to do her
bidding. We hope, this fall, Chase county
will elect members who will work for Chase

He hates Lyon county, and he knows tina,

road comes to Emporia. it must necessarily
be pushed up the Cottonwood valley through
the heart of Chase county into Marion, and
lntersect the Santa Fe road at some poinl
vest of that He knows. also, that if thi-
is done. Council Grove will be left out in

concerned. The people of Chase county
we'll know that if the Santa F. Railroad Is

for them. Wood sees that the interests Of

We predict that he will succeed about as
well as he did before.
The assertion by Wood. that Chase
county has never been represented excep
when his miserable. lying. impudent, cor
