for q second term.-Kansas City Times.
The Anthony papers ali loudly
quote from the Times now! But it
ought to come a little nearer the
truth in its statements. Previous
to Anthony Kansas has had five
governors. Two of them, Robinson

last Wichita Eagle:
EWe have 1t from a very reliable source
that the probabilities are that the name
of Almerin Gillett, Of Emporia, will be
presented to the Republican State con-
vention for the position Of Supreme
Judge. Mr.. Gillett Is at present men,
Der OF the State Senate from the counties
Of Lyon and Greenwood. Although a
young man, Mr.. Gillet is citizen Of un-
blemished character, and lawyer com
manding the confidence OF the bench and
bar OF the entire State"
We never heard anything of the
above here, and we see Mr.. Gillett
almost every day. 1t seems to US
that if he is a candidate he would
certainly have consulted some OF
his neighbors before making the an
nouncement abroad. Major Gillett
is all ths Eagle says he is, and more,
and could get 8 good support
here if he desired the position.
