place where we need the best man.
II should be q bToad-guaged msn

these qualifications are to be found in
q high degree In the person Of Prof
William Bishop, whose candidacy Is
urged by prominent educators in every
part Of the State, and indorsed by
many leading Republican papers In

he has been more extensively Endorsed
than any other candidate for any
place on the State ticket, with the
single exception Of Col. John A. Mar
tin, candidate for Governor. Central
Kansas presents his name to the con
ventlon believing that hls nOmina-
tion viii add strength to the Repub-
liean ticket, and that as an officer he
will impart character and vigOr 10 the
administration Of our school system.
