spoken before This morning we produce
a large number of short favorable notices

Hon. Rodolph Hatfield, who represented
the giant Young city of Wichita in the legis-
lature in 1885 and 1886, and has been honor
ed with reelection TO the next one, is be-
ing widely mentioned over the state for
speaker of the house. 1t Is claimed for Mr..
Hatfield that he has the requisite high char
acter, thorough education, knowledge OF law,
experience and even temperament essential
TO the model presiding officer. At his hands
we believe the speakership would be charac-
terized by fairness lmpartiality and dignity,
rejecting lasting honor upon the state and
the Republican party-and not be Used as a
