1t will not do, next Monday, to give

does not comprise all that is meritori-
Gus or good in the county. Kiowa town
ship deserves recognition, so does Sha-
ron and Hazelton townshlps-so does
the western and northern portions of
the county. A ticket with the nominees
properly distributed over the county
will win in November. A ticket made
made up wholly of Medicine Lodge
men will not win. We do not desire or
expect to be delegates IN the conven-
ton, but we do expect to be called on to
support the nominees of the convention
and we want the job made as easy and
pleasant as possible. So just remem-
Der that Medicine Lodge is not the
world,
