The Comanche delegation to tn
Seventh district congressional convention
was instructed for Lewis. The county ha
six delegates.
If the opposition at Kansas City coulC
get man named Jamaica Ginger to ruI
against Mr. SeidIitz they could beat hin
in trice this kind of weather.
Funston has the delegation from Linz
county. This will kind @ catch the
breath of those fellows who are fighting
Funston for the popularity of the thing.

at ten cents per bushel last year is prepar

Mr.. Swensson, the congressional aspirant
of the Seventh district, is in Europe Mr..
Swensson's silence during the campaign
for his nomination has been the most Wig
orous probably of any in Kansas history.

Gratis of the Sixth district will not nomi-
nate a man for congress but will join the
farmers on Baker. Congressman Turner
is not worrying over his failure to get the
nomination as much as he was.
Senator Ingalls, says the announcement
that he would be with the colored people

to prevent the nomination being thrust
upon him?

est and do right gets lots more kicks and
cuffs than the demagogue and thief. " saws

as the honest man. The difference is that
the feelings of a rascal are invulnerabIe.
