The Situation in the Big Seventh
District.
Hon. Milton Brown, of Garden City.
while in town this week, informed us
that the impression had gotten about that
he was out of the congressional race in
this district. Brown says he will be at
Dodge City with his delegates, and con-
fidently expects that they will be seated.

".While Hallowell admits that resub-
mission is right says the Wichita four
nal, he has never made bowling ass of
himself on the subject Perhaps Mr..
Hallowell is to be congratulated upon
differing thus much from the rest of his
crowd. But the fact remains that no
man holding resubmission views can OBJ
tain the republican nomination for con-
gress in any Kansas district. .''-Emforia
Republican.
Col. j. NJ. Lewis, of Edwards county,
is making one of the fairest and manly
canvasses of any man in the big
Seventh" district. He will be the choice
of the Dodge City convention on the 3Oth
inst. Col. Lewis is well acquainted with
the wants of the majority of the people
in this district; he is true friend of the
laboring classes; friend to the old SOL
diers and good republican. "-7efmore

"COl. Lewis, of Edwards county, was
in the city yesterday taking view of the
congressional situation. The colonel is
a practical farmer, an active and infiuen-
tial member of the alliance, an old SOL
dier, and in every way fitted for the re-
sponsible position of representative from
the Big Seventh, which has been so well
represented by Mr.. Peters. Should he
secure the prize at Dodge City on the
3Oth, the district will be we'll represent

In Kansas City ar:-'.You bet we are
having lively times in the big Seventh,
but think Jim Hallowell will carry off
the plum. There will be lively race
and the Farmers Alliance will be in it.
We have only one big city in the district,
Wichita, and hence the agricultural ele-
ment is all powerful if it holds together.
j. NJ. Lewis of my city may receive the
alliance nomination, as he is working
hard for it. One thing sure, they can't
down Ingalls, or elect state ticket, al
though they may and probably will send
many representatives to the legislature.
''COlonel j. X. HallOwell, of Wichi-
ia, and Judge Theodore Botkin, of
Springfield, are in the city in close con-
sultation. Both are candidates for con-
gress in the seventh district. Other can
didates hint at combination between
these gentlemen in which one of the two
is to get the nomination. 1t is stated
that Judge Botkin will only have two or
three southwest counties and that there
fore his candidacy is not dangerous
Kansas City Star.
"NO combination that Col. HallOwell
may make will avail him any thing in
the coming convention. The seventh
district is not yet ready to endorse resub-
mission or to 'whoop it up for the demo-
cratic party sfefmore Syfings.
1.-The siren voice of the prospective
candidate is heard in various portions OF
the county, and it is whispered that
kearney county has favOrite son suita-
BILE for dark horse in the Dodge City
race for congressional hOnOrs. lndepen-
dent candidates are sprouting, resubmis-
sionists are Offering to do the Legislative
act and party lines have no control over
the men who always vote the straight
ticket, even in local politics. The hardy
sons of toll who are doing the granger
act need to be thoughtful and keep their
weather eye upon the approaching con-
ventions and coming fall election. The
ballot is strong weapon made use of by
intelligent voters to secure honest and ef-
flcient public servants, and the present
year is one in which the voters of both
county and state should exercise their
God-given privilege with sound judg-
ment and discretion Index.
