The republicans of Dickinson county
are evidently in the field to win this
year and judging from the proceedings
of the county convention held to-
day in the court room there is
little doubt of the outcome-particu-
larly if the spirit manifest at present is
kept up until November.
There was sent in from the various
precincts of the county a wide awake
and enthusiastic body of men; they
we're men who believe in prosperity
and progress-who have no sympathy
with calamity cries or wild financial
schemes. They are friends of Kansas
and of all her people and believe that
class legislation is an enemy of public
welfare. As they took their places in
the convention they showed in every
syllable uttered, every action taken, an
earnest determination to 60 into the
campaign for victory and to elect tri-
umphantly the ticket named. The
best men of their respective commu-
mites were there and any party might
be proud to have il said that they were
its members.
