A STRONG TICKET.
Sheriff Horse Predicts An Easy Triumph For
The Sumner county Repupblican ticket.

Sheriff Orie Morse of Sumner county
was in the city last night having come up
after the burglars who robbed the store at
| Conway Springs Saturday night last.
| Being questioned about the local politics
of Sumner county Orie brought his bran
new straw hat down on the reportical
table with force enough to stun all the
cockroaches about it and said: 1--WE
| nominated yesterday one the strongest
| Republican tickets ever nominated in
| Sumner county and we will elect it by a
| majority OF not less than 700 fusion or
| no fusion. lie tell you the party did itself
| proud. All internal jealousnes which may
! have been created in the past were forgot
en- and every delegate had only one ambi-
ton and that was to nominate men only
VINO have the utmost confidence
OF the people. And that they
| secceeoed is eviyeuced by the
| fact that it is now generally admitted
by the most radical in the opposition that
the ticket is well nigh impossible to beat.
In addition to putting up a strong ticket
the party was wise enough to put up and
elect man for chairman that has no SUI
perior In the state in the line of ability to
manage camdaign, and that man is
John I. Sanders, who held the responsible
office of probate judge for four years.
The party made no mistake in anything.
The ticket nominated is: Robert L. ST.
mons for senator, w. S. Whittinghill for
county attorney j. ID. Simpson for pro-
bate judge, Warren Wollem for district
clerk, and Mrs. NJ. NJ Carson for superin-
tendent of public instruction. Colonel
Simons is the editor of the Caldwell News,
gentleman of brains and industry and one
whose character is as clean as the proven
bal new pin. When he gets through with
Gil Forniey the latter will think he was
at the swiftest horse race he ever saw.
Slmons stands at par with the farmers and
always above par with the business men,
for he has labored hard on every occasion
to attract the attention of capital to Sum
ner county. WhittinghIll was the de-
feated Republican candidate two years
ago The Alliance at that time elected p.
V. &. Pool. Well to be very brief about
it they will do penance for that act of folly
this year by voting for Whittinghill
which every one of them believes in his
heart he ought to do before. Simpson
and Wollem are both farmers and stand
very high in their respective communities.
Mrs. Carson is probably the
brightest woman in Sumner
county She has been at the |
head of the Wellington school, and they
are ranked among the best schools in the
state, for eight or nine years. To demon
strate her strength with the people it is |
only necessary to state that she was nomi- |
mated almost unanimously two years ago |
by the Alliance, but refused the nomina- |
ton for the reason that she was Repub- |
lican aud too regardful of her conscience |
to run under false oolors Yes sir, you |
can say, and you wont miss it very much. |
that the Republican ticket will be elected |
in Sumner county this year by not less |
than an average majority of 200.
Speaking about crops Mr.. Moorse said |
that Sumner county will maintain her
usual place at the top this year in that
respect. He stated that a drenchiug rain
fell all over the county yesterday after
noon which insures big corn crop beyond
A doubt.
