Hon. J. II. Burton, of Abilene, re-
ceived the nomination for congressman
in the Fifth district by reclamation.
This is a great compliment and bestow-
ed on worthy man. There are few
men in this country of the age Of Mr..
Burton who have such vast and extern
sive political experience. lie has been
most active, as Is his nature, in the
republican party Of Kansas for several
years and has acquitted himself with
great credit in every capacity he has
served II. As an orator he has no
superior In the state and as shrewd

The unanimity OF the Fifth district
convention yesterday In nominating
j. X. Burton for congress is fore
runner Of harmonious campaign and
a triumphant conclusion in November.
Mr.. Burton is 40 years Of age, equipred |
with wit, eloquence, experience IL
debate and the discipline of success
full business life. He is n good lawyer,
u debater Of unusual ability, a man of
quick but Of deliberate action. The
issues Of the campaign are rs familiar
10 MN as the alphabet. Ills debate
with Senator PETER last fall gave him
a prestige that makes his nomination
to John Davis.
IL MIR. Burton is elected to congress
he will be strong fortress in the
house against the slanderers of Kansas.
No man will have to bemoan the want
Of champion and defender of thr
good name Of the state IL Burton il in
the house, and no champion is better
armed with the facts of the states
history to take care Of its reputation.
With a united party behind him,
,heeIed by leadership and confident
IF his ability to win in the present
contest and make competent repre-
sentative in congress, we believe MI.
Burton will be elected by decisive
majority. Such men as Anthony,
Brod6rick, Funston, Charlie Curtis,
Burton and Long will restore the repu-
alton of the state in the house.
