EDITOR ADvoCATE:-Hsving noticed
the names proposed in your columns for
the nomination for governor upon the
Peoples ticket for the coming campaign,
permit me to offer to the voters Of our
party the name Of Hon. John s. Doolittle,
Of Chase county.
he came to Kansas in 1854, settled on
piece Of land which he developed into
q farm and still remains farmer. He
was twice elected county treasurer and
in 1860 the Legislature, where he fought
CALAMITY for the re enactment Of the re-
demptlon law, for which he incurred the
hostility of the money rings, who decreed
that Mr.. Doollttle should not be returned
to the House again. Their tools In Chase
county saw to it that the order was ex-
ecuted.
When in the fall Of 1890, the people of
Chase county wanted an honest man to
represent them and defend their princi-
Piles and their rights in the coming ses-
sion Of the Legislature they called upon
Mr.. Doolittle, the president of their
county Alliance, to be their candidate.
There Is not member Of the Legisla-
ture Of 1891 who does not know him. He
served during the session in the very re-
sponsible capacity of chairman of the ju-
dietary committee. His duties were
many and extremely difficult, but there
Is not one Of his fellow Representatives
who Is not conversant with the mastery
manner in which he discharged them.
/ believe we need Mr.. Doolittle to head
our ticket this fall, and that he will be
endorsed by the best men of the party
and more feared by the enemy than any
other man In our ranks. / think he win
