DAIRYMAN OTIS was turned down
at the Peoples convention at Empor-
ia Tuesday, and DIR. Z. V. Wharton,
of Yates Center, nominated in his
place. DIR. Wharton is the man who
made feeble and wandering address
of ten minutes before the Peoples con-
vention in lola last Saturday. 1t is
the only kind of an address he can
make, and his nomination for Cong
ress gives Charlie Curtis the biggest
snap of any man in Kansas.

SOME REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

SOME REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.
The calling of the County and Sena-
tOrial Conventions makes the an
nOuncement of candidates in order,
several will accordingly be found in
this issue.
FOR STATE SENATOR.
The formal announcement of the ed
itOr of this paper as a candidate for
the office of State Senator appears in
its proper place in this issue. Con-
corning this candidacy the REGISTER
prefers to make no comment, being
satisfied to leave it to the judgment of
the Republican voters of this district
who are best qualified to know wheth-
er, by service to the party or by per-
sOnal qualifications, it is entitled TO
their favorable consideration.
FOR COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
H. III. Jones, whose announcement
for this office appears in this issue,
was born in Illinois some thirty or so
years ago. He came with his parents
to Kansas in 1880 and settled in Usage
township which has ever since been
his home. He has been engaged for
six years in school work, going to
school and teaching. He has spent
one year in Baker University and
nearly two years in the State Normal
school at Emporia. During the past
year he has taught in the Teachers
Training School at Emporia. The re-
mainder ofhis teaching has been done
in Allen county and the advancement
he has made is shown by the fact that
his first term was taught with third
grade certificate, his second term with
a second grade, and his third term
with first grade while he has now
completed all the studies which are
required to entitle him to a State GER
tificate.
Mr.. Jones is young man of eXem-
plary character and of serious aims.
He has a high ideal of the duties and
responsibilities of the office he seeks
and he would bring eminent fitness to
the discharge of its duties.
FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY.
J. Q. Roberts, one the candidates
for county attorney, was born in
Washington county. Ind, p years
ago. His parents came to Allen
county, Kansas, 16 years ago and set
tied in Elsmore township. He made
his home with them, working on the
farm, until four years ago, when he
began teaching school. He took up
the study of law at the same time. /
and after reading for about two years
he went to Indiana where he studied
for nearly year i'll the Office of Judge
Voyles. He was admitted TO the bar 4
in Indiana, but Immediately returned .
to Kansas and entered into practice at
Moran. a few weeks ago he formed
partnership with S. A. Gard and he
is now located in lola, with offices in I
the REGISTER building.
The remarkable advancement made .
by Mr.. Roberts during the past four
years shows that he has big head
filled with a very rare quality of
brains, and while his experience is
necessarily somewhat limited no one

one else go in his place. 1t is too bad that MI
Blaine should by the action of the last few days
cast a shadow on such brilliant career as his
has been. We believe his resignation under the

Grant Billie tears himself away
from his corn field long enough to tell
us to announce his name as a oandi-
date for County Superintendent. Mr..
Billbe was born in Illinois, but got
away from there as soon as he could,
coming to Kansas with his parents
when only years old. Since that
time, with the exception of year or
two spent away at school, he has been
a resident of the neighborhood west of
the river, and has divided his time be-
tween farming and going to school
and teaching. He was educated in
the district schools and the State Nor
NAL, and has taught every year since
1882. His experience as a teacher.
both in district and high school work,
and his great energy and ambition,
admirably equip him for the duties of
the office he seeks.
l.. l.. Carter only missed being NOM
mated four years ago by scratch,
and so thinks it is his turn this time.
Mr.. Carter was born in Allen county,
or might as well have been, having
lived here for 26 years. He didn't
seem to have much of a show for an
but he managed to get one
somehow, by working himself through
the Fort Scott Normal and the State
Normal. He has had u years exper-
fence as a teacher, six of which have
been in the advanced schools of lola,
Moran and Geneva. He has also been
county examiner for four years and
has thus become familiar with a part
