PEOPLE REACHED BY WICHITA.

1t takes territory TO make a city. The
time was when his community had a
thousand reasons for their belief that
Wichita was the coming future great
city, and no amount of argument could
convince them to the contrary. AS a
matter of fact Wichita is seven years
nearer to the realization of what her
most ardent advocates believed would
be her destiny, and today has a great
deal that she did not then possess.
Commercial centers are built because
there is a demand for them. Large
towns have been built upon purely
manufacturing interests and have
been located at out-of-the-wa places,
but trade centerS are built because
they are necessary and rendered so by
the growth and development of the
country, and this leads us to note that
Wichita has more territory tributary
to her than many cities of many times
her size. The country that pays tri-
butte, and is bound to continue to pay
tribute to Wichita has a population of
twenty times that of our city and cap

to reach which will require many times
its present population. With general
prosperity throughout the country
there can be no question as TO the
growth and development of Wichita
and the southwest While Wichita is
conceded a good health resort the
time is coming when she will be
known rs a wealth resort, and those
who come here to buy homes and
property will be able to make splendid

energetic people and success is bound
to crown our efforts

OTTO ECKSTEIN.

Tact and good political sense. tOgeth-
er with a chain of fOrtitous circum-
stances have made the presen year a
prosperous one for the Republicans.
From all appearances the party, while
not disposed to make mistakes, cannot
fall into errors even unwittingly.
The Republicans of the Sixty
seventh district, who yesterday noml-
mated Otto Eckstein for the place
made vacant by the death of Major
Lawrence, have pleased the citizens
of Sedgwick county and Wichita Mr.
Eckstein is a man who. if elected, VIII
prove himself a factor and an active,
energetic factor in the next leSIsia-
ture. His personal reputation Is good,
his ability as a lawyer is unquestion-
ed, his knowledge of parliamentary law
exact and far-reaching, and the people
of the Sixty-seventh district send him
to the legislature they will soon IND
that they are represented in the leg
islature by q man who commands in
slant and undivided attention the
minute he arises to his feet: man who
will push all the measures he advo-
Gates through the legislative mill, by
his great tact and personal pluck: a
man who will be perfectly cogniZant OF
what is going on in the ail-impordnt
committee rooms; and man who Is
thoroughly imbued with pride in Wich-
tia and her citizens, as well as those OF
Sedgwick county.
He does not owe his nomination to
any clique or any clique's jobbery.
His candidacy to the place was
thought of in a day and consumated IN
another. His sole desire is to repre-
sent the wishes Of the people of the
Sixty-seyenth district, and if mental
acumen, personal honesty, and good
old German independence of action
and thought count for anything Otto
Eckstein will ill the bill better prob
ably than any other man who might
have been named
Liberal i'm all his opinions and intOl-
Grant in none. he is at once the friend
and champion of every iaboring man,
every merchant, every farmer in the
Sixty-seventh district.
The Republicans of that district were
proud of Major Lawrence. He was a
superior man. and the voters accepted
him as such over all other candidates
and elected him. His death made 1t
incumbent on the party to place before
the voters a man equally as capable
and in nominating Otto Eckstein, they
have bowed to this duty.
For no man in Sedgwick county is
more conversant with the desires of
the people and more capable of attain
ing the needs and realizing the wishes
of that constituency than he. Every
citizen regardless of party who has
the interests of Wichita and Sedgwick
county at heart should vote for him.
