NONE BETTER FITTED.
A Strong Endorsement Of Major
Hoods Qualifications.
THE WELSH PEOPLE OF KANSAS

Pronounced in Their Opinion That
Senator.
The Welsh people of the state include
many of the foremost business men and
farmers in Kansas They take the live
liest interest in the practical conduct of
the government
They realize the deplerable condition
in which this country's finances and bus
mess affairs have been placed and believe
the election of such men as Major Hood
to the senate is most important for new
prosperity.
The following letter has been issued to
the Welsh people generally and is signed
by representative men of Emporia and
Lyon county, who mean just what they
say:
The undersigned, representing one Of
the largest Welsh communities in Kan
sas, having known Major Hood for many
years, desire, briefly, to impress you not
only with his many excellent qualifica-
tions as a man. a neighbor and citizen,
but also his ability and especial qualif-
cations for the position of United States
senator, to which place, by the urgent
solicitation of his friends in various parts
of the state he has consented to become
a candidate.
We respectfully invite your co-opera-
ton in his election, because we believe
he is the best equipped man for the duties
of the position that has yet been men
toned. No one will doubt or question
his ability or integrity, and all who
know him will concede that he is
especially fitted by education and
years of experience in business and
financial circles, to render important
service to the state and country in the
proper adjustment and settlement of
those questions having for their object
the greater prosperity of the people. We
believe no man could be chosen United
States senator from Kansas who would
make a more efficient and successful
senator, or who could do the state more
good than Major Hood.
He is a clean and successful fnan cier,
man OF tine address, possessing superior
qualifications for the work to be done.
The country is in deplorable condi-
tion financially, with a deficit of about
$SO,OOO,0O0 annually. Laws will have TO
be enacted providing for a soune but
liberal financial system and for adjust
ing the revenues to meet the necessary
expenditures. We have no man in the
state better fitted to aid in the settlement
of these questions than Major Hood
Aside from the country at large, no
man would do the state more
good through the various departments of
the government than Major Hood.
No man would be more efficient in OBJ
tanning recognition for fair proportion
of our citizens in the government service
than Major Hood.
Believing that in every way the inter
ests of nation and the state would be
best promoted by his election, we re-
specially ask that you join with his fell
low citizens in Emporia and other parts
of the state in securing the election of
Major Calvin Hood for United States
