is in the legislative body energetically
looking after the interests of the

few days. Mayor Brayton is good
business man and a hard worker, and
his work iR behalf Of the Kay county
cities will do much good. lie is very
popu' ar with the lawmakers and since
his sojourn here has made many warm
friends. The mayor is an ardent sup
porter of the interests of both Black
well and Parker, and whatever legis-
lation results in favor of those places,
will be largely due TO his efforts THE
LEADER few days since printed a
communication in the shape OF resolu-
tions from Parker in which it was al
legged that Brayton was fig ting Bla <

ests OF Parker. The following resolu-
lions will show the falsity of the So
