~ d representative CONVENTION Oh ne
publican citizens in the Garfield hall
yesterday.
II is the unanimous desire Of the peo-
pie 10 see entrenchment practriced in
municipal affairs during these times of
stringency. The ticket nominated yes
terday is guaranty that the wishes
of the people will be carried out
All over town and among people Of
all political faith the strength of the
ticket is acknowledged. but TO prepare
for next falls election the Democrats
and Populists Will nominate a ticket
under the guise of citizens movement
Under ordinary circumstances they
could not possibly elect it but there is IA
probability of over confidence on the
part of Republicans and they may not
register and turn out TO the polls for
that reason. IN that event Il fusion
ticket may get some strength. This
is the hope Of the Populists and Dem
ocrates and in pursuance of that hope
they viii nominate a citizens ticket.
Never in the history of the city mas
there been such a representative con-
Vention held.
The business men Of Wichita PIE
dominated and the ticket itself is The
best possible evidence Of the fact that
the machine politicians had been turned
down at the primaries.
