Colonel John w. Forney Of Sumne
county was in the city yesterday. hav
| ing come UP to attend to some legal bu
siDeSs.
If every Republican in Kansas Wa:
as enthusiastic as Colonel Forney tht
state would go Republican by 50. 900 ma
jority. He is not enthusiastic merely
because ne wants 10 see Republican sue
cess. but because he believes IN IL.
He is as confident that the state will
go for Mckinley and Morrill, and that
the district will go for Chester 1. Long
as that the sun will rise on the day OF
election. He believes that that sterling
citizen John Pollock, will be elected
appellate court judge. and he has no
doubt that Sumner county will elect
one Republican senator. two Republi-
can representatives and the entire
county ticket by from 300 to 500 majority
He said he had read Judge johnson 5
remarks, hkening this unto the Gree
ley campaign and he believed with him.
II, too, remember that campaign" said
Colonel Forney, land it commenced and
opinion that Mckinley will beat Bryan
almost as bad as Grant beat Horace
Greeley"
Mr.. Forney is very much interested in
the fight for representative in the south
district Of his county, the district in
which S. T. Tuttbe is the Republican
nominee for representative. 81 believe
Sol viii win said ne yesterday. He
speaks in the highest terms of Mr..
Tuttle and he thinks It would be a.
great injustice TO the district to beat
him there.
Speaking about farming, Colonel For
ney said that the ground in Sumner
county was in fine shape for Flowing
and that an immense acreage of wheat
will be put In this year.
Shortly after the reporter left Colonel
Forney be met Captain Curry, a prom
inent farmer and stock raiser of Cof-
fey county. Mr.. Curry brought good
news from that section. Cuffey coun-
ty and every township in it will give an
increased Republican ma jority and so,
he thinks will Woodson county. He
thinks, however, that the state will be
close as between Bryan and Mckinley,
but he does not fear the election of the
state officers, congressman, or a ma
jority of the senator's and representa-
tives.
J. H. Franklin was up from Clark
county and was seen at the Carey. He
says the election in that county is red
hot and is centered on the representa-
tive. Harry Bone is again the Repub-
lean candidate and he Will be elected.
The voting population of Clark county
is no greater than a precinct in Wich-
ita and, of course, it is a very easy mat
ter to ascertain how they stand. Both
sides have made a poll of the county
and Mr.. Bone is several good lengths
ahead He will have a majority of at
least forty votes. His record in the
two years ago helped him.
Over in the Neosho district they have
also a hard fight. Charlie Cox is run
ming for the legislature again and the
has put up a good stiff
opposition to him. Mr.. Cox, however,
has a fine Legislative record and it is
helping him wonderfully. He sent over
for OTTO Eckstein to help him out and
Mr.. Eckstein left last night TO make
speech at Chanute. He promised to
with Mr.. EckStein but it is
rot deemed necessary for him to leave
MS district and come over here. Mr..
E2ckstein's election in this county IS as
,ured.
