wick county men. No matter who they
have declared for from that county, ouI
citizens have always rendered them cor
dial support. When Murdoch ran for the
nomination for Governor. the votes Of
Ford county were voted for him to the
last. When the State Central Committee
met at Topeka to select place to hold
the State convention on March 10th, Ford
county's representative did valiant service
in the interest of Wichita aud his vote
decided the contest in favor of that city.
The Dodge City boys had reason to ex-
pect something from Sedgwick county.
but the combine was strong and word had
been sent to the Chairman Of the dele
CATION, Gen. Murray Meyers, that break
in Sedgwick county would ruin the COM
bination, and the Dodge City man would
be elected, and against the protest of
portion of the delegation Mr.. Meyers
arose and cast the solid vote of Sedgwick
county for Bone. This elected MIR. Bone
and the interests of the combine were
served.
After the election Of the delegates they
were called to the platform and we're re-
ceived with only moderate enthusiasm.
Then there went cries from all parts Of
the building calling. "Mike. Mike, Mike.
speech by Nike And Sutton, amidst
unbOunded enthusiasm, was escorted to
the platform, where he made one of his
charactistic speeches and became the pop
ular hero of the hour.
The fight has demonstrated the strength
that Sutton possesses in the Seventh con-
gressionai district, and particularly in
the western portion of it. His friends
were loyal to him at the conyention and
are loyal TO him now. He is recognized
as man who is owned and controlled
by no body, hut who is possessed of in
dividual force in this district and in the
state. The counties of Finney, Ford,
Grant, Gray. Greeley, Hamilton, Haskell,
Pawnee, Kingm,n, Ki"wa, Rice, Seward,
Stafford. Stevens and Wichita voted their
solid vote for him. While the counties
of Barber, Barton, Edwards, Harvey, Nc
PhersOn, Ness, Pratt, Reno, Rush, Ness
and Summer gave him divided support.
The Ford county delegation have re-
turned feeling that their defeat was in
effect victory that they have succeeded
in building up and strengthing senti
ment in the western portion of the dis
trict thar is bound to bear fruit in the
future, and that they have added to the
popularity of their candidate. 1t was &C
knowledged upon all sides that Mike
Sutton emerged from the fight, though de-
feated, with greater honors than those
who won. Ford county should feel CRATE
full to the answering loyalty to the men
Of the western portion of the district and
to those from the eastern portion who
stood so loyalty for their man against the
combination.
almost unanimous indignation against
the outrage that was perpretrated by the
Sedgwick county delegation in voting
against MIR. Sutton. Otto Eckstein, a
member of the legislature from Sedgwick
county, and one of the strongest and
brightest men of the eastern part of the
district, openly and publicly denounced
the action of the Sedgwick county dele
cation as violation Of good faith and as
an outrage upon friends and neighbors,
who had always been loyal to Wichita.
And personal alteration between him
and the chairman was only prevented by
the earnest efforts of their mutual friends.
1t was conceded that the most unpopular
men in Wichita on Monday evening was
the Sedgwick county delegation at the
congressional convention.
There are no sore spots upon the boys
from Dodge City. They have always been
loyal republicans and are loyal yet, and
will continue to be so throughout the
campaign, and all Republicans of the
county should stand shoulder to shoulder
toward securing great victory for the
Republicans in the coming campaign.
Our candidate has taken the chances of
battle and has lost, so far only as to the
particular honors sought were concerned.
He energies from the fight stronger, more
popular and better equipped for the
battles of the future.
