Next Saturday the Republicans OF
Shawnee county Will be given an op-
portunity of expressing their choice
for county officers and as nomination
means election it is really the crucial
test
There are three representatives 10 pc

district comprising the Second, Lhlfa
and Fourth wards of the city ana one ln
the south county district which also
includes POtwin. Auburndale anu the
Filth ward of the city Of Iopeka-
The first thing the Repucicans of
Shawnee county want to kno" IS Wnlcn
If any of the candidates "lI Nole 1o-
j r. Burton for United states s-1l- lol.
The party In this county is determined
I'm it's stand against Burton In lle
north district there are three canal-
dates N. c. Holman being In the lead.
He is q good citizen and successlul
business man and no mistake Will De
made fin nominating Mr.. Holman 6te
has expressed himself for ingalls, and
he is also On record as opposed TO the
fee system and i'm favor OF placing all
county offices on salaries MT. Holman
made an enviable record as council
man and there is every reason 10 re-
lieve that he VIII make as good q rep
resetative as he did a councilman The
other candidates are A. i. Brooks and
IT, NJ james
In the city district there are also
three candidates and here too, the SEN
atQrial question figures r. ~ Ac-
IEeever one of the brightest young
lawyers in Topeka is the only one ot the
three who boldly announces that he IS
not for Burton but for ingalls, and that
fact, if mo other has placed him in tine
lead The people sent a. Burton man
to the legislature two years ago and
they do not propose TO make the same
mistake again. The man who rnlSrep-
re~ents tho people once should not ask
their suffrages the second time MI
MckeeVer VIII make a good represen-
ratiVe and he viii take front rank
among the members Tor he is an able
speaker and has sufficient energy to
make his presence felt. The other can
didates are Col. George wv. Neale and
G. G. Baker.
III the south representative district

ticular feature of the contest is that
All three are ingalls, men. COl.Hughes
emphatically denies that he has made
any Qicker with the Burton supporters
He says he is pledged TO no one though
ingalls, is his personal preference. H.
c. Larimer is a pronounced ingalls,
man and so is A. 3. Jones. Jones
started to make his race on the issue
of the dairy interests, but all the cam
didates are in favor of the same meas
ures and that leaves him without an
The opposition to Senator W. ID
Gterne is not pronounced. He did more
LDL L0DEka ana shawnee county than
was even hoped when he was elected.
In q senate where the majority We're
EopullSrs. he managed by the greatest
diplomacy to scure what the county
needed i'm face of the greatest Opp0si-
ton. There has been some opposition to
Mr.. Sterne among a number of working
men, but Mr. Sterne viii be certain to
work for any reasonable measure they
desire in the coming legislature if its
objects are made clear to him No d0ubt
g pledge o1 this kind can be secured if
Though Senator Sterne SIS not here the
people VIII take care of his CAMPAIGN
g. P- Bulmar is the opposing candidate.
MT Bolmar is q capable gentleman but
can scarcely rally sufficient strength at
this time to insure his election
