Topeka, kas,. Aug. l3.-tSpecial.) One OF
the elements which contributed to the nom

Council Grove, for lieutei0nt governor, was
the knowledge that he is German and
speaks that language well as he does
English. The Germans of Kansas are for
the greater part stalwart Republicans, W ho
feel they are entitled to Representatives
upon the state ticket. The state central
committee has alredy received several re-
quests from German settlements over the
state for speeches from Senator Richter,
and appointments will soon be made for
him.
