The populist congressional conven,
tion for the 9TH district will be held
at Larned August Sth. It appears
that the Wichita crowd Is trying to
turn down Jerry Simpson and nomi-
nate Lewelling; but it is our opinion
that Jerry would be the strongest
man they could nominate. In this
part of the state he would get two
votes to dwellings one.

MCKINGLEY is dumb on the money
question. If he thinks the American
voters are dumb enough TO vote for
a man this year who has not the
courage to say where he is at, he will
be somewhat dumfounded when the
votes are counted out this fall.

For the first time since the civil war
the American people have witnessed
the calamitous consequences of full
and restricted democratic control OF
the government. It has been a record
Of unparalleled incapacity, dishonor
and disaster. In administrative man.
agement 1t has ruthlessly sacrificed in
dispensable revenue, entailed an I'M

and wages. halted enterprise and Grip

Every consideration Of public safety

the government shall be rescued from

themselves incapable to conduct Il

Willin Mckinley Growti

Major Mckinley has grown on the
country in the ten weeks since he was
nominated as has no other presidential
candidate in our day.
Prejudice existed against him. He
a believed, wrongly, to be a man of
one idea. His tariff speeches, loaded
with argument. full of facts and dense
with figures had raised the impression
that he was a dull speaker. His Just
and %judicious silence. prior to his NOM
nation, exactly the silence maintained
by Lincoln under like circumstances,
was falsely construed to show that he
was doubtful on the currency question.
How completely all this has disap-
peared! How wholly 1t has vanished!
Confronted with a new Issue, Major
Mckinley has mel it c]ourageously and
triumphantly. His letter Of acceptance
Is the best, clearest and most convinc-
ing sound money argument yet present
ed. His short speeches have sparkled
with short sentences which caught the
attention and convinced the mind OF
the public. They have beef apt. ready,
eloquent and digniied. Major McKin-
ley has said nothing below the high
post he holds as the standard-bearer
of a national party. He has made no
partisan appeals. He has uttered no
embittered invective. No class appeals
have sullied the strength Of his argu-
ment or the vigor of his logic. He Is
right. He knows he is right. With
each speech he goes q little further in
convincing the country of the fact. The
great cause with which he is associat-
ed he has never forgotten. hut he has
