LoBDELL BRINGS NEWS
Of the Growth of the Troutman Move
ment in Western Kansas.

ment IN W 6Sb6ru Kansas
Charles e Lobdeu of Lane county
speaker of the house CT representative
was in Topeka this morning Speaker
Lobdeu is one of the managers of the
Troutman gubernatOrial boom in west
ern Kansas and is very much in favor
of the nomination of the Topeka man.
In talking with Journal reporter
Speaker Lobden said.
tThe Troutman sentiment in the state
is growing stronger every day. Men
who did not look with favor upon the
lieutenant governors aspirations a
month ago, are now enthusiastic over
his canvass. and there is no doubt that
he viii prove a very formidable Oppo-
nent to any other candidate in the state
convention
I'm the western part Of the state the
sentiment. in my judgment is especial
ly friendly to Mr. Troutman, and he has
the best of workers in nearly every
county in the west. The principal rea-
son for the opposition to Governor
Morrill, is about as outlined in the
strong speech made at the Dodge City
appellate convention by Mike Sutton
of that city. Sutton said he attributed
the anti-MorriIl agitation to the fact
that the western part Of the state had
practically been ignored, and that it
had not gotten its just dues from this
administration. Then Morrill's weak
ness has a great deal to do with this
feeling.
When it came to seeking a candi-
date upon whom to unite in case of
opposition to Morrill, we readily took
up MrTroutman because he is a strong
clean man; tied up to no boss, young,
energetic and with but few excep-
tiors the best campaigner in the state.
The sentiment expressed at the
Dodge City convention was almost un-
animOusly in favor of TrOutman and
his appearance was the signal for the
greatest of OvatiOns
"What effect viii the Leland ultima
tum Of the other day have upon the
Troutman bOom2" asked the reporter.
Mr.. Leland's declaration" said the
speaker, lis too recent to permit of the
formation of any definite ideas regard
ing its effect. 1T Will, however, great
Iv weaken Governor MOrrill's candida
cy for a denomination, unquestiOnably.
There is one thing certain, though, it
viii not affect the Iroutman candidacy
nor weaken it in any way
When Mr.. LObdeu was asked about
the statement accredited to Mike Sut-
ton at Dodge City that the latter had
said the short grass country would
receive from Troutman something
more than notarial seals which cost
81 SO, and which was q sartirical refer
ence to the present administration,
Speaker LObdell laughingly said. Mike
might have been putting it rather
strong but that is the sentiment any
way. that Governor Morrill, has not
recognized our part Of the state as Mr.
Tr0utman would"
Speaker LObdeu is dev0ting a good
deal of his time these days to feeling
the public pulse in the short grass
country and is doing good work for
Governor TrOutman in that region
The speaker returned westward this
afternoon, but viii be in Topeka again
next week.
