David Martin for associate Justice
Is the nomination Of this eminent jsr-
list and the turning down Of Associate

Rumor has it that this is the demand
which viii be made upon the PopuIisr

new party which gave enough votes to
the Populist ticket TO make its calling

free silver Republicans the nominal

David Martin is to be rewarded
Tt is understood that the Shawnee
county free silver Republican courin-
gent started this movement a month

The claim IS made that Judge Martin
would add strength to the ticket and
bring TO it the support Of thousands of
Republicans in the state who adhere to
the national policy.
If there is TO be a general tearing up
in the next P0puIisr state convention,
the friends OF Judge Martin viii be
around to see that his name goes On the

The free silver Republicans say the
people of Kansas owe Judge Martin a
debt OF gratitude for the fight he has
