Garden City Imprint;-The Republican
state ticket nominated a Hutchinson last
week is regarded as one of the strongest
that could have been selected. II seems
TO meet with favor among all shades Ct
politicians, and Will prove a sure winner.
Kinsley Mercury:-Nelther Billy Sterne
nor Cy Leland nor any of the other
bosses" had anything to do with the
nomination Of Stanley Leland was for
Hood. Sterne for Hessin. and the nomina-
ton was made before any of them got
onto the wagon. The ticket from top 70
bottom IS a splendid one. There is not a
weak man on the ticket and every indi-
cation points TO success this fall While
a stiff fight was put up by the various
candidates there was no III feeling and no
sore places when the convention was
over The party is united. harmonious
and enthusiastic. The plat form is an ex-
cellant one and the future looks very
hopeful.
Minneapolis Messenger-The Wichita
Eagle is saying some mighty nice things
about the candidates for governor who
failed TO make terminal facilities at
Hutchinson. and the best thing about
them is that everyone of them is de-
serving.
Ness County News:-Reform politicians
are now expanding their energies in de-
vising wonderful stories about the serious
mistakes made by the Republican state
convention in selecting its candidates.
They do not get 1t through the impene-
trable walls of their think-box that the
ticket was put up for the purpose of APP
peaiing to the good judgment of sensible
people and not 10 please shystering poll
ticians.
Medicine Lodge Crescent:-The nomina-
ton of W. e. Stanley for governor seems
to be meeting with favor all over the
state among Republicans and the better
element Of what was once the Democratic
party will give him q hearty support
Ft. Scott Lantern:-The Republicans
put up a fine ticket at Hutchinson last
week. The fixers were left In the cold
and the people triumphed. Stanley gives
promise Of being a winning candidate.
There are other positive clements Of win
ming strength on the ticket aside from
the head of the ticket The people are
demanding man for governor VINO viii
do right This has been very clearly
demonstrated by their refusing to re-elect
men who failed 10 do the right in their
first terms. The people Of Kansas are
law-abading people and they demand that
all laws shall be enforced alike They
do not want man for governor who will
set himself up as judge on law and say
will not enforce this law because it
does not suit me. Neither do the people
demand that a governor shall step aside
to enforce special law over all other
laws, but they want him to enforce the
special law just the same as all other
laws, no more. but also not one bit less.
Topeka Capital:-Mr Stanley will put
some ginger into the campaign this wear
that will make it notable in recent Kan
sas history. He is one Of the best speak
ers in the state, eloquent. magnetic and
full Of tact and vinegar. John A. Martin
was not a strong campaigner on the
stump. Humphrey was a poor taiker.
Smith was not a natural orator. MorriI
was never cut out for a public speaker.
Stanley is the only natural campaign or
ator Republicans have nominated for gov
arnor since ST. John. nearly twenty years
ago.
Dlghton Herald:-The Republican ticket
nominated a Hutchinson last week is
of good material throughout.
The candidates are all good clean men /
men who command the respect and good
will Of their neighbors, irrespective OF I
politics. men Of honesty and ability, who +
will conduct a vigorous campaign and /
who will, if elected, give US wise and |
administration During the
campaign we shah have more to say OF /
the candidates and their special fitness (
To- the various positions they will be 4
chosen TO I'LL For the present suffice (. !
10 say the nominations appear to be sat /
sfactory 10 the rank and file Of the par /
y, and everything now indicates a g.or-
Gus victory next November
