Seventh congressional district or Of South
ern Kansas. There was no frost here.
No apathy or antipathy existed. The wea-
ther, which has been threatening for sew
eral days. changed front yesterday. The
sun shone brightly. Farmers came from
every nook and corner of the county. The
city people turned out generously in the
afternoon, and nearly all OF them in the
evening. 1t was a great day.
The speakers who captivated Kingman
county and made such an impression,
/ which, coupled with already ripe condi-
tons. will make the county ride in the
Republican band wagon this fail. were in
the afternoon, Ches er 7. Long and w z.
Stanley. and in the evening. l. E. Lam
bert.
Mr. Long Mr.. Stanley, and Mr. Lam
bert came in in the morning from Pratt.
/ Chairman Morton Albaugh Of the Repub-
lican state central committee. came in
! from Topeka simultaneously. A!baugh
( lives herr. Mr.. Stanley and Mr.. Long each
proved his mixing qualities by going the
( rounds Of the town in the forenoon. They
made friends anew and renewed old ac-
/ quaintances. Mr.. Stanley was enthusiasts
/ tically received, and Mr.. Long was no less
so. Meanwhile Mr.. Albaugh. the Republi-
OF Republicans besides, from all over
/ Kingman county. met and compared re-
/ can county central committee and score
| ports. Enthusiasm prevailed. Most graf
! flying reports were made. The spirit pre-
vailing was sufficient to show that Repub-
/ licanism and Americanism are In the very
air this year. Compared with the fact of
Populist apathy, it is not at all strange
/ for discerning person to predict Repub
/ lican victory this fall.
In the afternoon the band met on the
main business corner Of the town and gave
many pleasing airs TO the assembled popu-
lace, finally leading the way to the big
opera house, which rapidly filled.
Mr.. Long spoke first. In the beginning
he said:
''It is not necessary for me 70 be intro
duced to a Kingman county audience. 1t
was here, in tbs very house that my trou-
bic began. 1t was here I was nominated
the gfirst time for congressman in 1892
Il have made this campaign, including
the present one. four times against my
present opponent. He was elected in 1892;
I was elected in 1894; he was elected in 1896,
and it is my turn TO be elected in lS9S."
Speaking Of the great issue of expan-
sion. Mr.. Long said:
"Our congressman thinks the same rule
as applied to Cuba should be applied TO
Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands I
do not. The Intervention resolution stated
that we did not hav- any desire TO take
Cuba. bu said nothing about Poro Rico
and the Philippines because these latter
islands were not taken decentralization
when that resolution was adopted BY the
terms Of the protocol. Porto Rico has been
ceded 10 us. a week ago our flag went up
there and I am in favor of keeping it
there as long as it is in Kansas. We have
al least Mania Bay and Manila. and am
IN favor of keeping them and and all We
can get.
What strange political bed fellows this
new question makes. Who would have
thought Two years ago that Grover Cleve-
land and W. J. Bryan would eve get to-
geJher on any gu Stion? And did any Of
you ever think that you would live 10 see
the day when John Sherman and our cor
gresham would stand Joge,her2 Yet here
they are. lined up against the policy Of
the national administration.
