ABOUT
KANSAS.
Caldwell News (ReD.):
II develops more and more


closer than a box of saTdlnes for Chester
I. Long. The ring ruled all other candi-
dates out, but time will tell.
Anthony Republican: Superintendent
Webb McNall has made one good ruling,
that Is, all insurance companies doing
business In this State must pay the mar
ket value Of all live stock killed by
lightning insured by them; no pro rating
allowed.
Clay Center Dispatch (Pop.): The
Lincoln Beacon announces that the Pop
ulists OF Lincoln county will place Will
liam Baker In nomination for Governor
at the coming convention. Baker is all
right, but 1t is down on the bills that
Governor Leedy Is to be his own success
sor
Wellington Voice (Pop.): The old
soldiers Of Kansas are beginning to think
Commissioner Evans is about to out
Hoke Hoke Smith. Can such things be
possible under a Republican adminis-
tratlon? There will undoubtedly be a
change In the tone Of the speeches at the
eRcampments and reunions this summer
The old soldier has run up against the
Wall street elephant and this time we
imagine he will recognize him.
Lyndon Herald (Pop): 1t would take
large-sized volume to record all the
good things accomplished by General
Boyle and Superintendent McNall. The
record, In the coming campaign, will be
the best evidence, and 1t will speak for
itself. And the Governor, by whose aid,
encouragement and direction this record
has been made up will receive his full
share of the plaudits of grateful peo-
pie,
Lawrence World (Rep): There Is a
general kick going up over the artificial
part OF the Republican State central
committee assuming to be the whole
thing. The consensus Of opinion Is that
Senator Sterne made a mistake in trying
TO buck the combination. He ought to
have known better. Mr.. Leland will not
have the next State central committee
but he has the present one and has pad
ded 1t to suit himself The party ought
to have learned lesson.
Lyndon Herald (Pop.): II we were
a Republican we would support John
Hessin, OF Manhattan, for Governor. A
long acquaintance with him Is our justi-
tlcation for saying that II ability and
integrity count for anything he will re-
Celve the nomination. Mr.. Hessin is a
clean man, is the best all around lawyer
IN the State, Is positive in his conVic-
tions, would be chief executive in fact;
In brief, outside Of his politics, there is
no better material In the State.
Osborne Farmer (Rep.): Some few
individuals and number OF newspa-
pers are wondering what the Sixth dis
trict Republican convention will do on
the money question. There is only one !
thing to do, and that Is the right thing |
and the popular thing. The Republicans |
OF this district will endorse the sound !
money plank of the st. Louis platform |
Amy other course would be political |
suicide. The United States voted to sus- |
tain sound money In 1896, and the events |
transpiring since that time have greatly
strengthened the growing sentiment in
favor Of the gold standard.
Edward Wilder Treasurer of the Santa
re: have passed through western Kan |
sas az least tonce everyyear since became |
identified with the Santa Fe, but never |
saw that portion Of the State looking so |
well as 1t Is at present. was surprised |
at the herds Of cattle now quartered in |
the western counties, and the land not /
used fur pasturlng purposes is practically |
all In cultivation. To all appearances |
the prospects for the year in the western
part OF the State, and Of course in the
central and eastern portions, are excel
lent for this year, | feel more thor
0ughly satisfied with Kansas than ever
before, notwithstanding the fact that l
Baw Arizona and California at their best
during the past two weeks.
Manhattan Republic (Pop.): In an
swer to numerous inquiries the Republic !
40 most emphatically OF the opinion that
Governor Leedy will be renominated,
and with him more than likely the en-
A.... eltaAn on. l..l.A..aL
