didn't recover from the shock for an hour

It was a royal Dewey battle, that lined

Kansas never witnessed such a conven-

Uration Of a new political era in the state.

MAKING No MISTAKES.

Newton Kansan: W. E. Stanley OF
Wichita will be the next governor OF
Kansas. The Republican state convention
at Hutchinson yesterday so decided. A
better choice could not have been made.
1t means that jerry Simpson will be de-
feated in the Seventh congressional dis
trct.
Il means that Kansas will be redeemed
by the Grand Old Party.
1t means that Kansas will once more
gain the respect of its neighbors.
1t means that corruption IN state OFF,
ces will cease.
The recognition OF this portion OF the
state Of Kansas in selecting rs chief ex-
ecutive will never be regretted by the
eastern counties, who are little too apt
to desire to hog things. Western and
southern Kansas has never asked for
more than wos due it. In fact it has new
er grumbled particularly because it was
sighted. It always worked Just as hard
and gave as much time and money to
the campaign with the whole ticket from
eastern Kansas as if the candidates had
come from the west of the Sixth princi-
pal meridian.
There will be no question about the
election of Mr.. Stanley in November.
The people of Kansas will elect him by
a larger majority than any governor has
received since the halcyon days when
Kansas was the banner Republican state
of the Union.
The Republicans of Kansas are making
no mistakes this year. They are profit |
ing by the experience of blunders of pre-
vious years. Republicanism and prosperity
are synonymous terms nowadays and
Kansas will be in the band wagon mighty |
soon.

STANLEY AND
1.-THE PRESS

There is snap about the way in which
W. z. Stanley's campaign mas started off
which is unprecedented not only in Kan
sas. but in al western states. When it
is remembered that he was nominated
but three days ago. the flood of congrat-
ulatory letters now pouring IN upon him
IS wonderful.
And the spontaneous endorsement Of his
nomination by the press of the state. ex-
amples of which is given below. is clearly
gratifying 20 Wichita and her honored
son.

were such as Will draw to him the conf
dence Of his party. L may carry the
standard of leadership which you have
given me into the depths of defeat" said
Mr.. Stanley. "or 1 may place it upon the
battlements of victory; but promise you
that wherever I take it l shall return it
10 you as unsettled and untranished as 1
received it." This is the spirit Of a can
didate that any party may' tie 10 with

assurance that viii be accepted by the
party with the confidence with which it
was uttered. The state wants a chief ex-
ecutive who will be governor. 1t wants
a man of personal force and identity OF
character. It will put its faith in Stanley,
knowing that ne has faith in himself.
The Republican party has been looking
for a candidate for the head of its ticket
who will act as Mr.. Stanley talks, and the
vigor OF his utterances inspire assurance
that he is the man it has been looking for.

need hesitate a moment to support.
He has character. he has ability, he
has personal magnetism, he is an orator.
and he can win and hold admirers and

much stronger when election day comes.
Mr.. Stanley will make an ideal candi-
