Nominations for Governor.
Are there any candidates for govern
orr" asked Burton, with q twinkle in his
eye.
He paused few moments and then re-
markeds, Il guess there are none. We will
proceed to nominate some other officer" /"
just, then a p. Jewett.t of Sedgwick,
asked II the rolls could not be called by
counties for the purpose Of soaring out
some nomination speeches. The chairman
answered that there was no rule to. that
effect and that II there were any persons
present who had nomination speeches to
get OF. they would better be up and max
ing them. This brought Tim Stqyer. OF
Alien, to his feet. He placed Farmer
Funston's name before the convention. He
started out by saying that five minutes
might be all the time needed to speak of
the merits OF some candidates. but not
his candidate. He believed that Funston
was the strongest votetgetter the Repub4
licans could nominatess and pointed 10 his
victory at the 80 and 's2 elections when
all other Republicans went down In de-
Il feat in the state, as evidence of this.
Our candidate has more elements OF
] strensth. and, less od weakness than any
