Most of the wards and precinct;
in Neosho and Wilson Counties will
hold their caucuses tomorrow after
noon for the purpose of selecting
delegates to the county conventions.
the one tn Neosho county to meet
at Erie March 80, and in Wilson-co.
at Fredonia April 2, to choose dele
gates to the Congressional conven-
ton which meets at independence
April 6. In Wilson-co,, the home
of Mr.. kirkpatrick, there will be no
contest for delegates as the Kirkpat-
rick sentiment is practically unani-
nous. In Neosho County there is
some opposition to Mr.. Kirkpatrick;
we hope that at the caucuses as well
as at the convention; fair, square
open sentiment will be expressed;
when the delegates are placed in
nomination, let them express them
selves as to their choice for con-
gresham, and then the electors
present can vote intelligently for del
egates. When a man is selected as
a delegate to convention of any
kind, he should represent those who
send him, and unless he is to be
instructed, it is only fair that his
constituents know his intentions
and feelings as to the candidates to
be considered and man who wants
to sneak in and misrepreSent his
constituents is not fit to 60 to a con-
This is the year for the
people to nominate the candidates,
and if the republicans will turn out
to the primaries and express them
selves and send delegates to the
county conventions who represent
their views and who dare get up and
fight for their rights, then they
will have no kick coming after the
are over. The repub-
licans can elect a congressman from
this district if they will pull together
and a man who will not support the
nominee should stay out of the con-
vention. A majority should rule
and fellow who is not willing to
support the other fellow if his man
is beaten is not doing his party any
great amount of good.

Most of the open opposition to the
nomination of S. S. Kirkpatrick as the
republican candidate for Congress
from this district comes from men
who wanted some government job
and failed to get Mr.. Kirkpatrick
endorsement for the same. 1t is un'
fortunate for any political party,
when the people to be served can
not agree as to whom shall be theil
servant. The facts are that our sys-
tenn of appointing men to office is
all wrong. Every office of any i'm
psrtance should be filled by direct
vote of the people interested, re-
gardless of party. The president
controls the appointment of
100, 900 men, who, combined, make
up a vast army of workers for his re-
election, however tits is diSadvan-
tage rather than an advantage to him
when it comes to a reelection, for
wherever luCIC ID oh OlllSC W W I'LL
ed, no difference how Insignificant,
there are from one to six applicants
but averaging it at three, but one can
be successful while two fail. 1t will
be seen that the disappointed fellows
will be in a majority in ratio of
two to one. 1t hurts the average
office seeker worse to lose when seek
ing an appointment than when seek
ing an elective office, and he will sulk
10 to I times as badly as if beaten
at an election. Take the postmas-
ter, for instance; it is much more
important to business men that
competent person be selected to
handle the mails than that any GER
tain individual be rewarded for po-
I1tical work, yet it often happens
that an utterly incompetent person
gets the place because he has pull;
the facts ale that all officers should
be elected by their constituents and
not appointed by persons who know
about the men in question.

the question being asked of me
constantly, namely, whether | will
accept a nomination to the govern
orship if rendered by the republican
state convention.
l have said in all sincerity that |
was not a candidate and would make
no effort to obtain such a nomina-
ton. In the same sincerity | will
say also that if the party'S chosen
spokesman in convention decided
that l was the most available candi-
date, its nomination would be ac-
cepted and all in my power done to
honorably place Kansas in harmony
with our splendid National admins
tration where she rightfully belongs.
Very truly yours, Ed. CoBuRN.
Now as all doubts as to Mr.. Co
burns candidacy are dispelled, you
will see lines drawn differently from
heretofore. Mr.. Coburn is not an
office seeker, but is mighty good
citizen and if nominated. will prove
a vote getter; he is not mixed up in
any bad deals and belongs to no
crowd or clique, Kansas has plenty
of good republicans who are we'll
qualified for the Office of governor,
put perhaps none better than F, D.
Coburn. Mr.. CoburA stands best
with the farmers, and the rank and
file of the republican party generally
and we would not be bit surprised
if the common fellows brushed the
political bosses aside for once and |
put honest F. d. Coburn at the head
of the republican ticket this year.

COburn in the Race.

There has been much discussion
going on as to whether or not F. D.
Coburn would be a candidate for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor. Mr.. Coburn ended the dis
cussion Monday when he wrote the
following letter 10 N. A. Turner, ed
itor of the Colby Tribune, in answer
to the question, "Will you accept
the nomination for governor if it is
rendered your" Here is the answer

Col. E. H. Funston, of Allen-co.,
has opened headquarters at lola, and
is making vigorous campaign for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor. Mr.Funston is good. clean
man and always runs ahead of his tic
ket when running for Office. Mr.. Fun
ston is our neighbor on the north
and Neosho County might do worse
than to select delegation to the
Hutchinson convention favorable to
his nomination.

The committee appointed to ex-
anime into and report as to the
cause of the blowing up of the
Maine, has not yet reported, but
the report is promised early next
week and then We may look for
something to happen. In the mean
time the president is keeping mum,
but ''still water runs deep" and as
war vessels are being purchased and
the standing army removed % sea-
boards it is not among the impos-
sibilities that we have a little brush
with Spain yet.

The New York supreme court has
decided that chickens running at
large are wild game. This is as it
should be; if you own chickens, keep
them up the same as you do your
hogs and cattle. You have no right
to let your chickens live off your
neighborS.

Senator Hessin, of Manhatten,
was in town Wednesday shaking
hands with the republicans. Mr..
Hessln is one of the leading aspir-
ants for the republicans guber-
material nomination; Mr.. H. is a
good man; an unyelding republican
and would make Kansas an excel

is mad because he did not get the
