Standing Up For Stanley,

Leavenworth Times:-There were good
: reasons which conduced to the nomination
2 OF W. E. Stanley for governor.
The attention of the people of the state
was first directed TO him as a suitable
candidate for the governor shin by The
: Wichita Eagle, edited by that Staueh and
veteran Republican, Marsh Murdoch. Mr..
: Murdoch himself has heretofore been 4
l candidate for governor with respectable
following and his position was emphatic
and pronounced upon ali the public ques-
tons affecting the interests of Kansas.
His views were especially Endorsed by the
people Of our county. Had he been NOM
> mated his majority would have reached
into the thousands.
Judge Sluss made the nominating speech
for Stanley in the convention. In doing
so he commended him as the most capa-
BILE man in the state for governor, hon
est and true, and faithful to the prin-
ciples of the Republican party. He de-
clared him to be man best fitted for
the place, and one TO whom the people
would rally with their votes.
The Endorsement of Marsh Murdoch,
the editor of the leading newspaper in
southern Kansas, and of Judge Sluss, one
LOT the most distinguished attorneys in
the state, brought Mr.. Stanley's name
most favorably to the front, and the mere
Endorsement Of these two men is respon-
sible in large measure for Stanieys nom
inatIon.
At the convention, on the third ballot
for governor MIR. Edwards withdrew when
the calling had reached Edwards county,
and his vote was given to Stanley. If
| there had been any question up TO that
time who was in the lead the action of
Edwards in Withdrawing and the trans
fer of his vote to Stanley settled the
-0,.f1d
be nominated.
The transfer of practically the whole
vote for Leavenworth county TO Stanley
at this time decided his nomination, and
he was made the nominee. by reclamation.
| In his speech to the convention accept
| ing the nomination, our candidate for gov
! ernor outlines his views, which met with
the appreciation, it is safe to say, of al
! most every man in the convention. And
| it is believed that the confidence express
! ed by the gentlemen who first brought
| him out. and by the convention, and
| thus far voiced also by the press of the
state, win also be Endorsed by the largest
majority given in recent years to any
/ candidate for governor.
! The people of Leavenworth will join
with the people of the state in piling up
Stanley's victorious majority.
| Wilson County Citizen:-The man whom
! the Republicans of Wilson county declared
| in favor of as their party candidate for
governor is the one a large majority of
the Republicans of Kansas, through their
912 delegates, voted for and nominated
for that high and important place.
W. E. Stanley of Wichita received the
nomination for governor on the third bal
lot, at Hutchinson, on Wednesday.
Never has a ticket been more fairly dis
tributed over the state, though the east
ern part has not its due share, and nearly
all the candidates are new men who have
not been especially identified with any
of the differing factions or wings of the
party in the state.
The ticket is one that will win new
votes for the party in every locality and
not lose support in single county. 1t
will be elected.
Clifton News:-The ticket nominated at
Hutchinson on Wednesday of this week
is the best state ticket ever placed before |
the people of Kansas for their considera-
ton. w. L. Stanley is an old resident of |
the state a leader in the lawyer profess |
sion, and just the kind Of a man Kansas |
needs for a governor. He was by far the |
choice of the convention which was de- |
monstrated after the complimentary votes |
were cast for the various candidates. The |
ticket, from top TO bottom, is an ideal |
one, and with it the Republican party |
will march to victory this fall in Kan
sas. ION, Stanley, On"
Medicine Lodge Cresset:-At their con-
vention at Hutchinson on Wednesday,
June Sth, the Republicans of the state
of Kansas nominated Hon. W. Z. Stanley
for governor by reclamation on the third
ballot. This is as it should be. We are
for Stanley, first, last and all the time.
He is a good, honest, straightforward and
fully competent man. Support him for
election and you will feel no compunc-
lions of conscience two years from now.
wellington Mail:-There is 10 room for
doubt about the satisfaction the people
of wellington feel over the nomination
of ". E. Stanley for governor. Our peo-
pie were for him almost to man, yet
really very few of them seem to have
actually accepted him to be nominated.
Coming somewhat as a surprise, his sue
cess is all the more gratifying. Added
to this is the conviction that the entire
ticket is without spot, a blemish or
weak spot.
Harper Sentinel:-One of the most bust {

Wednesday to nominate a state ticket. {
