Kansas City Times: II
Webb McNall, Of Kansas,

heNA oOAp w nSa WASh hC
came West he would be q commodore
now and the war would be over. He has
fought eighteen months since he went
into Office, and has never lost battle
Kansas City Star June y: What
would II profit the Republican party TO
turn down John SeatOn at the Hutchin-
son convention, and be itself turned
down at It's polls?
John SeatOn: l was severely crippled
at the start by the desertion Of Le-
land, citizen Of my own district. The
loss Of two solid counties and trOu-
bic in three or four others virtually cut
me In two
Winfield Free Press w. q. Stanley,
who commenced his professional career
In Kansas by beating poor little school
ma'am out Of job, has been nominated
by the Republicans for Governor. Watch
Aeedy swat him.
Concordia Kansan: Congressman Vim
cent hasn't INDUCED in much lip service
in behalf Of the old soldier while be
has been In Congress. No Congressman
OK this district ever did more actual
business on behalf of the old soldier,
though.
81 Dorado Advocate (Pop.): The last
Legislature passed more good laws than
any previous session. 1t was Populist
and redeemed all pledges made except in
regard to railroad legislation, record
Of redeemed pledges that has never be-
fore been equalled.
Atchison Champion (Rep): There is
q great deal Of nonsense over the Ques-
tion az to whether or not the Twentieth
BSanHas was the first regiment mustered
Into the service. 1t was gotten in line
M soon as II could be, and before the
government was ready for 1t.
Wichita Beacon: Mr. Stanley will not
diaappoint the men who nominated him
during the campaign. He will preserve
q ciam-like silence on the question Of
prohibition, except to shrek that old
n plgtitude about enforcing all laws''-
Scxcept, Of course, the usury law.
Lyndon Herald (Pop.): The [Repub-
fScNnl coal plank came little late. The
Aeedy administration has not permitted
4 u bushel Of convict coal to be sold In
cOnipetition with free labor for nearly
a year. The old Republican way Of do
SNE II has been abolished. It Is the Pop
iiist party which does things.
Candidate Stanley: Theoretically,
therp can be no difference in laws, and
40 difference in communities, but prac-
X slcally there is difference.
Where the sentiment Of community Is
such that strict enforcement of the
DAsaw can not be had, then such means
sApUld be employed as in the sound
ltGgment of the respectable members Of
tAe community would most efHectually
tastgict such sales"
Kansas City Star: Barney Sheridan
y has discovered that Sumner county alone
galsed more wheat last year than all six
HQf She New England States, Delaware,
v North and South Carolina and Florida
c1g2blned, and that the crop Of the State
WpR larger by million bushels than
Mat Of New England, New York, New
.lagney, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary
$N5Ad, Virginia, North and South Caro-
Iihna. Georgia and Florida.
Nmporia Republican: The majors
n lA0Od'sl forces made an honorable ef-
X fort, on the merits of their candidate,
n And left the field conscious OF having
,cnght the battle in accordance with the
n gules OF civilized warfare. However,
they are more forcibly impressed, after
n tAalr experience at Hutchinson, that the
Gecalogue has no place in politics"
\. even when honest men and good citi-
gens meet in a party convention.
Wichita Commoner (Pop.): That prin-
NSrl&ne OF Populism which declares for
Home rule should Of itself be sufficient
TeGment for abolishing the metropoli-
" aM police system Even II the system
RnEked ever so harmoniously and so
Fll. II is wrong in principle and should
,S Abclished. But II does not work har-
liously and is source OF continuous
IA NlA and factiOnal strife generating
