The Advocate and news., 1899-01-11

Having been elected TO the office of Sec
netary OF the Kansas State Senate for the
regular term 1t Is necessary for me to re-
tire from connection with the Advocate and
News for the present at least. For four
years I have exerted my efforts In the
direction OF making the paper thing Of
value to It's readers and the party which
Il represents. In doing 80 have been aided
materially by the press Of the State and
especially those papers OF my political
faith. To the latter l have been under
continued obligations and to them | shall
always be ready to respond when favors
may be reclprocated
In this connection want to say that l
haVo abundant faith in the future Of the
Peoples party. l am not one Of those who
believe that It is dead or dying or that 1t
is going to die. I think that the good
work, which was begun In 1890 and which
has been continued as opportunities were
afforded since has not yet been completed.
The recent special session, II a little more
time had been given, would have made 1t
doubtful whether there was much more In
the way OF immediate results to do how
ever firmly believe that the people Of
Kansas are not going to give the Repub-
lican party continued control of State af-
fairs. Let the next State ticket be made
up Of clean, honorable strong men, sat
lsRactory to the opposition to the Republl-
can party, and It will win. The only chance
for disappointment will be that 1t will be
hard to make a better record than has been
made by the retiring State officers during
the past two years. BY that time the peo-
pie will have realized that a mistake was
made at the state election last year.

official duties are completed but | do not
