The county conventions being held ir
Kansas are extremely important. The
primaries that make those conventions
are also important. Every Populist
should be at his precinct meeting rain OF
shine. We must take care to nominate
good and true Populists who are being
fitted for Legislative offices or the party
will fail of its mission. 1t is no time to
give mere compliment to friend or a
neighbor. The man selected should be
well grounded in Populist principles and
who knows what to do and how to do it.
We have such a man il Kansas whom
the people want for congressman-at
large. His name is J. D. Botkin Of
Winfield, Kansas. He once filled the
position with marked ability. He always
OWNED the trick Of the corporate tool
and the trust implement, no matter if
that implement were a congressman,
senator or president. As a campaigner
he has no superior in the state. He is
the trip-har1mer orator of Kansas. No
one doubts his honesty, his courage, his
devotion as an advocate of the peoples
cause. His good faith as such has never
been questioned by those who once
elected him. He has spoken in the in
tsrest Of the people in winter and sum-
mer, in days that are dark and dreary as
we'll as those Of sunshine. The rank and
file know him and be is unmistakably
their choice for the position for which he
is here named. The populist county
conventions in this state ought to see to
it that this choice is represented in the
selection Of delegates to the state con-
vention at Fl Scott who will vote first,
last and all the time to nominate J. D.
Botkin for congressman-at-large Com
mouer.

The Story Of pexey's Candidacy

The New York Herald OF yesterday
says: Briefly stated, this is the story
OF the Dewey candidacy as given to
the Herald last night by a prominent
party leader, who has successfully
manipulated state and even national
conventions:
The scheme to nominate Admiral
Dewey at the Kansas City convention
was carefully planned at a series Of
conferences held principally in this
city and Washington. Arthur P. Cor
man, acknowledgedly one of the most
skillful managers in the Democratic
party, was asked to take charge Of the
movement. Such conspicuous long
time party leaders as VIM. c. Whit
ney, Daniel Lamont, Richard Olney,
John R. Mclean and Edward NJ.
Sheppard participated actively in the
conferences. They cauvassed the en-
tire situation. They proposed to
spring the plan suddenly, not long be-
fore the assembling of the Democratic
national convention and on the wave
Of enthusiasm which Dewey's an
rouncement was expected to create
calculated on sweeping aside all OBJ
stacles and on makiog Dewey the
party candidate.
Admiral Dewey's announcement Of
his candidacy at this time was pot
contemplated by the leaders in the
movement. They regarded April as
too early. That the announcement
should be made by Dewey now is due
to the persistent reports from Wash
ington that Mr.. and Mrs. Dewey
would 90 abroad. This latter an
nOuncement, declared by the admiral
to have been absolutely without found
alton, was regarded as an effort to
fOrestal, and sidetrack the Dewey
boom.
The exact wording OF Admiral
Dewey'S statement was under discus
sion for several weeks. 1t was pre-
pared with the utmost care and a
draft Of the statement was sent to the
admiral while he was on his recent
visit to St. Augustine, Fla.

Consul Victor E. Nelson, at Gergen,
has supplied the state department
with facts about the prevalence and
causes of tuberculosis 10 Norway. In
1896 over one-half OF all deaths be-

caused by tuberculosis, and statistics
show that about 1000 NOrwegians die
annually from this disease. The fore
most preventative against the disease
is scrupulous cleanliness, and the con-
sui attributes the reduction Of the
ravages of tuberculosis in England to
the extreme care taken there in this

for US. When we came along she

dog, all of which we could call
our own if we would only come
and go with her. Mrs. Ram bier
was along with us, but the old
maid talked so fast that she did
not give us time to say a word.
We were feeling uncomfortable,
for we knew we were not going
to sleep any when we got home,
and that the neighbors would have
something to talk about for the
next month. When the old lady fin
ally run down and stopped to catch
her breath we took advantage of
the pause and introduced Mrs.

rage. The old maid with the red
rose turned abruptly away and
swept out of the hall. She looked
as if she wished she had never
been born. We didn't sleep any
last night and don't expect to
sleep any tonight. IF Mrs. Ram
