Fusion Candidates .

convention has lived in Kansas 2l
years. He was born in Miss Ouri, was
married in 1879, and came to Kansas
in October of the same year. He went
into the cattle business in KiOwa Co.
in the days when there was money in
it, and at the close of three years sold
his ranch there and removed to Kins-
ley, where he has resided for IL years.
Thus it will be seen that the people
have hOnOred with the nOmin alton for
representative a man whom they thor
oughly know to be an honest, straight
forward, energetic, practical business
man. Just such a man as is needed to
look after the business interests OF the
county and state in the legislature. 1t
has been a clear case of the Office
seeking the man, as it was only at the
earnest solicitation of the people that
Mr.. Tatum consented to make the race
for representative.
That he is the very strongest man
that could have been put up everyone
feels. People are awakening to the
fact that it is necessary to have more
business men and fewer lawyers in our
state legislatures.
There is great deal of enthusiasm
in the fusion ranks over the nomina-
tiOn of Mr.. Tatum, and We hape that
his majority will be rousing one.
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
The Graphic is glad to again have
the pleasure OF calling attention to
the excellent qualification of A. @.
Dyre as IL prosecuting attorney. The
people have shown their keen appre-
citation of him and his work by a third
nOminati on for the office he has twice
filed. We know that his election will
mean that there will be clean, econ
omical administration of the business
of the county. In fact Dyres admins
tratiOn seems to scare the opposition
SO that they are unable to find a man
to run against him.
PROBATE JUDGE.
The old reliable F. c.. Blanchard
was hOnored with denomination for
probate Judge. If there was muir
muir against him in any way no one
heard it.
Mr.. Blanchard is our finest type of
citizen, clear headed, honest, and cap
able, and man whom the fusiOnists
can conscientiously ask all voters to
support, who sire to see our best
men in charge of the business interests
of the county.
SUPT. PUB. INSTRUCTION.. g
J.. r. Clark who was renominated
for Superintendent Of public instruc-
ton has doLe the best work for the
schools of Edwards County that has
ever been done. He is q gentleman
of education and refinement, and his
influence upon both the teachers and
pupils in our schools is elevating-
He has given us good institutes,
visited all the schools in the county
and assisted by aavice. protest. onal
counsel, and kindly criticism the
teachers. He is superintendent of the
city schools,of Kinsley, and is the
first county superintendent to give
the city schools the help of his advice
and criticism, and much of the ad-
vancement here is due to his work and
influence. We bespeak for him the
vote of all people Sho desire the pub
lie schools of Edwards County to go
on.
CLERK OF THE COURT.
The nominee for clerk of the court
is MIR. NJ. A. Merton, an excellent young
man of fne habits and character
who is we'll known here where he has
grown up. He has been one of the
teachers in tbs. county and has all the
qualifications necessary to fulfill the
duties of the Office, which he will
do honestly and carefully if elected.
COMMISSIONERS 2ND DISTRICT.
The nominee for county commission
-er in the End district is John Woods.
who was born in Ohio and came to
Kansas in 1888, so that he is we'll
known here as he has lived in Ed
waads County ever since coming to.
this state.
The whole sicket is one to usaake the
fusionist voter throw up his hat and
