comments after It was nominated as the
one put up last Saturday by the Repubh-
cans in Garfield hall.
All the Republicans say that it Is
strong from top to bottom and the feel
ing that it is winner is general and is
not partisan boastfulness but an indi-
vidual CONVICTION. The Democrats who
are not actively in politics say that it Is
an, extraordinary good ticket, and those
who are practical politicians, while not
refusing to give the Republican ticket
that much of a boost, are around urging
that harmony between the Populist and
Democratic committees in the matter of
dividing the offices is a necessity this
year
John Davis, the candidate for state
senator, has always been great cam
paigner. In 1894 he ran for county at
torney and although a big fight was put
up against him he piled up a big ma
jority and came under the wire victori-
Gus. In 1896, when he ran for reelection
and was beaten, he ran away ahead of
his ticket, coming into Wichita from the
country with large vote.
Charles Luling never quits running in
campaign until the polls close. Those
who watched his canvasses for district
clerk remember this, in fact his cam
paigns for that position form one portion
of the political history of Sedgwick coun-
ty most often quoted to illustrate what
man can do when he sets in to do it.
Otto Eckstein is another hard worker.
When he was new to the town and a
stranger to hundreds Of the voters he
was nominated for the legislature from
the First ward and in a district the
Demo-Pops thought they had cinched for
their nominee; he was elected with a
whoop to the surprise of the Demo-Pops
and the delight of the Republicans.
Tom Wilson, who is the candidate for
probate judge. is looked upon as a sure
winner. His strength was shown in the
convention when he was given the noni-
nation by reclamation He means to get
out and see every voter in the county, if
| that can be done. He is popular and pro-
gressive He hasn't a friend but who
will fight for him and everyone of them
will, before the campaign gets along
very far, be pulling for him.
Mr.. J. c. Redfield, the Republican nomi-
nee for county commissioner, hasn't an
enemy in Wichita. This was the COM
ment on him one heard most on the
streets yesterday. He was the first land
Office official Wichita ever had He
knows Wichita and Sedgwick county in
every part He is one of the most eff
ficient men in accounts and in business
methods in the entire west. His election
! is a foregone conclusion, the district be-
hing largely Republican, but election day
! will show that he has the biggest ma
| jority ever given commissioner in that
district, He is party worker, one OF
the business men who believes in getting
out at the primaries and taking part and
having a voice in the conventions. His
was a fortunate nomination and on the
streets yesterday there was no part of
the ticket that received greater praise
than the nomination for commissioner.
Tom McCulley is a farmer live, up-to-
date, quick in business and honest in his
dealings with men. He is one of the
young men Of the ticket and ne duDli-
Gates the others capacity for hard work
! in campaign. He doesn't think he can
make a speech, but he. can and when he
goes after a vote, he forgets that there
are any other votes to be had on earth
for the moment and throws his whole
heart and soul into the matter.
| ]. S. Carson, who is the candidate for
county superintendent, is runner, as
was shown when he came within a few
votes of election two years ago. when in
| the county everything went to- smash.
| Coming so near to the plum has increased
his energy and nearly everybody inter
| ested thinks that he will make great
race.
Henry Schweiter, judging from general
comment, IS elected to the legislature to-
| day. His name in Wichita and Sedgwiok
county has been synonymous with
energy, thrift. level-headedness and hon
/ esty. For years the people have pointed
! 70 him as man whom hard times could
not touch. His experience in public Of
/ fee has been limited, but those who
know the man know he will give TO pub
/ lie business the same shrewdness and
energy that he gies his own. They could
not ask more.
A NJ .Reichenberger, the candidate for
! the Legislature in the west district. does
not know WEAKNESS in a campaign. He
| can go from morning until night. He
