BROOKS FOR SENATOR
Politicians Want Him to be
the Fusion Candidate,
MAKES FOUR IN THE RACE
Hot Contest Promised at the
Convention Saturday,

There is a stiff senatorial fight in the
ranks Of the fusionists looming up in the
distance which promises to become very
warm. None of the three announced
candidates is to have walk-away in the
contest for the reason that the name Of
Mr.. c. H Brooks has been launched.
This is regarded by many as being the
means Of making a pretty race. MI
Brooks is not an avowed candidate, but
some of his friends who have dabbled IN
fusion politics considerable, are urging
MIN to consent to the use Of his name
and he has half way promised. Mr.
Brooks has never taken anya part in
politics and of course the leaders are not
exactly for him. but from what can be
learned it is pretty generally understood
that they will not fight him in the event
that he decides to become candidate
The avoWed candidates are James Tapp,
Deacon Wilson and s. A. Miller, any one
of whom is considered strong fusiOnists.
While it is not generally conceded that
Mr. Tapp Is the lead man, his friends
are claiming as much.
The launching of the name OF Mr.
Brooks is a surprise to many and has
been the means of stirring up matters to
some extent, as the field was already be-
lieved to be full of entries. His boom for
the nomination was started last week and
is being commented on freely in fusion
politics. If it has not already worried
some of the leaders it will have that eff
feet before the convention next Saturday.
This senatorial proposition viii be a
hard nut to crack 1t was not the inten-
ton to put the attorney up for senator,
but the fusion politicians had him down
on their list as a prabable candidate for
representative in the city district With
this in view a delegation of politicians
have waited upon Mr.. Brooks several
times. The object of the visit was stated
but he would not consent to allow his
name TO go before the convection as a
candidate. Finding that further attempts
TO swing Mr.. Brooks into line move
ment TO put him upon the senatorial car
pet was inaugurated, and it is understood
that should this place be rendered him
without causing dissention In the ranks
he viii accept graciously.
Another candidate in the person Of Mr.
George Rogers is in the race for clerk of
the district court. Mr.. Rogers is a young
man who was born in this county, and
his friends regard him as being a strong
candidate

Park DrIVeways.

The hundreds of people who sought
pleasure at Riverside Park Sunday did
not fail to notice the excellent condition
Of the driveways both in and approach

ways during the present dry season
were conspicuous by their absence and
instead Of having to plow through dust
several inches thick the pleasure seekers
found the drives free from dust To his
credit is due Mr., o. c. Daisy who very
generously sprinkled the park drives and
placed them in excellent condition for
Sunday use free Of charge. 1t was a kind
act and Mr.. Daisy is to be congratulated
by everybody who gets a chance 10 use
the park. Six sprinklers were used in

and pleasant surroundings will hear the

the spacious building. which is being en-
larged to accommodate the needs Of the
institution When completed, together
with the improvements in the entire
building, the Wichita Children's Home
will be one of the best equipped as well
as one of the best managed children s
homes in the west
Unselhsh devotion by pure and Cody
women, the uniring zeal of the friends
of the institution and the charitable
spirit of the people of the community,
who have ever contributed with gen
crosby characteristic OF them, are re-
sponsible for the maintenance and steady
growth of the home. However, new bur-
dens have appeared and an Indebtedness
of over $1,000 has been necessarily in

These expenses must be paid, but the
ladies in charge of the institution have

cannot find what he wants when this
