Cali For a Democratic Congressional Con-
yeutiOu,

The meeting of the Populist congress
sional committee of the Seventh Kansas
district at Hutchinson on Tuesday,
August 81, 1900, resulted in the with
drawal from the race for congress in this
district of both the candidates which
were nominated by the Great Bend con-
vention on April II, 1900.
This condition Of the political situa-
ton renders it necessary that new con-
ventions be held to nominate candidate
for congress in this district. The Popu-
list committee has issued its call for a
Populist convention to meet in Hutchin-
son, Kansas, on September II, 1900, for
this purpose, and recommends that a
Democratic convention be called for the
same purpose at the same time and place.
The Populist convention makes itsrepre-
sentation the same as the representation
was in the Democratic convention at
Great Bend.
In view of these facts and that the
time for preliminary arrangements is
brief, in order that the nominee for con-
gress in this district may be able to enter
into the campaign at the earliest possible
date, l, as chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Committee of the Seventh
district, assume the responsibility of
calling and hereby call delegate con-
ventiOn of the Democratic party of the
Seventh Kansas congressional district
to be held in the City of Hutchinson,
Kansas, on Tuesday, September II, 1900,
to nominate candidate for congress and
transact such other business as said con-
vention may elect. Tie basis for the ap-
portionment of delegates is one delegate
at large for each county and one delegate
for each three hundred voters or major
fraction thereof cast for Hon. Jerry
Simpson at the general election in 1896,
provided that no county shall have less
than two delegates. The several coun-
ties are entitled to the following repre-
sentation in said convention:

The naming of farm homes adds to
the standing Of the farm, makes peo-
pie better acquainted with it and in-
creaseS the owners pride in keeping
1t up. A name chosen because Of
location, environment or for other
reason may be selected. There's
something in the special name but
any name is better than none at all.
Walnut Hill, The Films, Eminence,
Sunny Crest, Glover Leaf, Gray Ga
bles, The White House-how much
better and more appropriate these
names sound than simply the farm of
john Jones or Tom Thomas. Ifthen
the farmer placed over his front gate
or in other conspicuous place the
name OF his farm SO that the passersby
might read there would be added
attractions TO the country.
