( Geo. B. Ross was born in
Indiana in 1864. In 1883 he
came to Kansas, locating in
Valley township, where he now
resides. He engaged in several
different branches of business,
but finally located on the farm
near Alden, which is now his
home. He is engaged in raising
blooded stock, and has some
very fine Shorthorn cattle, and
Poland China hogs, now on the
place. His farm consists of 16O
acres of fine land, two miles
southwest from Alden, and 100
acres of pasture along the river.
Mr.. Ross married Miss Lydia l..
Stout, and they have been blessed
with four healthful children,
three boys and a girl. Mr.. Ross
was Democrat until the incep-
ton of the Populist party, when
he became one OF it's first active
members. For eight years he
has been a member of the County
Central Committee, and was
Township Trustee for two years,
being elected by a safe majority,
although his township is nomi-
nally Republican. This is indica-
tive of the warm personal sup
port Mr.. Ross receives from
those who know him best and
appreciate his ability. No can
didate could have been selected
who would poll more votes, both
in and outside of his party. II
Geo. B. Ross is. elected, he will
be a dignified and capable Sena'
tor, q conscientious law maker
an economical statesman, and
as a neighbor and friend to every
voter in this district, will have
their best interests always in hie
mind.
