Flynn Of Oklahoma He is very use
full representative.
Mr.. Bowersock Of the Second district.
has brought with him TO congress the ex-
| cellent business traits he possesses and
which have made him so successful in
that line in the state for many years.
| consider Mr. Bowersock as one Of the
strongest western congressman.
Mr.. Reeder Of the Sixth. has oeen
very successful IN business. He viii be
as much so in politics and as q repre
sentative of his people if he is kept in
congress. I notice there is some oppo
sitlon TO his denomination 1t SENS to
me that this should not be. I am sure
that Mr.. Reeder is destined to become
one of the soldiers and best representa-
tives Kansas could have in the lower
house
In the loss Of Mr.. Bailey by reason of
retirement, Kansa is deprived of as good
member as it ever had in congress. Mr.
Bailey is not an orator. though a vigor-
Gus speaker. But he is an intensely
hard worker and man possessed of real
eapability. I cannot believe that his re-
tirement is for good. He deserves more
than that from the people of the state.
1T is pleasing to note, however, that
as Mr.. Bailey's successor comes the
scholarly and capable Charles f. Scott
For years. through his newspaper. on the
stump, in the senate of the state. as a
regent OF the great university OF Kan
sas, the best talents Of this splendid
young Kansan have been devoted to the
upbuilding and betterment of his state
In congress he will but continue his eff
forts of the past-I do not know OF any
better or truer prediction TO make for
him.
Senator Burton was well known in
Washington. even before his election to
be senator. He is considered a graceful
and strong speaker and a typical western
man So far he has worked with the
house delegation in a manner to his
credit, and think he will make a good
senator.
'One great source of pride to all Kan
sans who go to Washington is the high
esteem in which Joseph L. Bristow.
fourth assistant postmaster general, is
held by the administration. Kansas
never had a man whom she had more
reason to haseor than Bristow. He has
measured up to the fullest responsibility
and discharged with great credit the
onerous duties incident to his position.
For this reason he will serve for years
more in the place he has nlled so well
In this connection, I could not wei
eliminate something in reference to Den
mis- T. Flynn, the greatest delegate any
territory ever had in congress. His tire
less work for his people and his strength
and personal popularity are matters of
fact in Washington-why should they
not be among his own people and their
neighbors Just to the north? Every eff
fort, too that Mr.. Long and other Kan
sas members have put forth have always
found read yassistance from the Little
Giant OF Oklahoma His growth at the
national capital has been phenomenal,
and surely his own people do not fail in
recognition and appreciation
1T is a source of great pleasure for me
to say, with all truthfulnes, that one
hears the name of Wichita mentioned
more than the name of any other city in
Kansas. when in the east. 1t seems al
most that when you mention the name
of your state to an easterner he will re-
mark, oh, yes; Wichita is your leading
city, isn't ito It appears that the name
of the Peerless Princess is associated at (
once with the name of the state with the /
circles, and business as well, the phe-
nomenal growth of the city and its vast /
to the entire southwest have I
become a wonder. 1 remember seeing /
something in some eastern paper-I /
don't remember what paper, but I think /
a New York journal-some approving re- (
marks in connection with the wonderful /
growth in the deposits of a Wichita I
bank. The figures. in round numbers, |
were something like this: For 1894. 1922 /
600; for 1898, $45O,OOO; for 1900 million I
and a quarter dollars. This seems stu I
pendous to fasteners, who really can |
not comprehend what Kansas and its |
leading city are doing"
Wichita is best known as a business /
and progressive city, free from crankism /
and narrowness and by all odds is re- /
garded as the first and fairest city in t
the state. Keep it so and you will al
ways win the good opinion of the east.
