A JUST TRIBUTE.

At the Republican convention
held in Chanute, Saturday last, for
the purpose of nominating a candi-
date for county commissioner, but
one name was proposed, that OF J.
A. Alleman of carleton, present
commissioner. Mr.. Alleman was
placed in nomination in few we'll
chosen words by Mr.. Foetish OF
carleton, and the nomination was
Immediately seconded by a number
of gentlemen of the Chanute delega-
ton, and he received the vote OF
every delegate present.
Mr.. Alleman, cad" as he is fa-
miliarly called by almost everybody,
is one of the very best of men. He
has grown up in this county and in
this commissioner district. His
life is an open book, and no one
ever thought of accusing him of a
wrong or selfish act. There is not
an old citizen in the district but
knows him favorably. His honesty
and integrity are beyond question.
He has always been an earnest,
consistent Republican. He is Of
that class of Republicans that sup
port the ticket. He has never been
known to whine and sulk and bolt
the ticket because his favorite did
not have majority in the conven-
ton.
Mr.. Alleman is an educated man,
having taught school in this county
during his younger days. OF late
years he has been in the mercantile
business at carleton. He has shown
his fitness for the business of the
office by being a successful business
man in his own affairs. During the
last three years he has served the
people of this district as commits
sioner. He has been earnest, hon
est, faithful and courteous in the
discharge of his duties. He has
neglected his own business to attend
to his official duties.
Mr.. Alleman did not want to be a
candidate for reelection, urging as a
reason that his own increasing bust
ness demanded his attention; but,
at the urgent solicitation Of his per-
sonal friends and the party workers
of the district, he reluctantly con-
sented to allow his name to be used.
The results are as stated; he was
unanimously nominated. No bet
ter selection for the place could
have been made. No cleaner man
lives in the county.
A number of the delegates thought
for awhile that it might be advis-
able to nominate man from Cha
mute, but after talking the matter
over, Mr.. Alleman was decided to
be the proper man for the place.
No Republican in this district can
afford not to vote for ]. A. Alleman.
He is in every way worthy, and is
the nominee of the party. The
commissioner office carries with it
considerable political Importance,
on account of the appointive power
of the commissioner, and no one
who claims to be a Republican, no
matter what may have been his
preferences or how strong may be
his prejudices, can afford not to
vote and work for Alleman, the Re-
publican nominee.
Let US all 60 to work with will
and show to the rest of the county
where the Republican votes of this
county come from, and it will help
us in the future.
The will Of President McKinlsy
has been admitted to probate. AS
was expected it leaves everything to
his wife. The will was writ
ten in 'o7, and provides for the am
pie maintenance of his mother, who
was then living.

Up to the present we have failed
to notice in the opposition papers
any prediction of VIII o will ''run"
President Roosevelt.

Red does not seem to be favor
ite color in this country at present.
At least there seems to be no room
for ''Reds."
