Fellow Republicans and citizens Of
Wichita: I ana not fully aware in my
own mind why I am called here, but
want to emphasize what has been 50 wei
stated by our temporary chairman, that
this occasion is an important one for the
city Not only is it an important occa-
sion for the city, but is an important oc-
casion for the Republican party Of Wich-
ita AS has been stated before, we are
now in the midst Of the best season Of
prosperity that Wichita has ever Wit
messed. For the past four years we have
had a splendid business administration. 1T
has done wonders for this city. The
park system has been inaugurated for the
people Of Wichita. I could name many
other improvements but you are aware as
well as Of the many things done by the
citys administration. ANY party or adj
ministration which has done this should
be approved of. This should be kept in
mind We are here today to nominate
men for the city positions. We must
name men who viii keep up the record
of the past administration. Every dele
gate is not going to have his wish full
fIed today You probably realize that
fact as well as T. Even if YOU are not
the front, take off your coat and go in
for the successful man and let US win
the election of this spring. The men who
are nominated here today should receive
the unanimous support of every delegate
here and every Republican of Wichita It
IS ia duty of the Republicans of Wichita
to support the entire ticket whether you
like that man or not. believe that If
the Republicans OF his city VIII go out a
ono man we VIII ron up the largest ma
iority this election that we have had for
ten years. We are going to have a busi-
ness man to head this ticket He has
been in Wichita for over fifteen years.
From position as clerk he has ARISEN 10
the head of one of the best business in
situations in this city and in the south
west He has the interests If Wichita at
heart He has worked for them He
knows what is best for Wichita This is
the kind Of man that will lead the Re
publican city ticket on TO victory this
wear. There is NO excuse fer not elect
ing this ticket We must work together
This election is important as FAR as Mich-
TIA is concerned. We have had q SPLEEN
did national administration. This was
under the leadership OF President William
Mckinley. 1t was ore Of the most pros
porous administrations that this nation
has ever had. This state has had a splen-
aid administration under our Wichita
man. Governor Stanley. our city has han
splendid administration under the lead
ership of Finiay Ross and we are going
to keep up this record The men whom
we viii nominate today wiz be winners.
