w. A. Reeder.

To those studying the various polit-
| icai situations over the cOuntry-and
all political combinations are thor
oughly discussed here at the national
crossroads-it is evident that candi-
dates for Hon. w. A. Reeder's place
in congress are becoming very numer-
Gus in the Sixth district of Kansas.
This condition of affairs comes as a
great surprise to those at this end OF
the line, who are conversant with the
faithful and effective work accom-
plished by Mr.. Reeder during mis- mi
tial term. for the Fifty-sixth congress
has been so crowded with legislation
of national Importance that new
members found a very trying situa-
tiOn to contend with.
Notwithstanding this condition of
affairs Mr.. Reeder, with his charac-
terlstic energy and push, has rounded
out good terms work, which in the
opinion of the politicians here, will
result in lasting benefit to his district.
1t is not cOmprehended by the people
of Washington why the people of most
of the western states retire their con-
gressmen Just at the point where they
can begin to be useful to their con-
stituents. Iowa is an exception to the
rule of not retaining congressman
for more than two or three terms, and
the result is that the state has one of
the strongest and most effective
delegations at the national capital.
Mr.. Reeder. by his genial way, has
formed a wide circle of friends among
the machine of the house and is just
getting to a point where he can secure
the legislation desired by his people,
and TO retire him and send successor
here to do kindergarten. work would
be a great mistake.
There is always demand on the
part of politicians desiring to build
up new Kingdoms, that men in public
be retired, but Mr. Reeder is the cand-
idate of the people in every sense of
the word. He has done faithful
work bringing good results. and he is
just gaining point where he can
operate in a much wider field of use
