WTCHITA'S INTEREST IN HIS
CANDIDACY NEXT MAY.
His Whole Hearted Way of Making Z
Campaign That Wins.


! in the coming state Republican conven-
ton in May is the candidacy of Charles
H. Luling, for superintendent of insur-
ance.
That candidacy is going to be a vigor-
Gus one. As no one in Wichita will dis
pute. Charles Luling never went into a
thing half-heartedIy in his whole life;
never left a task uncompIeted, never ad-
vocated a policy, or a man, or a principle
without throwing all of the spirit, all the
energy, all Of the feeling he possesses
into that advocacy. He is the embodi-
ment Of intense sincerity. That is what
accounts for his great number of friends.
friends who if necessary, would die for
him, and at this particular time are
going TO devote every effort, thought and
al determination to get him the nor1ina-
ton.

understand perfectly the splendid figure
he cuts in a campaign. It was Charley
Luling who received the largest majority
ever received by a candidate in Sedg-
wick county. a majority OF 2099 for dis
trict clerk in 1883. The memory of that
campaign on Luiings part is one of the
political traditions Of this section. The
result demonstrated what straight-for-
ward, out-spoken, untiring campaigning
could accomplish.
