SIXTH DISTRICT NOTES.

Cy. Anderson, ex-rece1Ver OF the COL
by land office, says he is going to return
to his real estate possessions in Rawlins
county, near Blakemore, and watch his
cattle do well.
Russell county. Burlin & F'oltz are the
editors and proprietors. 1t is politically
Republican. 1t refuses to say whom it
favOrS for congress.
The reappointment of Chan Perdue,
postmaster of Beloit, was a little late
like railroad trains are some times, but
it satisfied every man, woman and child
patron of the office.
Dave Hanna, candidate for lieutenant
governor, was a member of the legisla-
ture from Graham county, when w. NJ
Glenn, who thinks he needs the same Of
flee, was also a men Der from his coun-
The Smith Center Pioneer sees good
times when the old mossback Populists
of Smith county are coming in by ones
and twoS and planking their dollar
down for a years subscription to the
Pioneer.
The Wa-Keeney World editor stuck
type alongside of Arthur Capper when
he struck Kansas. And it took two
column article in the World last week
to tell his patrons that he was for Cap
per for state printer.
D. ]. Hanna. of Graham county, who
will get the solid support of the Sixth
district for lieutenant governor, is 36
years old, and unmarried. He doesn't
think this will beat him. for he agrees
to right this wrong soon as he is nOmi-
mated and elected
John @. Royce, chairman of the Sixth
district Republican congressional COM
mittee, is authority for stating that
Reeder will have enough votes on the
first ballot to nominate him, and adds
a prediction that he will be nominated
by reclamation.
The name of Harry Gray, of Osborne
county, is again coming to the surface
for the opposition candidate for con-
gress in the Sixth district against the
Republicans. He was a delegate to the
Populist conference held in Topeka a
few weeks ago from his county.
Both Wellington and White We're in
Osborne county last week seeing If any
of Reeder's political fences were down.
So far there has been no news from
there to indicate how they found them
1t is now said that Beloit is the only
town in the Sixth district where poll
tics isn't discussed now, and all on ac-
count of so many cases of reported 'sCu-
ban Itch or something of that sort.
There will be no opposition to Chas.
w. smith in the Thirty-fourth judicial
district, Dick Picker in the Fifteenth,
and John Hamilton in the Seventeenth
district. now holding the office of judges
in their respective districts, as far as
the nominations are concerned.
1t begins to look as if Jewell county
will be sure enough Republican coun-
ty this year, no matter who is elected
to congress from the Sixth district. Ac
cording to the Mankato Monitor nearly
every other Republican in the county is
carrying a political office announcement.
The recent order from Washington
forbidding postmasters from taking
part in political campaigns will have no
weight in the Sixth district, from the
fact that in many cases the postmas-
tiers are newspaper fellows, and have
plenty to do in the postoffice and print
ing office without mixing up in politics.
j. H. Reeder, of Ellis county and II.
L. Pestana, of Russell county, are can !
didates for judge in the Twenty third
judicial district. Each of them has 4
cinch on his home county, but for the
life of them neither can swear on the
witness stand how Trego, Cove, Logan
and Wallace counties will throw their
support
r. F. Vaughan, editor of the Mankato
Monitor. who is giving Hayes B. White
a handsome support for congress, adds
this postscript in his paper last week:
More alfalfa will be sown in Jewell
county this spring than ever before The
day is not far distant when every farm
er will have hay meadow of from 40 to
800 acres; and forage famine will be a
thing of the past
Cy Anderson, of Colby, was in Topeka
last week. He was asked if he had
fallen into Reeder's irrigation ditch or
jumped into his band wagon, and he
replied that he hadn't got in either of
them yet. He claimed that he wasn't
interested lust now in either case. but
gave it as his opinion that Osborne
county is the political congressional
battle ground, and whichever way that
county goes settles the congressional
muddle
of the Colby land office, believe that he
is among the possibilities for railroad
commissioner. He has always been able
to get what he. went for in the past
Whether he is slated, to succeed Jim
F-ike. his friends Sayeth not If he is, it
is still a good way off.
