Especial Correspondence of The Eagle)
Jewell. Kan, Oct. T.-About a week
ago the Republican state central com
mittee telegraphed to the Jewell county
committee as follows:
Can you use Long?"
The county committee organization, so
its chairman said today here, could hard
" get to the telegraph Office quick
enough to wire back the words: Yes.
You bet we can"
So It happened that on this short notice
bills were struck and scattered broad
cast over this excellent county, and the
fine meeting that greeted the Seventh
district representative here today attest
ed TO good work on the part of the or
ganization and q desire TO hear Long
| whom the Republicans of Jewell had not
before seen.
Mr.. Long was badly wanted at Wan
| kato, north of here, the county seat but
he could only spend a part Of one day in
/ the county. and as Jewell had spoken
first, il got him. The meeting was one
of the best Mr.. Long has had in this
part Of the state. The big ring here was
filed. The meeting was held until 2:30
that a delegation which was coming
down from Mankato might arrive. Mr..
| Long was warmly received, and made an
| excellent speech. This county is terri
blv enthusiastic over President Rocse-
Welt, and every mention of his name by
Mr. Long was received with shouts Of
| applause. In fact, Mr.. Long was adver-
| tised on the bills as one of the members
of congress who had ably stood by the
presidents policies in congress, and that
was enough to insure him welcome from
a Jewell county audience.
The meeting was one of the great sue
!. rnrn-r
| Inc Jewell county organization IS little
bit particular whom it listenst o and invites
TO speak. Only Bailey and Stanley have
been here until Mr.. Long came. Secre-
tary Wilson. OF the department Of agri-
| culture, is coming out TO see 'semi-arid"
Kansas and submit few remarks next
Saturday. and that is about all the
county wants. so the organization says.
Of course Reeder has been campaigning
the county. as this is in his district.
Jewell county is quite reliably Republi-
can That is. on all but the county ticket
it is. on the latter the people have a
habit of splitting up and electing men
rather regardless Of party. But they are
getting over this TO great extent. The
county two years ago gave Mckinley $50
plurality. II viii probably give the state
ticket that or more this year. Reeder
viii carry the county and the member of
the legislature will be elected Most of
the Republican county ticket-perhaps all
will win, so the workers say.
FranIoW. Bevington Of this city is the
Republican nominee for the legislature.
He is a merchant with a fondness for
politics, and two years ago was chair
man of the county committee. He is a
pleasant gentleman. good mixer and
viii be elected without doubt. He was
nominated in May. before there was
| much senatorial talk. and says he is alb
solutely free from pledge. He has long
admired, at a distance. Chester l. Long,
and thinks he would make a good sena-
tor. but further than that Mr. Beving
ton will not say until after election.
Mr. Bevingtons opponent IS a real
| estate man at Mankato-John 3 Roa.
He Is a successful business man and
popular in the county He is a Demo-
crat and q son of a former representa-
tive in congress from the St. Louis. Mo,
district. AIR. Rea has been county treas
urer and has a strong personality. but
| hardly expects 10 defeat Mr.. Bevington.
one OF the statesmen of this county
| is r. W. Turner Of Mankato. Turner has
! been q Republican. 4 silver Republican.
and. latest Of ALL Democrat. He served
| two years as county superintendent; was
