HON. HAYES WHITE

State Senator of Jewell county
and candidate for the Republican
nomination for Congress in this
district was here Tuesday getting
acquainted with the Repubs and
asking the delegation from this
county. H D Shsfer, one of the
Reservation committee and who
was present and saw the Reserva-
ton fight in the Senate, escorted
him around and told of the splen-
did fight White made for the bill
and help to this county and wes-
tern Kansas.
The day has gone by when Ellis
county should figure on Post Of
hce fights but should remember 1t
needs friends for future approprIs-
hons and our people should make
every move in that directions. and
the convention should send their
very best men as delegates to do
the best it can for our county and
its future
The Ellis paper says:
but a few months ago the HaVs
Republican was patting HAYES
White on the back, as being the
man who put the finishing touches
in securing the appropriation for
the Normal at Hays. Now White
name isn't mentioned in that paper
Ialtbo' he is a candidate for Con-
Igress IN this district,
While tbs is ro political fight
of the Free Press we believe editor
tGrifith, who IS a member of the
Reservation committee, should use
the influence of his paper in secui
ling a Hays White delegation from
this county.
