ECKSTEIN NOT A CANDIDATE.
Regards the Time Inopportune for His
Congressional Aspirations.

Mr.. Otto Eckstein is not a candidate
for congre ssman this year although, like
Judge Wall. he had many friends urging
him to make the race. In announcing
his decision not to be a candidate to a
reporter for the Eagle, he said:
1T is certainly very gratifying to me
TO have so many friends suggest my
name for congressional honors, as the
successor of Chester L. Long-not only IN
Sedgwick county but over the district,
and particularly my Sumner county
friends who first mentioned ii.
ITO serve the people of the Seventh
district in congress is certainly an honor
able aspiration in any man. The sue
cessor of Chester /. Long will find this
place a most exacting one, for he has
set a standard which will be very diff
cult for any man to reach, and any man
should go into the race for congress with
a great deal of temerity, however high
his ideals and his ability may be.
The people of this county have elected
me county attorney by most magnifi-
cent vote and / am more anxious to make
that Office a success and fulfill the
promises l made in the campaign last
fall This is in line with my profession
and l cannot afford to drop this work
and enter upon political career at this
time, even if my humble services on be-
half of the Republican party was such
as to entitle me TO any consideration in
this direction.

JUDGE WALLS POSITION.

Judge T B. Wall will not be a candi-
date for congress in the Seventh district
this year. He has an ambition to be a
member of the national house of repre-
sentatives some time but he prefers 20
wait until congressional lines and boun-
diaries are definitely fixed. Judge Wall
announced his position to a reporter for
the Eagle who put the question to him:
Are you candidate for congress
mo, not now. In the language of
Flanagan, 1 don't know where we are
at Whether there will be re-appor-
tionment of the state into new congress
sional districts is uncertain.
1T is true that the Seventh district as
now constituted will elect a successor to
