challenged him to find demagogy IN the
speech that night.
"'Well,' they said after the speech, did
you find the demagogyT
"'Yes, he replied.
Where?
"In the last part of his reference to
pensions
major Mckinley appeared soon to say
his customary good night
Major, they said, Murdoch says you
had touch of demagogy in your speech

"Where was 1t, Victor? Mckinley
asked, smiling at the young mans
bushes.
"Well, 1t was in the last part of the
reference to pensions, If must tell you
"The next night Mckinley cut out that
part of his speech One afternoon the
major dropped into Murdock's room and
stretched himself on the bed. They were
alone, and the young man thought 1t
would be good opportunity to put
few questions to him.
"Major, what do you think Of free sill
ver?' he asked, @
Mckinley moved not muscle, but
looked hard at the ceiling. When MUIR
dock had recovered from the scare Of the
silence he put another question: What
do YOU think Of the A. P. A.'s?' Another
stare at the ceiling and another period Of
silence.
"That ended Murdock's monologue.
Mr. Mckinley had a way Of expressing
wish with his eyes. One day he was
seated with Murdoch at the table in the
hotel, when politician came In with
fractional grievance, He was drunk. Mr..
Mckinley cast an appealing look az MS
young friend Instantly Murdoch en-
gagged the intruder In conversation.
"'You people are not hospitable,' he
said to the man. I'VE have been here
since last night and no attentions what
ever have been shown u.s.
"This aroused the mans town pride.
""That Is somebody's neglect, he de-
clared. GO and get your reporters to-
gether, while | send for carriages. we
will take a drive. Major excuse me. l
don't want these reporters to leave town
feeling bad about U.S.
"That night Mr. Mckinley gave Muir
dock pressure Of the hand when he
said good night"

exnosjtion was opened with a ball, ana
tha fashion Of the city was there. Mur-
docks assignment was to be the man on

the crowd and saw the fashionable per-
sons enter the ball room and heard the
envious and ill-natured comments Of the
snectators while the rich equippages ar
rived and discharged their loads Of we'll
dressed men and women. The policemen
used their clubs freely and kept a pas
sage way open. The spectators began u
ieer at the policemen and the ponce
talked back. Murdoch, who was an I'M
questionable youth, felt sympathy for the

he was full Of 1t.

be too often repeated. 1t is not only i'm.
portant to him personally, but it is equally
important perhaps more SOTO the Re.
publican party. Over confidence too often
not only works an injustice to candidates,
but is disastrous to party organization. No
time is more fitting than by-election to
prepare for the great contest involved in a
general election. Now is the time to pre-
pare in this district for the presidential cleo.
ton of 1904 1t will not only be Of advan.
tage to the presidential ticket to have a big
solid vote cast on May 26th, but it will be
of great advantage to every candidate, both
congressional, district and county, running
next year. Victor Murdoch is popular; he
is gaining friends from all parties, and if the
Republicans do their duty on election day
the party can and will show an increase OF
strength that will have its influence on the
public mind of the district.
Special elections are always dangerous
for the dominant party unless the members
of that party are vigilant and active. Don't
depend upon your neighbors to do the voting
this wear. Get out yourself, take your
neighbors out with you, and you will find
that your duty to your candidate and to
your party will be done wisely.
Victor Murdoch is young man. 1t
will be his first term in congress. He is
CONSPICUOUS in being the only congressman
to be elected during vacation, and the re.
suit will be watched closely by men who
are observing the drift Unpopular opinion
especially in Kansas. If he goes to con.
gress with a big majority such as you and
men like you can give him if you sacrifice
an hour or two to party duty, and to help
a worthy young man on election day, it will
give him prestige and inAuence-more So
than if he were elected at general election
--and you, as the man he represents, will
profit by it.
Mr.. Murdoch will appreciate a good ma
jority. Too many people will stay at home
to give him what he deserves You-the
reader of this-will, it is hoped, realize that
if seven Republicans in each precinct stay
at home, the Republican majority OF the
district will be wiped out Bear this in
mind on election day, May 26th.

Hutchinson News; The Republican can
didate for congress in the Seventh dis
trict Is all right. While the News and
Reno county had other intentions, not a
word did we or could we say against
Victor Murdoch There Is no brighter or
more 1ikeable fellow personally He is
young, he Is energetic, he Is able, he Is
clean, he Is honest, and he will make a
good congressman, Born In Kansas and
his work and heart In Kansas, he will
make a most representative representa-
tive. The more the people know him the
better they will like him, Taken from
a field of good candidates and made the
nominee for congress without hard
feeling on the part Of any Of his rivals,
he enters the campaign free from politi-
cal complications. He is thoroughbred
believer in Kansas and Roosevelt, IN
and Republicanism. What
better testimony can the News give in
his favor than to record here the admis-
sion that for month we have looked Tor
reasons why Victor Murdoch should not
be nominated and have never found or
named one which was dlscreditable to
his character, his honor or his ability.
Wellington News: The nomination or
Victor Murdoch for congress Is most
TO those unacquainted
with him the enthusiasm Of the News
may be regarded as lattery or unwar-
ranted encomium. But those who Know
him best will agree that we state MS
qualifications at less than their true
value. And as the people Of this county
become acquainted with him it will be
found that his selection was most wise
In the brightness Of his mind, Victor
Murdoch at 80 is at least the peer OF any
man of equal years who has ever been
in Kansas politics. In ability to WORK
hard and accomplish things he has no
superior. He is so good natured and
sincere as to be without single enemy
in his home city, of nearly 10000 people
He is so erect in his manhood and Oh
such struct integrity as to be regarded
nv some Of his friends as being over-sen-
sitive respecting personal honor in poll
tics. He despises shams and hypocrisy
vet conceals his, contempt with such hne
diplomacy as to avoid irritation OF the
boldest and most blatant demagogue'
