characters of modern times, we buckle
on the armor of good citizenship and
enter the ranks, buoyed up by the hope
| that the Republicans of this nation in
convention assembled will make no
mistake, but give to us as our stand
ard bearer that man among men, that
| strenuous, fighting, sterling, unpur-

/ man, Hon. ]. NJ. Miller, and congratu-
late him on the prospects of a unani-
nous nomination. Industrious, dis
Greet, he enjoys the confidence of the

so faithfully represents.
| I'VE are proud of the fact that the
Republicans of Kansas have come into
the Fourth congressional district and
asked for one of our most eminent sons
| to lead them in their great fight
against factionalism, boodleism, and
| trip-hammer politics, who with his well
earned reputation as a fighting Repub-
lican, his unblemished integrity and
unquestioned honesty, the prairies will
surely be afire' when Kansas speaks
for Ed Hoch; with this gallant trio for
our standard bearers, we throw down
the gage of battle and challenge our
pOlIlcdI dQVerSarleS TO q Tree ana open
discussion of the political issues of the
day, before the intelligent voters Of the
state of Kansas.
Resolved, That in the death of Carl
W. Swensson, the state of Kansas has
lost one of it's greatest educators and
most highly respected citizens; the Re-
publican party one of its ablest advo-
Gates, the nation one of the most use
full citizens and the Swedish citizens
of America a friend and leader whose
ability and patriotism are appreciated
in the land of their birth and in the
country of their adoption.
Whereas, D. w. Mulvane has ably
filed the position Of national commit
teeman for the past four years:
Resolved, That we indorse him for
reelection and request our delegates to
give him united support.
I'VE recommend and endorse H. B.
Miller to the state convention for dele
gate-at-large to the national conven-
ton, knowing that in him the Republi-
cans of Kansas will have as a repre-
sentative a man of sterling worth and
splendid attachments.
I'VE deplore the death of that great
senator, Marcus A. Hanna, one of the
great men to whom the Republican
party owed so much. His great execu-
tive ability, safe counsel, and patriotic
craftsmanship stand as an everlasting
monument to his honored name"
