to further the interests Of Judge o. l.
Moore in his candidacy for the momi
nation Of judge Of this Eighth judicia
district.
These, delegates were true to theil
trust, and at the conven tion held IL
White City Monday, April 18th, 1901
full delegations were present from
Dickinson, Morris and Geary coun'
ties.
Judge Moore was nominated unani'
mously, receiving the vote Of every
delegate present at the convention,
and Is at this time the nominee Of the
Republicans of this district for the
position Of district Judge.
I cannot see how any sef respect
ing Republican, who participated In
the Republican primaries OF Geary
county this year, can conscientiously
take part In the primaries called by
Mr.. Wheeler, Of Marion.
In short, l will say that the call Of
the Republican central committee
was made in due and regular form
said committee met on Jan. 2S, 1904,
and ordered primary election to be
held in the various voting precincts
of Geary county on Tuesday, Feb. 4,
for the purpose Of electing delegates
to the convention to be held in juno
tion City, Feb. 6, where delegates
were to be selected to represent the
Republican voters Of Geary county to
the state, congressional, Judicial and
senatorial conventions.
This, you know, lisa matter of re-
cord and in view Of the circumstances,
| will suggest to you as 9 committee
man and through you to all other Re-
publicans in your precinct to decline
to participate in the SO called pri-
mary election, ordered by Mr.. Whssl.
Or of Marion, Kansas.
Judge Moore, OF Abilene, is an
lonore member Of the bar and as
udge OF this district, he has been
Upright, honorable and just, and is
'redit not only to this district, but 10
he etate OF Kansas as we'll. He is
,road enough SO that personal friends

-s Hero.
Many people In southwest Dickin-,,
son know Jim McDade ofGypsum who
enlisted in the navy few years ago.
He Is now an ordinary seaman on the
battleship Missouri. McDade, grasp
Ing the opportunity which presented
itself at the time Of the explosion on
board the Missouri, performed o
heroic feat and probably prevented
the complete destruction Of the war
vessel and Its crew. In cases Of this
kind 1t is the accepting Of the oppor-
tunity that makes the man. No
doubt any one Of the brave men on
board Of the Missovri would have per-
formed the same deed II the oppor-
tunity had been given him, but as It
fell to the lot OF this Kansan he per-
formed 1t and did the job we'll at the
risk OF his life. Concerning the deed
which the papers credit to McDale,
the Pensacola (Fla.) Journal, Of recent
date. says:
"Ordinsry Seaman McDade, OF the
Missouri, covered himself with glory
BY an act Of heroism that may event.
ually result in congressional recogni-
tion. McDade was In the 12-inch
magazine when the explosion occur
red, and, IS the draught forced the
flames down the shaft Of the ammuni-
tion hoist and along the passsgewsy
leading to the magazine, he grabbed
an empty powder case, knocked =
landsman named Wells to one side,
and held the case over the slot in the
door Of the magazine which would
have resulted In the destruction Of the
vessel and an appalling loss Of liie."

SOME SOUND ADVICE.
Republican Committee Chairman Of
Geary Issues Letter.

| 00bAy 4hpu1o 4UUtoAs
Chairman W. H. Thompson OF the
Geary county Republican central
committee has issued the following
letter to the committeeman OF that
county. We commend it to Republi.
cans Of Dickinson county as it exactly
describes the situation here:
Gentlemen: /, W. H. Thompson,
chairman OF the above named COM
mittee, have been asked by different
members OF this committee what
course to pursue as to the primaries
called by the alleged Judicial commit.
tee Of this Eighth judicial district,
signed by D. W. Wheeler Of Marion
as chairman.
In response to this request I have
decided to lay few facts before you,
not for the purpose OF debating to
you, but for the purpose Of giving you
some information that will appeal to
your sense Of justice and fair play.
The chairman OF this committee
(Geary county Republican central COM
mittee) before the call was issued for
committee meeting for said county,
wrote to Mr.. D. w. Wheeler, chairman
Of the Eighth Republican judicia
central committee, and wrote in sub.
stance to him that the sentiment OF
great many of cur Republicans in this
county desired to have primaries for,
and convention for the purpose Of
selecting delegates to the state, con.
gressional, judicial and senatorial
conventions all at the same time, and
as his committee had not met and
apportioned the judicial delegates
from this county to the judicial con-
vention, l requested him to call his
committee together TO make such
apportionment to the end that we
could act intelligently in this matter.
In few days | received his reply.
which said in substance, that dele
cations to conventions had sometimes
been selected before the official call
had been made, and as there appeared
to be some objections from some Of
the mitteemen Of the Eighth Re-
publican judicial committee and es-
oecially from one .commlsteeman Of
Geary county as to the calling Of
,om mittee meeting at that time, be |
authorized this Republican central
Of Geary county to hold
primaries and select delegates to this
judicial convention at the same time
ne selected delegates to the various
'ther conventions. He stated that in
'ase our delegation did not conform
n number to that which was appol-
ioned by the judicial committee we
ould add to or take from as the case
nay be. &
You will remember, sir, II you were
'resent at the committee meeting at
he court house, junction City, Satur-
ay, January 81, that read this let
or to you and you decided to act up
n his suggestion. "A motion was a
