SELECTED BY CLUBS

Railroad Commissioner.
BY THREE ORGANIZATIONS
Resolution was Adopted a t
Meetings Yesterday:
BY THREE ORGANIZATIONS

Judge S. S. Ashbaugh announced yes
terday that he is a candidate for the NOM
ination for railroad commissioner. The
judge held this matter back for quite
while, and it was by an almost sheer
compulsion OF his many friends here that
he became a candidate at all
Yesterday the Chamber of Commerce.
the Board of Trade and the Commercial
club held enthusiastic meetings and en-
dorsed Judge Ashbaugh, with the follow
ing resolution, which was adopted with
out dissenting vote:
Resolved. That because of his profess
sional ability and judicial fairness, his
thorough comprehension OF the situation
and mis- eminent fitness for the position
we endorse s. S. Ashbaugh as one mem
Der of the board of railroad commits
sioners of the state of Kansas and hav-
ing been recommended for this position
by the Federation of Commercial Inter
ests at Topeka on January %, we request
him to become a candidate before the Re
publican state convention and we pledge
our earnest support for his nomination"
Upon being interviewed, Judge Ash
baugh said:
Il appreciate the kindness of my friends.
1 am now in the race, and in it to win.
Whatever the commercial interests of this
city have done for me, and will continue
to do, is highly appreciated"
Judge Ashbaugh is in every way fitted
for the position TO which he aspires. He
is a man of good judiciary qualities and
is well and popularity known for his
fairness in all his decisions and business
conclusions. His vast experience in the
past enables him to handle any and all
questions which would come within his
jurisdiction.
He has stood among his fellowmen as
a straightforward politician always
standing for harmony and peace in his
party. His record however. speaks vol
umes for him and will, no doubt gain
for him a place on the board of railroad
commissioners of Kansas
