NO OPPOSITION
TO DAVE MULVANE,

gressional district
NO OPPOSITION
TO DAVE MULVANE.
Whatever opposition there may have
been to the selection of D. w Mulvane
for national committeeman has van
ished and there is nothing but the ut
most unanimity for his candidacy and
he will have no opposition. 1t is no
secret that Mr.. Mulvane enjoys the con-
fidence of the President Roosevelt and
his selection for committeeman will meet
with the presidents hearty approval. Mr.
Mulvane was also d warm friend and ad-
mirer of the hate Senator Hanna but
that friendship never for a moment
caused any wavering of Mr.. Mulvanes
allegiance to the president. and there
has never been a time since the Access
sion of Roosevelt to the presidential chair
when he has not had the hearty support
of the member of the committee from
Kansas.
Regarding the Craftsmanship of the ma
tional committee. Mr.. Mulvane said:
THAT is a matter that rests entirely with
the president and whoever he suggests
will be satisfactory to the members of
of OHIO would be very acceptable to me
and l could give him my hearty sup
port Coming from the great middle
west, the selection of Senator Dick would
meet a geographical condition that would
clOthe him with an element of strength
perhaps not to be found in any other
man now before the public for that po-
sitiOn. The senator is also a shrewd and
experienced politician, with years of ex-
perienCe behind him as secretary of the
committee. and perhaps no man more
thoroughly understands the methods and
can follow the plans of the late Sena-
tor Hanna than he.
But, as l said before" continued Mr..
Mulvane that is a matter that will rest
largely with the president. l have no
fears for the result in the nation this year
and none whatever as regards Kansas.
Even were the Democrats not AT sea
regarding men and issues the Republic
cans would win, but in the present de-
moralized state of the enemy there is
nothing but victory in sight all along
the line But this does not mean that
the Republicans Of Kansas are 10 let the
case go by default There must be the
sistent work and I have faith in the Re
pubicans OF Kansas that this viii be
done"
Loyalty to his friends and his party is
one Of the leading characteristics of the
Kansas national committeeman. The
unanimity that prevails in the state. re-
gardleSs of factions. for his reelection
is manifest in the endorsements he re-
ceived in every congressional district in
the state. and many county conventions
made his case the subject Of special en-
dorsement. The candidacy Of D. w Null
vane occupies an entire block on Easy
street and perhaps there is no candidate
regarding whose candidacy there is more
unanimity over the entire state than
that Of D. ". Mulvane for national Gem
mitteeman.
