Ellis Garten, editor of the Cimarron
Jacksonian, is a candidate for represen-
tative out in Gray county. Garten is
one of the most original individuals in
Kansas. In announcing his candidacy
in his own paper he says:
Being firm believer in the efficacy
of advertising and knowing the extern
sive circulation of the JackSonian,
the earnest solicitation of few friends
and a small army of enemies have de-
cided to become a candidate for repre-
sentative of the One Hundred and
Twenty-third district. The earnest
support of friends will be appreciated
and the open opposition of enemies is
invited and expected
"A few months ago, when some fell
low in fiendish delight suggested my
name for the place. It took occasion to
say that 1 wouldn't trade my job on
the JackSonian for seat on congress.
In explanation L now have only to state
that I've changed my mind, would like
to have the place, and am going to
have it if hard hustling and a fair,
square canvass will win the legislative
pennant.
II enter the. contest with the friend
Hest of feeling toward my opponents
My campaign will be free from villih-
cation and abuse, but I shall use every
honorable means to win. II defeated
shall not sulk, but will extend the
glad hand to the victor and do every
thing in my power to make his major
ity as large as possible.
For more than Is years have lived
and conducted a newspaper in Gray
county. This is my first offense in this
line-the first time I have ever appear
ed before the people as a candidate for
any office whatever If they feel that
I am transgressing it is their right and
duty to say so, and their verdict will
not be criticised or condemned. If, on
q
with favor upon my candidacy and 1
should be so fortunate as to be elected,
will esteem it a high honor and en-
deavor to serve the people of the dis
trict faithfully and to the best of my
ability
The Colby Free Press, a Democratic
paper, is responsible for this: Senator
Burton is reported to have given out
an interview the other day in which |
he said the courts would acquit him
and he would be reelected to the Uni
ted States senate. The senator has |
reason to be hopeful. a party that will |
openly support an embezzler on its
state ticket will support a boodler for |
United States senator
The supreme court announces that 1T |
will hand down its decisions in the con- |
gressionaI contest cases from the First |
and Second districts on Tuesday of
next week instead of waiting until the |
close of the week as is usually done.
Sam Forsha has been elected chair |
man of the Reno county Republican |
