Kansans in Politics

I mated for congress in the Third district
Mr. Campbell has made an exceptionally
able representative, and although he has
had the experience of but one session he
has attained a prominence not only credit
able to himself, but to his constituency
That he will be reelected by an increas-
ed majority nobody doubts for a minute.
Lawrence Journal: T. W Hoch and
John w Martin, the only governors of
Kansas ever nominated by reclamation
for first term, were both editors There
is some comfort in this for the members
of the craft in the state.
Abilene Reflector: Henry Allen lost his
temper in making a speech at Wichita
Henry is not the politician. we supposed
him to be.
Wilson County Citizen: The political
merits Of the congressional contest in
the Second district are unquestionably
with Henry Allen. He carried Miami
county as fairly as Franklin and Bourbon
and as fairly as 'Bowersock carried Doug
las. Allen and Linn. If Tom KelIy's rump
convention in Miami county can thwart
the will of the Republican majority in the
Second district then regularity of pro-
eeedings and the integrity OF political
organization must count for naught in
that old settled and historic part of
Kansas.
Arkansas City Traveller: c. NJ Scott
says he can remember w r. Stubbs when
he used TO run barefoot around Kaw
Agency. He has quit that habit now.
Atchison Globe: The Republican row in
Wyandotte county is the worst ever
known The boilers say to the regulars:
We will beat any ticket you put up
The same thing is true in half the coun-
ties OF the state And Jim Chisham OF
Atehison commenced it.

renominated for member of congress by
reclamation. The Hon Vic has more

Moudridge Journal: There was some
good oratory exhibited at the Republican
congressional convention held at Wichita
Tuesday. The several committees. tenn
porary and permanent organizations hav-

quired but two hours TO complete the
work of renominating that peerless young
statesman, Victor Murdoch, for another
term in congress. Attorney John d. Mil
liken of this county had the honor of
placing Mr. Murdoch in nomination, and
his speech was universally commended.
Great Bend Register: The endorsement
given Mr. Murdoch by the congressional
convention this week is an indication that
he suits this district. He is a man OF
great capacity and ability and is looking
after the interests of the Big Seventh in
congress in the proper way.
Lyons Republican: Victor Murdoch was
renominated by reclamation at Wichita

Victor has a good stock of common. ev-

The Horse And His Care.

When horse is exceedingly hot he
should be cooled off gradually.
With many men fast driving is simply
bad habit.
Many cases of deceased feet are the re-
suit of leaving the shoes on too long.
Do not buy horse with narrow or
shallow chest. There is not sufficient
capacity for the lungs
Freedom, power to move easily along,
is great point i'll a young horse.
Regular and proper grooming adds
much to the value of a horse
The death of many horses is caused by
the sudden change from old feed to new.
A moderate, quick walk either when
under load or when empty exhausts an
animal less than a snail's pace.
Mares in foal should have exercise and
moderate work, but under no circum-
stances should they be subjected to harsh
treatment.
With growing colts, to give strength,
elasticity and power, the right kind of
food is Indispensable.
a horse with long legs and fiat sides is
not generally al easy keeper.
Well-roundcd ribs, deep flank and short
legs indicate good assimilating power.
High tempered, sensitive horses are
more easily spoiled by too much talking
than by slow, quiet methods.
The actual cost of feed, added to the
service fee, represents the amount which
horses you raise stand you. What they
are worth above this is profit.
A horse for use does better with Just
enough food to replace the waste of his
system, and of a kind to keep him feeling
well. Rural Home.
