Judge e. ii. Madison for congress In this

G. Price and all the prominent republican
leaders of the short grass country If he
goes into the convention with that part Of
the district solldly behind him he will be

splendid fellow, an able lawyer and one
of the best speakers In Kansas, and should
he receive the nomination and election,

Price and Judge Lobdell getting out of

Ed. Madison might getthat congressional
