Here is the opinion Of the Kingman
Leader regarding the Seventh dis
trict congressional candidates: The
fact that there is a general and wide
spead sentiment in the Seventh dis
trict for Judge Madison for Congress,
is in no way a reflection upon his
competitor, Judge Hutchinson. Judge
Hutchinson is a most excellent gentle
man, has been just Judge and is as
nearly model citizen as can be found
in Kansas. His popularity among
those who know him best is evidenced
by the unanimity with which his own
judicial district is for him. But over
the congressional district generally
Madison is best known. He had
made great strides in the race before
Hutchinson announced. He posses
ses those admirable traits that have
made Judge Hutchison a favorite,
and beside is an orator that has cleo
trifed the Republicans in almost every
county in this congressional district,
It 10 not that the Republicans love
Hutchinson the less, but that Madison
knows more Of them and got at them
first and it is the Leader Courier,
prediction that the Garden City Judge
will himself be the man to make tho
Dodge City Judges nomination IN
animous and that he will do it long
before the assembling Of the conven-
ton.
