Sheffield Ingalls,, the recently noIni-

county, has come out with a statement
concerning his position in the senatorial
night Mr. Ingalls says that the report
that he is pledged to Charles Curtis is
false, ann that he is free to support
whoever be likes for the senatorial
cob. His Statement follows:
TO the voters of the Third tegisla-
tive district; AS there seems t1 be a
disposition on the part of a few IN
thinking people to create dissension
and dlscord in the Republican party in
this county by raising, among other
things, the question of my attitude
upon the senatorial matter, 1 feel that
it is incumbent upon me, at the begin
ming OF the campaign upon which I am
about to enter, to place my views be-
fore you in plain, unequivocal language
and with that end in view, I desire to
say that am not now, never have
been, and do not propose to be pledged
to any candidate for United States SEN
atoT, and if I am elected as your repre-
sentative next fall, shall GO to To-
peka there to exercise my own iudg-
ment, reinforced by a full expression of
your opinions in casting my vote for
that exalted position. / have made no
promise of any kind or character to
any candidate. and if Mr.. Charles Cur
It's, with whom my name has been
most frequently associated, has ever
mentioned the subject to me, fail to
recall it. have never spoken or writ
ten to him about it, and / have seen
that gentleman but twice in two years
l trust, therefore, that the good people
of the Third legislative district VIII not
permit few political disturbers by in
situation and innuendo, to befuddle
and perplex their minds by raising one
question to the exclusion Of all other
important questions IN which we, as
citizens of this county should be inter
ested. desire to be a useful, modest
and efficient member of the legislature,
and cooperate with my fellow mem
bers in all legislation for the public
veal, and especially in all legislation
for the well-being and benefit of the
people OF my district whose interests
will, at all times, be paramount with
me. and I heartily condemn the atti-
tude of these few who seem to enter
tain the very narrow opinion that al a
member Of the legislature is for is to
elect a United States senator.
Respectfully,

character as a man peculiarly fit him
for the office he seeks, we pledge him
the hearty support of the Republicans
of Russell county.
Mindful of the ambitions and as

by endorse the congressional candf-
