"we cordislly endorse the candidacy Of
our fellow citizen, w ]. Fitzgerald, fel
Lieutenant government. We commend
him to the people OF this state as a man
Of strict integrity, high purpose, and ab-
s''lute independence In thought and &C.
tion. By hi. own industry and foresight
he has acquired competence, and by
his fair dealing. public spirit and neigh
borly conduct has attained high posi-
tion In the respect Of his fellow citizens
and stands square with the world, fear
less and independent man who does his
own thinking and controls his own a0-
tione, and who In public Office will accept
no dlctatIon except what bis own con.
science says 10 for the best interests OF
the people.
"He has for years been extensively en-
gagged in farming, stock raising and mer.
chandislng, and bis interests are identi
cal with those who demand fair treat
ment from the common carriers. He has
spent all the years Of his manhood In
Kansas. and his acquaintance with Its
citizens is state wide. He knows and
understands their needs, their hopes and
thrir aspirations. The supreme test Of
public servant is his conduct while In
office. He has twice represented this
county IN the Legislature ard was al able,
faithful and conscientious repr senta-
tive OF hla constituents, and we are con.
ildent that II elected Lieutenant COVER
nor he Will serve the people OF the entire
state with the SHINE conscientious regard
for his duty az public servant.

For the reason that the Judicial con-
vention will probably be held before this
county holds lis regular convention II
was on motion voted that IA such case the
county central committee should be en-
powered to name delegates from Ford
county to the judicial convention.
Mr.. Fitzgerald was called before the
convention and spoke for few minutes
He made very frank statement regard
Ing his candidacy, saying thar II was due
his home people to know just where he
stood. The Republicans OF Ford county
from their long acquaintance with him
knew we'll that he would not accept
that should be secured by
hamperng himself with promises, but
bis marked frankiiess in his talk regard
ing his candidacy was no less appreciated
nv bis home people and was warmly ap-
plauded.
Mr.. Fitzgerald left for Topeka the first
of the week and will probably remain
there until after the convention.
Quite number Of home people besides
the delegates will be In Topeka TO attend
the convention.
