casion last winter to get ups pretty
keen insight into the standing o. Kan
Gas congressman ~ Washington has
this to soy Of Congressman Calder
head:
The fact is, Calderhead Is Q good
deal bigger man for all the interests
be represents. district, state and ma
tional, than many Kansas people
understand. He is ranking and
valuable man in the very important
ways and means committee, and his
views are sought and influential.
There can be no doubt about this. y
would require years for another man
to attain the position thai Calderhead
holds today with the best men in the
house and in the other departments
81 the government at Washington.
Here are some Of Calderhead's char
acteristics: Even tempered slow to
wrath; uses good, clean language;
rarely speaks i'll Of any onei charitable
to the core; spends his money TOT me
good 81 Others; is true friend q all
honest labor; hates hypocrisy; easily
approached BY an honest man with
motives; he does not easily scare nor

but having formed II sticks to u and
cannot be caioled into changing It
without reasons; defeat has. noterFors
% him il he believes be is right, and
when he takes a stand he does believe
be Is right; every business or measure
which seeks his aid must be "on the

dard when Kansas was rampant for

proved.
