Mr.. Ham is now a candidate for the
Republican nomination for congress in
the Sixth district, which includes %
counties in northwest Kansas. The only
thing that is likely to interfere with Mr.
Hams nomination is that he is too
strong; his opponents may prefer to
help elect some weaker man, so that
they will have more show to get the
job in the future. But under the pri-
mary election plan, Mr. Hams chance
of nomination is very good. Mr.. Ham

money in the rise Of western Kansas

the first time that Governor Sheldon
has ever spoken in Topeka, and he Is
said to be an orator of unusual ability
Governor Sheldon tried. though I'M
successfully, to set new standard OF
square deal in his own state. He at
tempted to have part Of his salary
paid to Lieutenant Governor Hope
well because the lieutenant governor
acted as head of the state during the
absence Of the governor. This shows
what Governor Sheldon's ideas of
square deal are.
Governor Sheldon was only SO years
old when elected governor in 1906.
