A CANDIDATE
Friends Urging John F.
Schrader to Make Race
for Congress.

Mr.. Schrader Will Accept Call II It Is
Shown That the People Of the
District Want Him to do 80.


Even though the time for selection
of candidates for the various offices is
yet some distance off, names are being
mentioned for the Offices within the
gift of the people. Things political
are warming up to the point where
it begins to look as though there
would be very warm contests for all
positions of Importance. In view of
the fact that Rapid City, and for that
matter western South Dakota, has
not been heard from lately, the UNION
wishes to direct attention to one of
her prominent attorneys and respect
ed citizens, John F. Schrader, of the
law firm of Schrader & Lewis. ndo-
ing SO it is believed the proper person
for the position in Congress held by
Eben w. Martin, is offered on the
shrine of political servitude of the
people of the whole state. He is a
republican of long standing and one
who has always been true to the in
terests of the party and the people.
While he has declined to make a posi-
tive declaration of intention, his
friends who have called on him with
the hope of securing his sanction, are
not disposed to look upon the effort
as fruitless, in that the modest state
ment has been made that If the peo-
pie desire his services he will accede
to their wishes, provided some other
man more worthy of the position can
not be found. He is a republican of
the type who is unalterably opposed
to all that Aldrichism and Cannonism
stands for, but should the choice fall
on another he will not be disgruntled
but will work for the success of the
party. IS
A representative of the UNION calf
ed on Mr.. Schrader yesterday, and, in
the course of a conversation touching
on the trend of things political, he
said in part: 4 am willing to become
a candidate for congress provided no
more worthy party worker is available
or suitable under present conditions.

or Cannonism stands for, and feel
that Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa,
sounded the key note of the situation
in his remarks before the Marquette
club of Chicago on Saturday evening.
Regarding candidacy for congress I
firmly believe it is a position in which
the office should seek the man and
not the man seek the Office. And
further, that the man chosen for the
office should represent the people OF
the whole state, and that that which
