OUR TICKET

OF course it goes without saying
that The World is supporting the
Republican state ticket from top to
bottom without exception. In fact,
we can see no adequate reason why
any intelligent citizen of Kansas |
should want to do otherwise. We
are also supporting Hon. /. D. Young
for congress. His nomination was
sufficient evidence that he is the
choice of his party and we believe
that he will be the choice of the
voters of the Sixth District at large.
We are supporting E. A. Rea for
Judge of the 23rd judicial district.
We have known Ed. for twenty years
and know that he has had the train
ing and experience, and has the
ability and disposition, both natural
and acquired, which will enable him
to be capable and impartial judge.
However, it is to the Republican
county ticket, more especially, that
we wish to direct the attention of
our readers at this time. Most of our
nominees have been residents of the
county for several years, and are well
known to all old timers, but to those
unacquainted with them we wish to
say that more than half of them
have held various positions of public
trust in the county and have been
found worthy and competent, and
that is the reason their names are
now on the ticket. To those who be-
lieve that the geographical distribu-
ton of the candidates on ticket is
matter of Importance we would say
that five of the seven townships of
the county are represented by one or
more candidates on the Republican
ticket, six of the number being resi-
dents of the four corner townships.
REPRESENTATIVE GOTH DISTRICT.
Herman Long is our candidate for
the legislature from this county. He
has been a resident of Wa-Keeney for
the last ten years where he has fol-
lowed the profession of law, having
at least his share of the most i'm
portant practice and being generally
successful in his cases. His acquaint-
ance with the country, his education,
training and experience and particu-
larly his knowledge of English law,
language and legal procedure make
him especially well qualified as a
legislator. Mr.. Long is a property
owner and taxpayer and there is
every possible Why he should be elect
ed You ought to vote for Herman
Long regardless of political bias.
