the program. She has a deep, rlch
voice and her simple song pleased very
much. She responded to an encore
Miss Hattie Howard of Ellinwood also
sang solo but she was unfortunate
in choosing an operate piece IN hlgn

whose name was mentioned bv the
Democratic conference. which was
/ held at the state house. the object OF
which was to locate candidates for the
Democratic state ticket for the fall
election, belongs to the younger crowd
| of Democracy. Nevertheless, he is
probably as well equipped for the high
position to which his name has been
mentioned as any of them. He was
six years with Judge Doster. four of
them with him while he was chief JUS
| tice of the state. He was also asso-
ciated in a business way with l. E.
Lambert of Emporia at the time of
| Mr. Lambert's death and the quality
of law which he would naturally i'm
| bibe from such men as this would tend
| to fit him for a judicial position. He
| is now the junior member of the firm
of Higgins. Ganse & Riddle, one of
the leading law firms of that judicial
/ district and if he should secure the
nomination for this high position he
| would probably make as strong race
as any one could whose name is on
the ticket Of the minority party in
