figure in a number of stories. On,
Of; them, dealing with the old C.
N. G. Institution of this city, and
campaign of 1896 was published
I'm the Sunday Kansas City Jour-
nal, and is as follows:
In 1896 Kramer attended the
Central normal college at Great
Bend, a school run by William
Stryker, who the same year was
elected state superintendent OF
spublic instruction on the POpuliSt
ticket. The college is now al
NiekersOn.
There were about $50 voters II
the school,. but only seven out Cd
this entire number were Republi
cans, all of the rest being POpu'
lists. That was the heydey Of
PopuliSm. Among these sever
were Kramer, Herman Gillette

ty' high school at Dighton) Coz
Russell (now an attorney at Great
Bend Jack Thomas of the Colby
land Office, and Henry Altman o.

Naturally there was considerable
controversy going on between

They had debates right along OF

whole countryside would turn on
to hear the. arguments. Though
really school debates, they Away
turned out to be political upris

Inasmuch as Stryker was presi
dent of Central normal college
and also a candidate for state SUI
erintendent, the Populist students
of the college thought the SchoO
should give him its unanimuOs SUl
port. "A Stryker meeting was bill
ed for Great Bend and the POI
students sent a request to the sew
en- Republicans to join the process
sion. To this the seven demurred
but finally a compromise was
wrought. H.B. Ward was at thai
time the Republican candidate fOl
county superintendent of Barton
county. The Republicans had
planned a rally for the whole tick
. ct, and so these seven Republican
students declared that if the 243
Pop students would. carry torches
In the march, with banners and
tranSparencies for Ward, the Re-
publican students would join in
the Stryker procession. This was
agreed to, and when the Stryker
rally was held the entire voting
population of the college was in
line with appropriate yellS and
. cheers.
Not long after came the Repub.

ceded by a big tOrchlight process
