Sessions Candidacy for Secre-
tary Of State Popular.

Major John Conway of the Norton
Champion, is in receipt of a letter from
ex-State Senator Frank Lockard, now
residing on farm in Sherman county.
The editor says the contents are OF
such a political nature that ne is sworn
to secrecy not to print it. In these
troublesome political times in the Sixth
district where there a,2-no less than
four Republican car ddates for con-
gress already, Will the Democrats can
go them several Better in their scrap
for the same Office. it is believed the
publication Of Senator Lcckard's letter
might be the means of helping to iron
out political matters in the district.
The Republican organs in the Sixth
district are looking in every mail for
the political announcement of Hays b.
White, for congress. and they expect
a check with 1t. It may be that the
newspapers will be fooled because 1t is
said he has lost not less than $1,000 on
the 200 head of cattle he recently mar
keted.
The Oakley Graphic is claiming To-
reka's Rev. John A. Bright, If what
that paper says is the truth: He IS
! like every other married man under the
sun, he don't know what the dickens
to buy for his wife for a present but
he knew he could get it IN Oakley
It must be remembered that kew: MT,
Bright is a minister, and is holding
| down the passionate of church IN Gatn-
puS, Logan county.
Proud Boast of Hoxie Family.
The Sentinel boasts of family who

for breakfast for the last three mouths.
! It mentions this item to show that the
| town really has some rich people.
| The souvenir number of the Hill City
| New Era was pretty as a Christmas
doll, Geo. Munson couldn't get up any
| thing IN this line that wouldn't pass
| inspection. It has five cuts containing
| the pictures OF the old pioneers of Ora
ham county, and there are so many OF
them that the visitor will conclude at
cnce that about all the settlers OF Ora
! ham county are old residenters. The
publication is valuable. and will get
wide circulation as 1t deserves.
There Is anxiety among the Sixth
| district newspaper fellows, who IS the
eldest in the harness continually in the
| profession. The contest lies between
several, but SO far as is best known
! the belt should go to w. L. Chambers.
| of the Stockton Record. He has been
| it's owner and editor for 30 years, and
about that time there was more buffa-
| ioes in Rocks county than inha bitants.
| There are hints that Hoxie Is going
1 to have new paper. Which is about
as much use as a wagon With hVe
wheels. The town can and will support
one paper, and the Sentinel seems to
! fill the bill.
Sixth District E'avors Sessions.
Charley Sessions will easily win out
| in the next primary election for Secre-
| tary of state so far as the Sixth dis
| trict has to do in the matter. All the
| Republican journals are pattlng him on
| the back, while the Democratic organs
can't see anything but good in Ses-
| sions. An old newspaper fellow him
| self, and the political and state writer
on the Kansas City Journal for years

this item is trying to keep tab on the
| rapers in the district which are friend

| them has been put On the side as be-

| his candidacy as are those III the Sixth
district there is no doubt of his winning
| the nomination and election.
