rHompsoN's ENEMY FLAvED ~
STOKE.

VIII z. Stoke. Of Great Bend. Sc.
Rotary Of the Seventh congressional
district central committee, has sent
the following letter on the opposition
to William H. Thompson's election
to the United States senate, to TAo
Gazette:
Editor Gazette: At last there has
appeared a man foolhardy enough -
stand sponsor for the alleged oppo-
sition to the election Of Judge William
H. Thompson to the United Stats
senate from Kansas.
One All. Q. Wooster, Of Erie, Kan
sas, has-according to the Topeka
Capital-fathered a circular letter b
the members OF the state Legislature.
with "a brief Of the law" for such
cases made and provided, in which
he warns the legislature not b
"trample the constitution in the dust
and "tarnish the good name Of ne
state Of Kansas" BY obeying the'ez
pressed will Of the voters and elect
Ing William H. Thompson to the
United States senate.
Questions His Democracy.
II the legislature is yet to elect =
senator then Judge Thompson Ger
tainly was not elected while setv-
ing as Judge. As he Is no longer
holding the office Of judge l csnnst
see wherein the legislature will b
"trampling the constitution IN the
dust" when it does elect him-which
1t most certainly will when the pro-
per time comes.
What puzzles me is, how did 1t hap
pen that a man so undemocratically
constructed as this Wooster appears
to be, ever attained the honor OF be-
ing a candidate for presidential cleo
tor, when our party declared uneQuiv-
ocally for the election of United
States senators by direct vote-which
of course. could not be done in the
recent election, according to our
state constitution. But the choice Of
tie people could be, and was, ex-
pressed; and that choice was William
H. Thompson, and by large major
ity.
