LOOKS SURE FOR sHoUsE.

10 present a recent picture Of Sena-
tor JoUet Shouse, Of Kinsl-y, oan1i-
date for the Democratic nomination
for congress from the Big Seventh
District, and generally conceded to
be by far the strongest candidate in
the race. for he win not only carry
the wss.srn hall CT the district by
practically a solid vote, but he has
many warm personal friends and
loyal supporters in every county in
the district, and Is going to receive
nest substantial vote IN even the
home counties of his opponents in
the race.
Mr.. Shouse has been making
most active campaign for the nomina-
tton ever since Hon. Geore A. Neeaey
announced himself as a candidate for
United States Senator and has visited
practically every section Of this dis
trict, and his attitude during the cam
paign, and the courteous treatment he
has on every occasion accorded his
opponents has wen for him warm
friends in every secttcu he has vis-
tied. He has hundreds OF loySa
friends all over Barton county who
are supporting him ardentlg and it
is safe to say that this ccurty VIII
give him one of the largest majorities
ever accorded a candidate for this
position.
An Indication Of the very high es-
TEEN in which Senstcr Shouse IS he d
in the locality where he is be:t
known is the fact that two years ago
line was elected as state serE'Cr by a
handsome majority, in a district nor-
maI9y Republican, defeating o1e Of
the strongest man the opposition
could put up, and being the first
Democrat ever elected to the state
senate from that district. His wolk
as a member Of the state legislature
was Of the very highest order, ard
won fer him the admiration Of al
who were famiiiar with the WORKINGS
of that body, and the experience 'hu'
gained will prove to be a most valu
able asset to HIM as a member q
the national congress. He IS Young
energetic, and hard worker, snt
possesses every quaMficsticu essen
, ttal to make an influential and sue
J cessful representative of the psop.'
Of the Seventh District In Congress
He has most pleasing personality
Is a forceful speaker who ccnvinceI
his hearers of his sincerity in th.
cause he Is advocating, and a mai
who In every way possesses the ver.
highest qualifications for this impor
tant position, and Is deserving Of anr
IL entitled to the support Of ever.
Democratic man and woman Of th'
district.
, The withdrawal Of Wi.kam Barrett
Of Pratt, es a candidate for the nom
ination for Congress Will u-doub et
lly add greatly to the Shouse 8 rengtI
. It has been pretty generally ccucede'
even among the voters Of the cas-
end Of the district, that the westerl
hak is entitled to the candidate 70
. Congress, end the fact that Mr.. Bal
ret's greatest strength was in tn
central part OF the district Is gctn
to be a strong lever in favor Of Sea
Shouse, since the witbdrawal Of th
Pratt man.
| No Democratic man or woman ca
make a mistake by supporting Ssni
tor Shouse at the August primart
and at the general election in N
vember. He will prove to be a pub
lie official Of whom the people Of T.
great district can we'll be proud, a
! his ability and faithtunees to the p'
pie whom he represents will easri
! make him cne Of the important mel
| bers of Congress.
