Senator Curtis, candidate for re-
election as United States Senator, and
J. B. Dykes. Republican candidate for
Congress from the 9Th District, visited
Hays last Friday and by special invit-
alton visited the Normal and addressed
the faculty and student body. Both
gentlemen were warmly received. It
was great pleasure to have Senator
Curtis visit the Fort Hays Kansas State
Normal, for had it not been for the eff
forts Of Senator Curtis HAYS would
never have been honored with the To-
cation Of our two great public insti-
buttons. and for his good work for Ellis
county every votor in the county should
honor him with their vote on Nov. 8.
They owe it to him.
In company with friends Mr.. Curtis
and Mr.. Dykes visited Ellis by auto and
made . house to house canvass and
found the Republicans united and ali
solid for the ticket. The two gentle
men were assured ofssthe hesrty sup
port Of the voters of Ellis township.
In the afternoon they visited the
towns in the eastern part Of the county
and met with hearty reception, and
formed strong Republican sentiment
in every place. In the evening Senator
Curtis and J. B. Dykes addressed 3
very respectable meeting at the Grand
Army Hall. Each made a heart to
heart talk that won votes for the Re-
publican cause and left no doubt in the
minds Of those present but what Sen
atOr Curtis would be reelected Senator
and that the 9Th District would be hon
cred by the election Of J. B. Dykes,
our Republican candidate for Congress.
