said for the market An immense
quantity OF dressed poultry was left

weather In cold enough that IL keeps
all right. A car load or so OF live poul-

east which relieved the pressure on
that end OF the deal somewhat. Quite
a lot OF rabbits were left over also,

CURTIs FOR sRNArOR

Petitions are being signed In many
cities, according to news reports,
asking Charles Curtis 10 be can
didate for the Republican nomlna-
ton for United States senator. Ev-
erywhere these requests are receiv-
ing hundreds OF names and II seems
to be the idea Of Republicans gen.
orally that he should be the party 8
nominee for the office he filled with
such distinguished credit.
Few men in the senate ever reach
ed the high position held by sena-
tor Curtis. Always at work. al
ways alert to the needs OF his con-
stituents and OF his state he was
recognized as a senator OF power In
the nations councils. While he
knew no politics in serving the Kan
sas people he never swerVed, wab-
bled or hesitated in his allegiance
to Republicanism.
You always knew where TO find
Curtis and he stood for advance
ment and progress in ever line Of
legislation. He did things and did
them so well that Kansas honored
him as a representative of the state
who was always to be depended on,
II he will consent to be the Re-
publican candidate for senator ne
will receive as he did In 1912 a
majority OF the party's vote--and
now the law will not give a minor
ity candidate the nomination as 1t
did then. --~-~ytg \.
