WORK FOR MILLER
Lyon County Organizes for
Congressional Support.
Friends Hope to Place 1000
Names on Rolls.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. Eff the same
Republican enthusiasm prevails in
other counties of the Fourth congress
sional district as is evidenced in Lyon,
there will be shaking up in congress
sional matters one year hence. The
recent elections have put the old-time
enthusiasm into the Republicans of
Emporia and Lyon county, and they
are organizing for a winning cam
paign.
This was demonstrated here yester-
day at an informal conference of the
friends and supporters of Clyde w.
Miller, who started a movement for
the organization of a Miller-for-Con-
gress club, which will be pushed out
into every voting precinct of Lyon
county, and will include both men and
women voters. The sentiment here at
Emporia is practically unanimous for
Clyde Miller for congress. Lyon coun-
ty is the home of Mr.. Miller.
The big Miller ranch which he
manages lies in three counties of the
district-Lyon, Usage and Wabaunsee,
but his home, feeding lots, silos and
big barns are in Lyon county, at the
town of Miller, named for his father,
the late Senator H. B. Miller, so well
remembered throughout the Fourth
district and the state. Clyde Miller
was born in Usage City, but Lyon
county is his adopted home, and that
is why the Republican workers of EN-
poria have taken the initial steps to
organize Miller-for-Congre club on
whose rolls they hope to include 1000
Republican men and women voters.
1--WE, the undersigned Republican
voters of Lyon county, favor the nomi-
nation and election of Clyde w. Miller
of Lyon county, to congress from the
Fourth\ district, and hereby subscribe
our names to the Lyon County Miller
for-Congress club"
