Hon. John E. Wagner, of Larneo
is receiving endorsement for the
position of Democratic National
Committeeman. No better man
could be selected to fill the place.
His freedom from factional Influence
makes him an ideal choice. More
in his favor is the fact that he is a
western man and his election as
National Committeeman would
bring an honor to this part of the
state which eastern Kansas has held
for forty years.

Mr.. Shouse is keeping up the rec
ord of the Seventh District. He is
a worthy successor of Vic Murdoch
and Ed Madison. Although serv-
ing his first term he is universally
recognized as the ablest member of
the delegation from this state. Mr..
Shouse is honest, conscientious and
ambitious. He is outspoken on
every debatable question. He is a
tireless and an indefatigable worker.
The same qualities and genius for
intelligent work that made him the
leader of the Kansas senate and won
for him the respect and confidence
of every single member Of that body
are characteristic of his work in the
lower house of Congress. His re.
ply to Mrs. Mitchner, the president
of the w. G.. T. u, who wrote him
to use his influence against "prepar
edness" is the best argument on that
question we have seen this year, and
is in striking contrast with the
evasive and cowardly attitude of at
least two of the Democratic delega.

representatives in congress and there
is a reason why the Republican NOM
ination seems to 60 begging.
