Whole newspaper pages, moving

BOOM P. S. HOUSTON
Friends Want Him To Run Against
Connolly for Congress.

Colby, Kan, July 17.-One of the
pleasant "reminiscences of pioneer
days in Thomas county is the thought
that two of her women were former
school teachers in the good OLD days
when it was almost a necessity to
teach school in dugout or sod
house The maiden names of these
teachers were Lillian Souders, the
wife of John r. Connolly, present
congressman of the Sixth district, who
lives in Colby, and Carrie Lutgen, now
Mrs. P. S. Houston, of Gem. These
women have resided in Thomas coun-
ty since childhood and have always
been great friends.
Mr.. Connolly is serving his third
term in congress, and he has made
good, the last election resulting in
his receiving the largest majority
any congressman ever received in the
district. Now some of the Republi-
cans want to break this friendship be-
tween the women, and are urging Mr..
Houston to get into the race in 1918
He tells his friends that he has all
the business he can attend to without
engaging in politics. In real estate.
banking, grain and stock he has met
with great success. He will let we'll
enough alone, and the two excellent
women will remain true friends.
