Hays B. White of Mankato, Jewell
county, will probably be candidate
for the republican congressional NOM
ination in the sixth district, according
to reports received in Topeka Re-
cent rumors have indicated that
White may be given the nomination
without a contest.
At present White is member of
the state tax commission. He is one
of the most widely known men in the
big northwest district and has for
years been active in state and district
politics. He has not made a formal
announcement of his plans, but re-
ports in Topeka are to the effect that
he will ask for the Republican nomi-
nation in 1918.
Recently it was reported that Max
Anderson of Beloit would not ne a
candidate next year. Otis L. Benton.
the nominee in 1916, is not expected
to try again II. B. Houston of TAom-
rs county, recent congressional pos
sibiLty, is now said te be entirely cut
of the race. White who has been re-
garded as a strong contender at all
times, may now be in line for the
without a contest in the
primaries.-Topeka State Journal

MANN FOR CONGRESS

Charles E. Mann, the able editor of
the Downs News, is receiving consid-
cradle mention at present as a can
didate for congress in this district
on the republican ticket. Mr.. Mann
has not formally announced his can
didacy, but those close to him state
that he will more than likely be a
candidate. 1t is long time since
Osborne county had a candidate for
congress and with q man of Charlie
Mann's ability and popularity she
would show the world what she could
do in the way of rolling up majorities-
Mr. Mann has been. republican all
his life. He has not been hidebound
nor tied hand and foot to any particu-
lar faction. He has expressed his
views on public matters as he saw
them, and the aftermath generally
showed that he was about right Os-
the republican candidate for congress
in this district for years past with
good majority. The other counties
should now fall in line and let Os-
borne county have the candidate. Mr.
Mann is good speaker and not afraid
to give vent to his views. 1t is going
to take a strong candidate and some
tall hustling to bring the district back
into the republican fold Mr.. Mann
will likely give the public his formal
announcement or refusal within a
very short time.-Osborne Farmer.
W. A. Eppler spent a couple of days
this week in Denver attending to
some business. He called at Fort
Logan to see his SON, Preston, but did
not get to see him as Preston and
Ralph Nicholson were off duty that
day and were in the city taking in
the sights. Preston did not know
that he was coming and hence was
away.-Ellis Headlight.

Last Sunday evening the annauI
Central Kansas Holiness Camp Meet
ing which was held at the fair grounds
came to close after a ten days ses-
sion. Rev. T. j. Nixon, of Natoma, is
chairman of the association and sat-
isfactory leader. Over thousand dol
lars was raised which will carry the
work on for next year. The atten-
dance was excellent, many coming
from all the surrounding country
over the northwest Kansas Confer
ence. Mrs. Rose Potter Crist, of Dem
yer, and Rev. o. B. Ong, of Pasadena,
were the evangelists and were both
people of splendid ability and preach
ed sermons of more than ordinary
power. Many people were converted
under their teaching and every one
feels that it was good thing to have
the camp meeting and the Holiness
people are much pleased over the
success of the meeting.
