This news will be hailed with great joy throughout the state by all classes of citiars irrespective of creed or color. Senator Porter is one of the most useful men that ever served in the c. c. cxflm SENATOR E. F. PORTER. upper house of the Kansas Legislature, and he fostered many measures that are not only beneficial to to the people of his district, but to the whole state. He has the interest of Crawford county and Kansas at heart and serves in a way that the fruits of his labors can be enjoyed by all The colored people feel especially grateful to Senator Porter. In all matters of legislation he has been as considerate of the colored people as the whites, and any measure that would tend to lender their progress or mar their feelings always found a bitter opponent in Senator Porter. The colored people of his district are putting forth every effort to make his majority the largest ever given a candidate in that district. 1a the Walnut Eagle, Editor POLITICS IN OTHER COUNTIES! Plaindealer Manager Meets a Few Candidates---All Have Made Good and Seek LABETTE COUNTY. D. R. Walker, farmer and stock grower, is a candidate for sheriff of Labette county and is a resident of Montana, Kansas. He has lived in Kansas since 1861, is a friend of the laboring man, and has a large following. He is a steadfast Repub VOLUME X. Re-election. Lewis W. Martin says; "Senator E F Porter, of Pittsburg is a candidate again for State Senator from Crawford county. He comes before the people with a fine record. His nomination papers are out and they are being signed by the best people in all parts of the county They know him, and those who know him best are his best and warmest [Name] friends. During the time that he has represented the county in the state legislature he has proven himself to be one of the hardest and best workers Crawford county has ever had. No one that was ever elected state senator from the county has accomplished more than Mr. Porter. He stands not only well with the people in our county, but he is recognized in the state legislature as a man of ability, energy and business tact. He has influence and succeeds in getting such measures as he wants, and he always stands for what is right and the good of the people. No man has been more faithful, no man has worked harder, no man has accomplished more, no man has been truer to the interests of the county and the wage earners than Senator E. F Porter." lien and now seeks the support of the putty he has so loyally served CLEVER OF THE COURT. Geo. S. Stice is one of the loyal Kansas who saw service in the Philippines Born in Illinois in 1872 and came to Oswego in 1873. He is deputy clerk of the District court and is now seeking the nomination and election to this office. He comes from a Republican family and is a prominent business man, being one of the largest furniture dealers in that section of the state. It is seldom that one has an opportunity to vote for a man who is making the success of a business as is Mr. Stice, and the voters should be enthusiastic in seeing that he is nominated and elected. COUNTY TREASURER. Hon. E.N. Pace is one of the most prominent Democrats in all TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 29, 1908. Southern Kansas. He is a candidate for treasurer of Labette county. He is an M. K. & T. ticket agent and has a large following. He has lived in Kansas since 1856 and settled in Parsons in 1859. Mr. Pace is one of the most pleasant gentlemen we ever met, and while Kansas people are not in the habit of electing Democrats, it will take an awful strong Republican to defeat him. STATE SENATOR J. C. Olson, candidate for State Senator is president of the Parsons Business College. Perhaps no man in the whole county has a wider acquaintance, and all with whom we conversed are enthusiastically for him. In the school he has built up one of the strongest and best institutions in the state, which has demonstrated to the people that he possesses great ability and would make a splendid man to represent him in the next Legislature. His candidacy is very favorable to the business and laboring interests of the county, and if elected the voters will find it a trust well bestowed. MONTGOMERY COUNTY E. II Stewart has announced his candidacy for renomination for the office of County Clerk. For the last two years Mr. Stewart has occupied the office for which he now seeks reelection. To say that he has been pain-taking and honest in the conduct of his official duties would be stating the case mildly. This would not be what is admired most in this man, but it is more the altruistic spirit which he has shown in performing his official duties. Of all men in county offices today, there is none who comes more in contact with the people, and there is no office in which the people have a better opportunity to judge of a man's personality and character than this one. In neither has Mr. Stewart disappointed those who elected him to office two years ago. Mr. Stewart has lived in this county for thirty-six years. He went to Independence from Elk City about 4 years ago and served a little over two years as deputy under S. McMurtry. He won his way to the front in party affairs by hard work. He is held in honor and esteem by a host of warm friends and acquaintances all over this county. REGISTER OR DELIVER. C. S. Butler, Register of Deeds, is one of the few Democrats in Kansas who have been able to break the ranks of the Republican party and land a county office. His popularity with the Republicans and strong following among his Democratic friends gives him an advantage that any man should most feel proud of. He is asking for a second term, and if, as before, nothing will satisfy the voters of the county but a Democrat, no better can be found than Mr. Butler. D. E Love comes from a long line of Republican ancestry and has always adhered to the principles as enunciated by the party. Mr. Love is sheriff of Montgomery county, and is asking the voters for a second term. His excellent service as an official and loyalty to the party justly entitle him to what he asks. He is a man whose integrity is above reproach, and is fair in his dealings with all men irrespective of creed, color or religion. He is well liked by the colored people who will support him to a man. Ed Love, present sher of Montgomery county, has made a good official. He is a staunch Republican and richly deserves to be given a second term, which the voters will do. He is a young man, was reared on a farm and has made a success in every undertaking. CONTINUED ON LINE 7. The Brown Supply Co.

The Shampoo Hair Drier is a toilet article that, when once used, becomes indispensable to a lady's toilet porphyrin. We are in possession of hundreds of letters from ladies who inform us that they would not attempt to arrange their hair without it, since having had an opportunity to test its merits. It will straighten only hair without infancy to the hair or scalp. Its use will increase the growth of the hair, by keeping the scalp free from dust, dandruff and grease. In many instances the hair is allowed to go too long unwashed on account of the time required in drying and the dampness controlling the hair, but with our Drier, meditatively hoted, as you would a cutting iron, the hair can be dried quickly and straightened nicely thereby making it look beautiful and natural in appearance. This toilet article is as much a necessity to a lady having straight hair as it is to one whose hair is cuttly for it is a full-purple fact that every lady should bathe the hair at regular intervals, and when the long-time drying process is eliminated she will not hesitate as much to keep the scalp and hair clean by bathing.

With the Shampoo Drier the hair can be dried and arranged in thirty 100 minutes. The use of the "Drier" properly handled, will not remove the wave from straight hair, but to cutly hair it will have the beautiful wave found in hair that is straight. The many so-called Hair Straighteners upon the market, which have proven injections and caused so much unsightly appearance, have made bulbs feel sensitive and smoothous of all such devices, but from the many testmoulds rolled from satisfied users, we can without fear give a guarantee of satisfaction to any one following these The Shimpoon Driver does not mat the hair down to the head, as it is usually done with the old style straightenor, but it uses leave-in duffy and in-waves We have sold the Magic Shimpson Durer to some of the foremost ladies of this country, and they are in evidence in every state of the Union and Canada. When the Durer is once used it will never be abandoned or lost aside for no lady's toilet is complete without it and no lady will be without one who has a pledge in the appointment of her crowning beauty.

We have not hesitated to recommend the stock to our readers as our investigations of these enterprises have been such as to convince us that as legitimate promising mining enterprises nothing more secure is on the market. It is therefore a satisfaction to be able to add one more promising Nevada company to our list of reliable companies. In this connection we refer to the Freeman Mining, Milling and Development Co., incorporated under the laws of Arizona, capital stock #1,500,000; 750,000 shares in the treasury, par value $1, fully paid and non-assessable. The company owns and is developing the richest property in the Gold Mountain district, Nevada. They have run a total over 10 feet and cut several good veins of rich ore, and will begin shipping soon. This company has been the subject of painstaking investigation on the part of the Western Trade Journal, and fairness impells this statement that the most searching examination convinces us that the company offers the best form of investment in Nevada mining stock within our knowledge. For particulars not made plain by this free and unsolicited editorial, address the Freeman Mining, Milling and Development Co., Room 1, Robbins Building, Colorado Springs, Colo. "We consider but the interest of the subscribers who may be undecided how to invest in the Nevada silver and gold mines when, without insinuating aught in detraction of other companies, we bestow our unreserved endorsement upon the Freeman Company's proposition in view of the foregoing, we feel it a duty to advise our readers who desire an interest in one of the best Nevada mining companies, to lose no time in securing some of these shares, which offer the very best security for the least money that ever came under the purview of this paper."

We were never more surprised than when we saw her hair in its present condition. We therefore recommend her method and hair grower to the very highest, as it is a discovery of her own, found after years of research. REN. J. H. VANLEU. MRS. J. H. VANLEU.

In this act alon the General Conference show great wisdom. Bishop Grant a man whom the people love honor and respect, and he done much to quicken the progress of the race. No peop appreciates him more than host he has so greatly benefit throughout the West The Fifth Episcopalist has much to be proud of. It a delegation done exception by well. The election of H. Parks is a triumph for the Prb and all extend congratulations. It was here where he saw the light of progress and was filled with inspiration. Bishop Parks liked to have remained South too long. Kansas and the West claims him. He is a thorough race man, full of patriotism and will make good. The placing of Rev. J. C. Caldwell at the head of the Sunday Schools is another wise act and also a worthy recognition of the Fifth district. St. Joseph and the West are proud of him Rev.Caldwell is a scholar, orator and business man. Much credit is due his highly cultured and devoted wife for the honor that has been conferred upon him. Tomorrow everybody should lay aside all care and honor the Old Boys of '61. We feel greatful for this glorious Union purchased with the blood of thousands of patriotic men, and those who have gone to their final reward, let us garlan their graves with nature's choicest gems. The most ridiculous and absurd proposition ever heard of is a handful of Negro Democrats headed by James H. Guy announcing that they are going to Chicago to defeat the nomination of Taft. Bryan and his party have notified Afro-American leagues that no Negro is wanted. The Guy organization is known as the Shawnee County Afro-American League. It is for Democratic and kicking purposes. Whenever a fellow can't land a janitorship, he joins the League and kicks the Republican party. It is reported that the thing has gone so far as to send out circular letters asking people to contribute money to aid in defraying the expenses of three "delegates" all of whom damn the Republican party at every opportunity. If enough people are soft enough to contribute, it is a smooth way to get to attend the National Convention and visit Chicago. No good Republican can afford to lose any time with this gang of do-nothings. M. H. SENATOR CHESTER I. LONG, Man of the People Who Has Ably Represented Kansas in the United States Senate that he Will Be Chosen as his Own Successor SUPERINTENDENT J.A. CADY The clearest and best administration the Hutchinson Reformatory ever had has been during the past two years under the careful and painstaking management of Hon. James A. Cady. Honest, upright, honorable and strictly business in every undertaking. Mr. Cady makes a success of anything he goes at. As superintendent of the Hutchinson Reformatory he has pleased the people throughout the state, and added many warm friends and admirers to his already large list. This writer has known Jim Cady for almost thirty years, and we have yet to hear a man, woman or child say aught against him. He is forty years of age, and a native of Pleasanton, where he was reared and educated in the public schools. He filled many positions of honor and trust in Linn county, where Democrats and Republicans always took special interest in pushing him forward. He is a launch Republican and for years has contributed time and money to keep aloft the banner of the party of Lincoln. Mr. Cady is kind, sympathetic and painstaking which has been the cause of his magnificent success at Hutchinson. He is especially kind to the colored boys, and gives them an equal chance with the white boys to learn the higher things in life. We like Jim Cady, and if there ever comes a time when he seeks the support of the voter of Kansas, THE PLAINDEALER and the writer will be found whooping it up for Cady. The following extracts are a few facts about the Reformatory: The regular visiting day is Friday, from 2 to 5 p. m., but members of the families of the inmates living at a distance are allowed to see inmates on any day between 9 a. m and 5 p. m., except on Sunday, when they are allowed to see inmates between 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. Sunday visits are limited to one hour. Imates with the poorest education attend school two sessions a day--the night session and during the morning or afternoon session. Inmies with better education attend school once a day. It is not the policy of the management to parole any inmate without education enough to count interest and write an intelligible letter, unless on account of physical or mental defects, this much education cannot be acquired.

NOTICE-All subscribers who do not receive the paper will favor as by calling on the postmaster to as certain the reason why, and letting us know. In looking up news items we were surprised to find that our people did not notice the excellent opportunity to make money. The "ll. ll." club declared a dividend on April 10th. One boy who was bright enough to look after the matter, cached in his cards at two dollars and seventy-three cents each. Through the negligence or over right of some people who might have taken his place in the dividends they neglected and lost that excellent opportunity. Every 4 lb. sack of "H II." dour contains a card. Each of these cards is worth 5 cents in the purchase from The Topeka Milling Co. of one Universal Bread kneder. There is another way these cards can be used. Ask your grocer about it and if he cannot give you the information, ask the Topeka Milling Co. to explain it to you. A contest is now on which expires Nov. 30th. A similar contest expired April 2nd, 1905, and some of the cards in that contest were actually worth £2.72 each. It will pay you to sit up and take you e.

Stewart, the popular County Clerk, needs no introduction to the people of the county, as they are almost unanimous in their support of him for reelection. As an official he has made a record that will stand as a lasting monument to honesty and integrity. He is a consistent Republican, loyal to his friends and square in his dealings. Public men of the Stewart stamp need never have any fear of defeat in anything they may undertake. RENO COUNTY. Chief J. Ryker, candidate for treasurer of Reno county is an excellent gentleman, and a better man cannot be found for this, the most important position in the county. He is friendly to every body and has a host of friends and admirers among the colored people who will stand by him for any position he may seek. The following facts were gleaned from the Hutchinson News: * * * "In Clift Ryker the Republicans have a candidate who is especially well equipped to fill the place which he seeks. He has been deputy county treasurer under Mr. Altswager during his two terms, and is at present filling that position. He had also been special deputy in that office during the busy season for several years previous to his regular term of office. Mr. Ryker is an energetic young man. In his work as deputy county treasurer he has shown exceptional ability as a businesslike and efficient officer. He has always been a Republican of the consistent type, and since his residence in Reno county has been a hustling worker for the success of the party. Hon. A. W. Hamilton, of Hutchinson, Superintendent of the Public Schools, Reno county, has given one of the best administrations the people ever had. He has devoted all of his energy to the uplift of the schools and has greatly improved them. As a reward he should be renominated and elected. The office of County Commissioner is one of grave responsibility, and requires a man of more than ordinary ability. As such, Hon. A. F. Bain has served Reno county in such a manner as to make the voters feel that he should be renominated and elected. Chas. Fulton is one of the best attorneys in Reno county, and the voters feel that there is no honor too great to bestow upon him. He is a young man, 27 years of age, bright, intelligent, and well qualified to fill any position. He graduated from Kansas State University in 1905, and was admitted to the bar before the Supreme Court in June of the same year. Mr. Fulton is a Republican, first, last and all the time, and in selecting a man for Probate Judge, Reno county can do no better. He has served as Probate Judge pro tem., and also as deputy Register of Deeds, and made good in both places. Miss Amy J. Alexander, candidate for Clerk of the District Court of Reno county, is a leader of both women and men. She is affable, pleasant and always glad to give any person an audience. Miss Alexander comes from the best and most patriotic blood in all Kansas In speaking of herself Miss Alex. ander said: "I was born in Hutchinson and have spent my life here, having been educated in the schools of Reno county. My father was one of the early settlers here, coming to Reno county in 1872. He was always a Republican, and was an old soldier, being a member of Company "B", 24 h Michigan Volunteer Infantry, and was afterwards transferred to Company "F", Veteran Reserve Corps, serving four years in the Union army, and was a member of Joe Hooker Post No. 17, of this city. My father died Jan. 4th '04 "I have performed the duties of Deputy Clerk of the District Court for six years, and I feel myself well qualified to perform the duties of this office." Hon. J. I. Smith, one of the County Commissioners of Reno county, has served the people in a manner that has given entire satisfaction. He is a steadfast Republican and has won the admiration and respect of men and parties. He is a candidate for re-election and will have no trouble in being re-elected NEOSHO COUNTY. J. J. Hurt, attorney and broker of Chanute is a candidate for representative Thirty-first district Neo-ho county. He is forty years of age, a bright lawyer and if elected will do much to advance the county He is just the kind of man to make a good representative and the people had better tie to him. He is a consistent Republican and one of the finest men in that section. SEDG WICK COUNTY O E. Emery has been Chief of Police at Wichita since March 1st, 1908. The affairs of the city have been conducted in a way that makes all feel proud. He is an old newspaper man, having devoted 28 years to the service, of which were spent as city editor of the Wichita Beacon. Mr. Emery is 40 years of age, a nice gentleman and worthy of any honor that might be bestowed upon him. MIAMI COUNTY. J. B. Remington is one of the most prominent business men in Osawatomie. He is an extensive lumber dealer, and enjoys the confidence and respect of a host of warm friends and admirers. J. S. Johnson o' Oswatomie, Democrat and prominent politician and business man of Osawatomie, represented his county in the last legislature. He was elected by a large majority in a Republican county, and his friends are now urging him to enter the race for a second term. He conducts a furniture and undertaking establishment and is well liked and popular with everybody. CRAWFORD COUNTY Joseph Keys was born in Randolph county, Illinois in 1854 and settled in Kansas in 1867. He is serving his first term of one of the best administrations that has ever been given from this office. He is popular with the masses, having served as a member of the board of education and five times as town ship trustee. He has always been a Republican and voted the Republican ticket and contributed his time and energy to the party's success. Mr. Keys is a strong advocate of the rights of man, and places time character and moral worth above color. He will be elected by a handsome majority. BROWN COUNTY. R W. Hickn, Clerk of the District Court of Brown county, is a candidate for Representative in that county.

The office of superintendent of public instructions is one of the most important to be filled in any county, and should be awarded on merrit regardless of party affiliations. Allen county has been very fortunate in securing a superintendent in the person of Mrs Maude E. Funston, who is serving her first term. The best evidence of her proficiency is best seen in the commendable progress of the schools. She is well educated and in every way capable and efficient. She is a graduate of the Iola High school and spent twelve years as a teacher in the county schools; five of which were in the city schools of Iola. She is a staunch Republican, and a daughter in-law of "Farmer" Funston who represented Kansas several years ago as Congressman from the Second district. We hope to see Mrs Funston nominated and elected. CLINICAL CLINIC R. E. Culbertson, county clerk, is one of the most popular and best officials that ever served this county. He is asking the voters for a second term which will be given him. His administration throughout has been clean, even Democrats are singing his praise and saying that he should be retained two years longer. Before his election to the office of county clerk, N. Culbertson was a drug clerk, and spent ten years in Idaho. He became a registered pharmacist in 1898 passing a splendid examination. He was born in Hart county Kentucky in 1873, and came to Kansas in 1880 where he has since resided. --- PHOTO JUDGE J. B. Smith, probate judge, needs no introduction to the voters of this county. For fourteen years he has given the citizens one of the best administrations in this office any county ever had. He has been a citizen of Kansas for twenty-nine years. He deserves to be re-elected. OUNTY TREASURER. H. Klaumann has been in Allen county for thirty years, twenty-one of which has been spent in the grocery business, and at present he is prominently connected with the National Mutual Insurance association. He is asking the voters for the nomination of county treasurer. His honesty and integrity is too well known to every citizen to be questioned. He is a rock-ribbed Republican and richly deserves the support of every loyal citizen irrespective of party offiliations. Rally to him and see that he is elected. ALLEN COUNTY. LORG LINY ATTORNEY The Republican candidate for county attorney, has lived in Kansas for the past 25 years. He is a veteran of the Civil war and prominent in G A. R. circles He's one of the best lawyers in Allen county, and as it will not be long before the old boys are extinct, they should be honored whenever the opportunity presents itself. Nominate and elect him. C. E. Alams, astalwart Republican, will have no trouble in being nominated and elected Clerk of the District Court for a second time. The voters are enthusiastic in their support and are standing by him loyally. He was born in Indiana May 20, 1854, and has lived in Kansas since 1879. He is a good fellow well met, and a gentleman in every sense the term implies. He is always ready to assist any move that has for its object the betterment of the colored people, and he can always depend upon them at any and all times. THE PEERLESS PRINCES Ask Your Grocery for the PEERLESS PRINCES FLOUR. The Monarch Milling Co., HUTCHINSON, KANSAS Makes the finest quality flour manufactured in this city.

Jacobus, county superintendent of public instruction has just completed the first year of a highly satisfactory administration. The schools throughout the county have been greatly benefited and advanced under his guidance. He is graduate of Ottawa University and has taught eight years in the county. He has had experience in all grades of school work, and was principal of village schools during the past six years. He is a stalwart Republican, well liked and will be reelected. THIRD COMMISSIONER DISTRICT. In the third district, Mr. W. B. Hutchinson of Pomona, is seeking a renomination as county commissioner. He has put forth every effort to save the taxpayers' money. His administration has been strictly business and a saving one to those who contribute to the tax fund. He is an old and highly respected citizen, and his past career has been such as to commend his nomination and election to the voters. He is a steadfast Republican, and a gentleman in every respect. FOR SHELF. Geo. W. Lathrop. Republican candidates for sheriff of Franklin county, as a man of striking appearance and strong personality. He is in every way worthy and qualified to serve the people in this capacity, and we believe no mis- J. take will be made in his nomination and election. He is fair, square and honorable in all his transactions and will make Franklin county an excellent official. We commend him to the colored voters of the county. Mr. Lathrop is a Franklin county boy and has resided in the county 39 years where he has built up a good business for himself, and is a tax payer. He has served as deputy sheriff and thoroughly understands the workings and the duties of the office. COUNTY IRLANDER The office of county treasurer is one in which deep interest is felt by the tax payers. It requires a man of honor, education and unquestioned integrity. In Mr. E. E. Smith the voters have a man who possess all of these qualifications and they should nominate and elect him. Mr. Smith has lived in the county many years and has always been a strong advocate of Republicanism. He has contributed both time and money to keep aloft the party's banner, and now that they have an opportunity to reward him, they should lose no time in so doing. SECOND COMMISSIONER DISTRICT. Wm. B. Lomas, commissioner of the second district, is asking the voters for a re-nomination as county commissioner. This is an office in which every taxpayer is deeply interested and the fact that Mr. Lomas has served them so well is a guarantee that he will be nominated and elected. He is a Kansas pioneer, and his long residence in the county, his honesty and fair dealing has made him popular with the masses. His Republicanism cannot be questioned, and he is highly deserving of any honor he may seek at the hands of the party Mr. Lomas resides in Williamstburg. --- CHEROKEE COUNTY. E. B. Morgan who is winding up his first term as county attorney is making an enviable reputation in the office. His administration is one of the cleanest and best the county ever had. He is performing his duties as required by law, irrespective of whom it may injure. He was born in Ohio 34 years ago and graduated from the law department of the Kansas State University ten years ago and has practiced law in Kansas ever since. He has sent more than a score of men to the penitentiary and has never lost a felony case, only one verdict of "not guilty." Having been returned by a jury, and be convicted another man of second degree murder in the same case. Mr. Morgan is asking the voters for a second term, which should be given. FOR SHERIFF. James Hatton is making such a success as sheriff of Cherokee coun- ty that he will be given a second term as a reward for his splendid service. Mr. Hatton was born in North Carolina in 1851. He served as city marshall of Weir City for twenty years, and has always been a Republican. He is a fine man and has many friends among the colored people. Theodore Hatton, his son, who is office clerk, is a Kansan and was born in Weir in 1887. He is a bright young man kind and polite, and we predict a bright future for him. PROBAT JUDGE. Probate Judge J. H. Ellis is a pioneer Kansas coming to this county June 20th, 1870, and settled in Empire city, now Galena in 1877, where he still resides. He is an Ohioan by birth, having first saw the light of day July 25, 1858. Mr. Ellis is a steadfast Republican and has made a most excellent Judge. The voters will nominate and elect him again. (OLN) L&RK. R. G. Holmes, clerk of Chetokee county, came to Kansas in 1880 and settled on a farm. At the age of 15 he took up the baker's trade, which he has followed until elected clerk. He was born in Ohio in 1865 and comes from a fine family. He has given a good, clean, honest administration, of which even his Democratic brookers are proud. Men like Mr. Holmes are of great value to any community and it is the duty of the Republican voters of the county to see that he is given another term. REGISTER OF DEEDS Chas. W. Hiller is one of the most popular Democrats in Southern Kansas as may be seen by the fact that he defeated one of the strongest Republicans in Cherokee county for register of deeds. He is a native of the county which has honored him, taking the oath of office Jan. 14, 1907 and has made Jan 11, 18-0, and stands well with all classes, and if a Republican is to be defeated, we prefer that it be done by such a splendid young man as Mr. Hiller. He is a candidate for re-election, and says that he has a chance on being elected. 14～113～135 Jesse Forkner, the general postmaster at Columbus, is a Kentuckian by birth and settled in Kansas in 1800. He was engaged in the practice of law about ten years and is now serving his second term as postmaster. No post office in all Kansas is conducted better than the one at Columbus. His clerk, a lady and a gentleman are among the most pleasant and accommodating people we have ever met. A good postmaster is hailed with great joy in any community and the patrons of the Columbus office are so well pleased with Mr. Forkner that they would not countenance a change. S. C. Westeoll, of Galena, is asking the voters for a second term as representative of the twenty-sixth district. He has done all that his constituents could expect, and represented them in a way that all should feel proud. His vote was always on the side of the people, and if reelected, he is well on to the ropes and will be able to secure some valuable legislation for Cherokee county. CLERK DISTRICT COURT. C. II. M'Nay, clerk of the Columbus division of the district is a native son and well up on all matters pertaining to his office and the welfare of the people in general. As clerk he has made a splendid of- ficial, and his constituents feel that they elected the right man. Mr. M'Nay located in Cherokee county in July 1894. He was born in Clay county in 1874, and has always been noted for his thrift and industry. He went into office Jan. 14, 1907, having served four years as deputy under his predecessor He enlisted in the Spanish-American war in Company F. Twenty-second Kansas Vol. Infantry. Making Good!
