Second Our Nomination. litor Linwnod Light: I note in your last weeks Issue where you mention the Honorable Jno. T. Keefe. of Leavenworth as the proper inan to represent tile first congressional district of Kansas in our national capitol.

The Democrats of the south end of LeavenWorth county regard Mr. O'Keef's ability very highly and our opinion is concurred in, I am sure, by all leading men of the first district and the demecrats could find no one more eminently fitted to represent us at a time like now, than is Mr. O'Keefe, and if the daddies of the party will stand together as they should and divide up, and apportion the offices, give us rural's a little representation, we can elect a solid democratic ticket in this county and without a doubt land friend John ir. congress; so lets all get together. What do you say? A Democrat.

Wants to Play The Game Big. It now begins to look as though the little coupe pulled off by some of our local talent, has had the effect of at least retarding our progress in the development of our oil interest. Instead of joining hands and assisting to get as many rigs in the field as possible, by rendering an honest assistance, to any and all who come with creditable recomendations that they are bonifid developers, and not speculating on our resourses; we permit selfaggrandizement to rule; rather than civic pride. If we would only say whatour conscience tells us is right between man andman how much better it would be for the community and the country at large. Come friends lets all get together and pull for one betterment of our little town; and, brother farmer join with us--lease your land in blocks of three to five hundred acres, and lease to the fellow that has the best and most lasting terms and offers you something worth while to hand down to your posterity and is willing to drill at once.

While playing for a stake lets make it a good one and play for every. thing in sight, and not make it just a cheap penny antie game; and when the game is finished, be nothing ahead. If there's money in it lets get it out and get all of it. 0. B.
