So Will Read History If Curtis of Kansas Wins 1928
G. 0. P. Nomination and Election to Presidency.
(Written Specially for The People-
Sentinel by Albert T. Reid.)
Washington, D. C.—Senator Charles
Curtis, of Kansas, and leader of the
United States Senate, is the first of
the dark horse regulars to announce
his candidacy for the Republican
Presiduitial nomination in 1928.
. In the Senator is combined the
blood of old New England—the Hub
bard and Curtis families of Massa
chusetts and New 1 Hampshire; the
early French settlers and traders —
Convilles and Pappens, and an inheri
tance of Indian royalty, for Senator
Curtis is one-eighth Indian—hfwiditary.
‘"tlWR'tfldIHV of two "well known Indian
Chieftains.
He seems destined by birth f >r
leadership. His great grandmother
was princess of the Kaw tribe of In
dians, a daughter of White Plume,
their Chief. Her grandfather was
Chief Pawhuskie of th». Osage tribe,
which are now, perhaps, the richest
people per capita in the world.
The Senator’s mother died when he
was three year* old, and he was tak.-n
back to the Kaw reservation by his
grandmother, who directed as far as
possible, his early years and instilled
in him an ambition for greater things
than riding races at the fairs and
gatherings.
Spirited from Reservation.
It was his grandmother who, when
the government started the transfer
of the Kaw Indians from Kansas to a
reservation in the old Indian Terri
tory, persuaded young Curtis of the
the wisdom of embracing the world
of his white people, and after the
exodus had begun, helped to spirit
him out late a t night.
He walked to Topeka—some sixty-
five or sevunty mil^s, and from that
time his ambition, his study and bis
genius for hard work have carried him
•toadily on and to the place he now
occupies as leader of the Senate of
the United States—second only to the

so did money.

nominated for Congress from the 4th

Out to Ride to Win .
Since that time he has spent fif
teen years in the House of Reprcoen-
tatives at Washington and almost
twenty years in the Senate.
He has been a conspicuous figure m
both branches and has had a hand in
w
tho shaping or passing of every im
portant piece of our legislation in the
past quarter of a century.
The Senator ir mrtTSl
of the most aMe parliamentarians in
the country, he has labored in a know
ing and effective way to accomplish
those things he has undertaken. He
cares not for the pride of authorship.
Results count with him.
That same doggtrj determination
and perseverance made him the suc
cessful little jockey whose fame was
known as far as civilization then
extended in Kansas. They say he rode
like “all hell had broke loose.”
From an Indian Uipee on the Wes
tern plains to the White House in
Washington is about the widest pos
sible stretch in this country. He has
already come to within a step of it.
- In his acceptance of the proffor of
the Kansas delegation he says he will
not be R stalking horse for any other
candidate.
That’s Curtis. He means he is out

Cotton.
The following, author unknown, is
going the rounds:
“Cotton is the overcoat of a seed
that is planted and grown in the
Southt rn States to keep the producer
bioke and the buyer crazy. The fiber
varies in color and weight, and the
man who can gue«s nearest the length
of the fiber is called a cotton man by
the public, a fool by the farmer and a
poor business man by his creditors.
“The price of cotton is determined
in New York and goes up when you
have sold and down when you have
bought. A buyer working for a group
of mills was sent to New York to
watch the cotton market and after a
few days’ deliberation he wired his
firm to this effect: “Some think it
will go up and some think it will go
down. 1 do too. Whatever you do
will be wrong, act at once.”
“Cotton is planted in the Spring,
mortgaged in the Summtr and left in
the field in the Winter.

and you won’t. You’ll be damned if
you do and you’ll be danmed if you
