Dick Miller has filed for the House of Representatives District 67. The Free Press is required to place a disclosure on the column “Thoughts From The Prairie” stating that it is political advertising and that it is being paid for by the Publishers Jon and Linda Brake. The Free Press wants to continue running “Thoughts From The Prairie”, it is a way for Mr. Miller to express views that would never be covered by the local media. Elected officials have a tremen- dous advantageover rival candidates. For two (Representatives) or four (Senators) years Elected Officials are inter- viewed on radio and in newspapers on events that are going on in Topeka. These interviews are reported as news but they help and promote the official for the next election.( “Thoughts From The Prairie” - A column by Dick Miller, candidate for the Kansas House of Representative District 67, is considered Political Advertising, and as such is being paid for by Jon and Linda Brake, Publishers of the Manhattan Free Press.)
