REPUBLICAN, LEGISLATION.
What Republicans Have Done For the Peo-
pie of Ksusss-A Few of the Beneficial
Laws They Have Passed.

the republicans have made it their
study to legislate in favor of corpora
lions and monopolies. 1t can be truth
fully said that there has never been a
law passed in the sole interest of any
corporation or combine. On the con-
trary the people of Kansas have the re-
publicans to thank for very many laws,
all for the benefit of the masses and
the workingmen. The homestead ex-
emption law and the provisions made
for widowed wives show the care taken
of those needing the strong arm of the
people about them. Among other meas
