My fellow citizens Of Kansas: This

You have follrneved farther than any
other DELEGATION OF the United States
that has honored me with 4 visit at nv
home and / appreciate your can more
than I can hnd words to express 1t
shows better than any words that could
be uttered by any man what is in your
minds and hearts, and what your pur-
poses are touching the election to be
held on the third day Of November.
You are interested in the prosperity or
your country. There was a time when
some men were in the habit Of saying
it did not make any difference to the
railroad men Of the country whom you ,
represent. what kind Of financial legis-
lation we had or what kind of a tariff
policy we pursued in the United States
II have heard lit said a thousand times
from the public rostrum that while the
tariff might help the men engaged in
the factories, it had no influence upon
the great transportation lines Of the
country. II any Of you believed that
