of neglect and prlvatiOn to tell.
AuNuT Medicine Lodge Index,
.OS nSVSS II you approve the work
NANOAO' Of McNall, Boyle and Stry-
ker you ought to be honest with yourself
and vote for continuation Of their poll
cy, no matter what your politics may be.
Girard News: Candidate Stanley
points with pride" to long list OF laws
passed by Republicans in the interest of
the working classes, but, unfortunately,
some of them, although found to be de-
fective, were never amended, and still
others were allowed by Republican Off
cials to remain dead letters on the stat
ute books.
Chanute Blade: The Republican speak
ers seem inclined to make an aggressive
campaign, charging up to the present
PODulist administration all the Ills that
flesh is heir to. They see no good in
anything but their own creed, and talk
but little on that except to carry the
people away on war sentiment. Their
speeches are soreIy lacking OF argument.
Kansas City Times: Stanleys tribute
to bronze button will hardly satisfy
the obligations Of the Republican party
to the old soldier this year. The Repub-
liCan convention turned down six wear
ers of the bronze button for Mr.. Stanley.
The administration at Washington
would have turned more Of them down
had it not been for the protest Of Gov
ernor Leedy.
Lawrence World (Rep): It certainly
looks like the dawn Of new era when
men of all political parties unite in the
praise of Senator Harris. 1t Is sOme-
thing that has not happened before. The
reason Of 1t is that Senator Harris Is the
most sensible man in his party, and one
of the most sensible men in the State.
He has shown himself above pettiness in
any form, and for this he is receiving
unstinted praise. Kansas is, and of right
ought to be, proud Of Senator Harris.
Winfield Tribune: Republican papers
in this district try to make 1t appear
that Congressman Ridgely refuses to de-
bate with Kirkpatrick. The POpullst
committee laid down the terms, which
were fair, and the Republican committee
refused to accept. That Is the whole OF
the controversy. But why live Con-
gresham should be required to reani-
mate a political cadaver is unanswered.
Kirkpatrick is the deadest dead thing in
politics in Kansas. He has pOcketed the
returns from pOstOffiCe appointments and
to-day is a Statesman" without further
hope Our advice to Congressman Ridge
ly is not to attempt to resurrect Cadavers.
Mound City Standard Not one of
the Republican candidates for State Of
fees OF Congress will tell what they will
do II elected. There are two very good
reasons for this. The first is they do not
know, as they are controlled absolutely
by the party machine, which will dictate
their course, and the second is II they
did know and would tell they couldn't be
elected.
Eureka Messenger: The increased
amount Of money in Kansas is never
ceasing source of cOngratulation for the
goldbug papers, which profess to see In
1t some evidence that the Mckinley ad- |
ministratiOn has in some mysterious |
manner concentrated prosperity on this |
State. They overlook two things, how
ever, which furnish the explanation OF
the situation. The first is that Kansas
has had unusually good crops, and last |
year there were unusually good prices on |
account of the crop failures abroad and
speculation in grain. Equally important
is the fact that recently Kansas entered |
on a system of legislation to protect her |
people from the exactiOns OF foreign |
money-lenders, corporations and trusts.
This received nothing but denunciatiou
from these same papers at the time, and
it resulted in large withdrawal Of for
eign capital from the State, which caused
predictions Of ruin. Exactly the oppo-
site result has occurred, for Kansas,
freed from heavy annual drain for in
terest and dividends, at once began saw
ing money, and now domestic capital is
increasing and the profits from it are
retained in the State The SO-callnd "fOO1 !
