in the hands of the Republ1-
can party, with a citizen of
our own county, the Hon. W.
E. Stanley, as chief executive,
is capable, clean, deserving
of, and does, receive our most
cordial endorsement.
With intense satisfaction
we commend the glorious rec
ord made by our army and
navy and the unexampled
gallantry Of General Funston
and our Kansas volunteers in
the Philippine campaign.
It is our deliberate convic-
ton that when on that May
morning a year ago Dewey
sailed into Manila bay and
won the greatest naval vic
tory of modern times, the
American flag was, in accord
ance with the laws of every
civilized nation, and in accord
ance with the express desire,
as it is written in the march
of human events, of an over
ruling Providence. rightly
placed upon the Philippine
Islands. That this right has
been recognized by every civil
lied power, ratified by the SEN
ate of this country by solemn
treaty with the power recog-
nized by the world as the ma
ton owning the Philippines.
That our right to be there
and oppose armed insured
ton is no longer a party ques-
ton; to uphold the govern
ment so long as armed forces
are opposing it in It's efforts
to establish a stable govern
ment there, is loyalty; to op-
pose it is disloyality. We
condemn and denounce the
unpatriotic and un-American
utterances Of all who are Civ
ing encouragement to the Fill
pinos in their resistance to
the American flag. Never yet
has the old flag retreated
before any armed foe, and
wherever raised there it must
stay.
The aggregation in this
county known as the Fusion
party is neither moved by,
Tor in possession Of, a con-
viction or moral principle.
1t has abandoned every issue
which brought it into life
save the greed for Office, and
it now seeks by having its
platform Of treason adopted
by the people Of this county
to bring the fair name and
fame of Sedgwick county into
disrepute and to disgrace the
name Of the gallant soldier
which it bears.
We are opposed to aggre-
gated capital, whether organ
lied in the form of trusts,
corporations or otherwise for
the purpose Of controlling
the industrial affairs of the
people, and we demand of
our party in this state and in
the nation such legislation
which will at all times be for
the best interests of all the
people. That it is our con.
viction that every great Ques-
ton in which the people of
this country have been inter
ested has been in the past
and will be in the future,
settled IN the interest OF the
people, by that genius of
justice and right which pre-
walls i'll and which brought
the Republican party into
existence; that it has the
ability and integrity to prop
erly settle and adjust the
relations of capital and labor
in the interest of the people.
