against these people, but from the fact
that it is going on, we judge that Mark
Hanna and Mckinley have. 1t is an ex'
cuse for carving out policy long cher
shed by the Republican party-that OF
increasing the army and putting it upon
a war footing with debt-ridden countries
of Europe. 1t is that policy of imper-
ialsm and military rule which the trusts
and money power of this country are so
anxious to see inaugurated and to
whom the Republican party, by acts
stronger than words, has bent all its
energies to please.
We have Republican state admins
tration in power; the most extravagant
the state has seen for many years.
Compared with the Populist admins
tration, which it succeeded, it is a fail
urc in every particular, and an abOmi-
nation in the sight of all fair-mindcd
voters. The rankcst and most insulting
partisanship ever known has been in
dulged in the state, and educational in
stitutions have been practically
wrecked by removal of competent men.
to make place for heclers and servile vot-
ers of the trust brand. The Republican
party puts the dollar before the man.
Our party since its first organization
! stands for the man before the dollar.
1t is to give the yoters the details OF
this administration of treasury-wreck-
ers, both national and state, that we
make this appeal to you. We have hit
upon plan that we believe we can raise
sufficient funds to do this. We have had
printed, and is now ready for distribu-
ton, n handsome little button marked
"a. t." meaning antitrust. We ask
each loyal citizen in the state to contrib
ute to this good work by sending a dol
lar to our secretary, w. T. Upton,
535 Everett St, Kansas City, kans.,
who on receipt of same will mail to you
ten of these buttons, you can dispose OF
them in fifteen minutes at ten cents each
| and thereby have assisted your state
committee in financial way and been
out but little time or money yourself.
We think it would be asking little of our
voters to contribute ten cents each to
the campaign fund, and if they should
do so it would raise a greater amount
of funds than the party ever handled
before during a campaign.
Again in conclusion, we ask every
loyal citizen who loves good govern

Topeka, kans., Sept. 10Th, ~.
To THE PEOPLES PARTY OF KANSAS:
As YOU are doubtless aware, trusts
and combinations of wealth have Hour
ished under the present national admin
;stration as never before. Prosperity
FOR THEM has been fact and not a
theory; gigantic monopolies have ridden
rouqh.shod over smaller institutions IN
every state in the Union. Since January
LIST, 1899, more trusts have been formed
involving a greater number OF dollars
than was formed prior to that in the
hist ,rv of the nation. Mckinley ar
pucd that it was better to open the mills
than the mints, but he did neither, as
more mills have been closed by these
trust high vaymen, who flourish as
never before under his administration
and the minis remain as they were be-
fore. coming as few silver dollars as the
conditions will possibly allow.
Thousands of skilled worknen have
been thrown out of employment by
these unlawful combinations OF wealth
known as trusts. Fully 10000 travel
ing men have been taken off the road
because with all competition throttled,
and with the leading manufactures OF
the country in a trust, it is not necessary
to solicit people to buy-they are COM
nelled to do so. Prices have been forced
I'D by these combinations without any
regard for supply and demand WINE
the products of the farm have reii'aiileu
practically the same and in some III
stances even lower. More strikes have
occurred, involving a greater number OF
men, in the past year than for any ike
period in the past, and from Repunli-
can standpoint the men are always
wrong, the corporations always right'
the trusts believe the same.
A war of determination is being
waged in the Philippines. These same
people against whom this war is being
waqcd were our allies and were furn-
;shed arms and ammunition to assist us
in the overthrow of Spanish rule in that
land. The Spanish war has been ended
the treaty of peace between this
country and Spain has been signed many
months ago. BY the constitution OF the
United States only congress can declare
war; congress has declared no war

JOHN DUTTON SUED
FOR HEAVY DAMAGES

OAKLAND. Aug. 25.-Ex-Sherif Calvin
f. White filed suit in the Superior Court
L.. day against John ". Dutton. who was
e. deputy under him. and Thomas Prather,
ore OF Duttons bondsmen, for the recoT-
cry If 5000 damages claimed to have be al
sustained by reason of an erroneous ser
vice of summons in the suit of J. B. Wat
Ter against +. +. and Mary Ann Weston,
which was brought in Contra Costa
County i'm September of 1897. The Wal
ler-Weston suit was for the foreclosure
Of mortgage for $S499. together with 800
counsel fees and costs. Judgment was
secured and the property was subsequent
~ sold at public auction for $4,000. Last
March. however the Westons discovered
grounds on which they moved that thc
Judgment be set aside. 1t was found that
Duttou had served the complaint and
summons on c. Z. Weston, brother Of
the defendant. The motion was accord
ingly granted on the condition that de-
fendant pay to Waller $l09 costs that tho
latter had liqUidated. The case was then
appealed to the Supreme Court and judg-
ment sustained.
BY reason OF Duttons negligence
and untruthful return of the summons
ex-Sheriff White has been put TO a great
expense in paying damages sustained by
Waller and otherwise. wherefore he now
seeks to recover $1,000 damages from his
old deputy. buttons bondsmen were
