Twentieth Kansas only did their duty
He believes in the nation doing its duty
and bravely facing the responsibilities tina
it encounters. He talks to Kansas people
as Familiarity as though he had always

among them. He. has reminded nearly
every audience today that prosperity has

trip through the state has started the
Republican ball rolling and it will not
stop until all the ballots are In in No
ven8ber. His speeches are superb and in
them is shown a versatility rarely
equaled and never exceled. He talks
patriotism and Americanism, and that is
what the people want this year.

Roosevelt will add much strength to our
ticket in Kansas. Enthusiasm over him
will greatly help US. cannot too strong

this trip will do US.

carry Kansas this fall and Roosevelt and
this trip will greatly assist US. Kansas
