weeks. Besides Judge Dale, William
A. Harris. former United States sena-

ers of Sedgwick county also turned out

was received with enthusiasm and was
listened to with the closest attention.
He discussed only state issues, denying
that he is the author of the railroad
issue in Kansas politics this year, as
staed by his opponent at the Marion
meeting a week ago. In discussing the
railroad question he made compari-
cons of freight rates on cattle, wheat,
coal and other commodities, with those
of other states, declaring that Kansas
rates in many instances were
extortionate. but that the fu-
sionists are only in favor of doing
justice to both railroads and shippers,
and he denied that the fusionists
would cripple the railroads Judge
Dale was frequently interrupted with
bursts of applause.
Judge Dale's speech was as follows:
Judge Dale's Speech.
Mr.. Chairman. Ladies and Gentle
men: As is customary during politi-
cal campaigns, a candidate for Office
gives his views upon the questions af-
fecting the public interests, and more
especially so for the Office for which
he is nominated. The higher the Of
fice the more anxious the peoTle be-
come to ascertain those views, and SO
a candidate for the high Office of gov
ernor should freely, candidly and dis
passionately express himself concern
ing those issues on which he would
have to deal in case he is elected.
And so today I shall confine myself
to state issues. leaving to the candi-
dates nominated for national offices
