The national Republican ticket
is headed this year by that wonder
fnl man Theodore Roosevelt. A
true and typical American oi thc
western type. A man who has
crowded more into 46 years OF life
than any other American.
A scholar, writer, statesman
and soldier, he has honored every
position he has ever been called to
fill. Strictly honest and courage.
Gus at all times, man of action of
intelligence and sound judgement,
he has made this country aA ideal
president. He checked the coal
monopolists in their excessive Dc
mands on labor in the east. He
ousted the p o. boodlers in Wash
ington and through his Attorney
General, squelched the X. r. mer-
ger in the north. He has met
every national question that has
arisen and dispensed equal justice
to all. He faltered not in the
Panama matter but acted promptly
and efficiently when less fearless
man would have faltered. The
wisdom of his acts has been seen
and the American people will give
them the stamp OF approval on cleo
ton day.
The candidate for governor of
this great state on the Republican
ticket, E. w. Hoch, is one of un-
doubted integrity and the nerve and
force of character to enforce his
convictions. The Republicans of
the state were exceedingly fortunate
in thei, nomination for governor.
WhenMr. Hoch takes hold of the
reins we will know we have fear
less driver who will not be afraid to
run the band wagon over evil doers.
The rest of the state ticket is
composed of tried men are who thor
oughly competent to fill the office
to which they will be elected.
Our county ticket is made up Of
good clean men, most of them ex-
perienced in county affairs. They
contrast very favorably with the
men on opposing tickets.
There is no reason why single
Republican in Neosha county should
scratch his ticket this year. You
believe in the principles of the Re-
publican party and believe that the
enforcement of these principles has
given our country great prosperity.
Believing this you cannot be con-
sistent in voting for the man who
would destroy the efficiency of these
policies. They have been tried and
proven and never found wanting.
Any Kansas voter who will be
honest with himself and not pre-
JUDGED by party alliances and ira
ditions, must admit that we have
been much better off during the last
seven years than during Cleveland
Times.
Why not then cast your vote to
maintain present conditions than
favor the conditions that maintained |
during the Cleveland era. Why |
not be honest with yourself and true
to your own interest and that of
your neighbor and vote to continue
the times that make it easier for
you to live and lay up a little sur
plus for rainy day. There is not
the slightest probability that the
people have forgotten the bitter
essons of the early nineties in this
ountry. And no possible doubt
hat Roosevelt will be elected
by an over whelming majority nor
hat the Republicans will continue
% hold good majority In both
branches of congress. Nor is there
my doubt about the result in Kan
las, either of the national or state
icket. The only question is the
ize Of the majority.
Let us, then, as loyal Kansans
owing our country and our state,
'ote for their best interests and to
usiain the policies that have made
is great.
