Reply TO a Voter

Mr.. EDIToR-I must beg leave
to intrude upon your space to brief
ly reply to an article in last weeks
Globe.
The Globe understands" that
Mr.. Cones stands squarely upon the
Republican platform and then gives
the railroad plank. Now the Re-
publican platform, both state and
national, has been made and adopt
ed since Mr.. Cones was nominated.
have yet to hear of any public dec
llaration of Mr.. Cones as to his pos
ition on that platform or upon any
issue. l have heard him quoted as
having said in private conversation
that he thought the railroads were
doing the best they could. l hope
he was not correctly quoted, for 1
want to say right here that what 1
have written has not been to further
the interest of any candidate but for
the welfare of this Representative
district in particular and the state
of Kansas in general. l have so
thoroughly purged myself of party
prejudice that 1 want to support the
candidate for representative from
this district best fitted by ability
and disposition to render valuable
service In the fight for remedial rail
road legislation.
The Republican railroad plank is
very nice and mild. 1t stands for
the enforcement of existing laws and
for such amendments as experience
shall prove necessary. Now if a
candidate on the Republican plat
form would stand forth and say what
amendments in his judgment were
necessary and that he would use his
best endeavors to secure them, then
a voter could vote intelligently. Or
If he would state that he sees moth
ing wrong in present conditions and
that the railroads are doing the best
they can. You would then know
what to expect.
Mr.. Fuhr is in very awkward
position when in his endeavors to
set Mr.. Cones right before the peo-
pie he can only say that he under
stands" that Mr.. Cones stands on a
certain platform.
On the last page of last weeks
Globe l find an article evidently
written by a friend of mine engaged
In the real estate business, and kind
ly dedicated to your humble servant.
This is a nicely written article and
contains some nice sentiment in
which l concur. regret, however,
that the writer masks himself under
a nom de plume. 1t is a matter to
be further regretted that the writer
while thus masked gave Mr.. Hayden
some cruel stabs. Any citizen may
openly assail the official acts of any
public officer, hence, there is no oc-
casion or justification for an assault
of that kind under a mask. My
friend says that 1 Inadvertently paid
Mr.. Cones a compliment. There is
where he is wrong for I am not
averse to paying Mr.. Cones COM
pliment. I must confess that 1
hardly regard it as much of a COM
pliment to say that man is doing
so popular a thing as to support
Roosevelt. The man. who chal-
lenges my admiration is he who fol-
lows his own convictions when run
ming adverse to public sentiment.
Now, my friend, when you come
again, come with your mask off.
Nom de plumes are appropriate
masks for writers of poetry and ic-
ton but decidedly out of place in a
political campaign.
