All of the Democratic nominees
seem to be slated to write letters of
acceptance. This will make quite a
list before it is over with. Colonel
Harris, Lawrence Hawn and A. B.
Carney have all contributed. Mr.. Car
ney makes. the following comments on
the situation:
Il feel especially honored that I
should receive an unsought nomina-
ton in the Democratic convention of
the great state of Kansas, and that
that nomination should be by acola-
nation and unanimous.
Il was born in Kansas and educated
in her schools. She can boast of her
boundless prairies. her mammoth
wheat fields. her cattle. corn, and hogs,
her mineral wealth, the development
of which is in its very infancy, and a
thousand other industrial and CONNER
cial interests, but above them all
educating our boys and girls into
patriotic men and women.
4 shall accept the nomination ten
dered, that of superintendent of public
instruction, and do all in my power
to assisIsthe state committee and the
other candidates associated with me in
this struggle. to free Kansas from rail-
road domino ten, from the greed of
trusts which, haFe throttled legislation
and destroyed legitimate enterprises

ment. What Kansas needs more than
new laws is the impartial enforceme nt
of laws now existing. LET we'll enough

Kansas History repeats her story.
When a political party has grown so
powerful that she fears nothing from
the opposition her entire energies are
used not in the discharge of duty
but in the building of a machine which
shall dictate in each case the successor
in office. Such is the situation in Kan
sas OF the men, have nothing to
say. who have received the Repub-
lican nominations.
THAT they have been selected in
every case to carry out the wishes of
a powerful machine which is domi-
mated by railroads and corporate inter-
ests, is the open story of their late
convention. When the Independent
voter of Kansas balances the two po-
litical parties so that at the polls and
not in the convention it shall be de-
cided who shall fill the states great
offices, then shall Offices become pub
lie trusts.
