REDUCTIONS Pledged
establishment Of Equitable Maximum
Schedules Is Assured Party Rec
ord Gives The Platform
w Standing.

The Democrats are making their
campaign in Kansas this year on an
anti-railroad issue. Their platform y
50 framed as to persuade the easilS
Influenced voter that the Democrat
candidates for Office can be absolute
" depended upon to do things to the
railroad companies that the Representa-
tives OF no other party will try to 90.
Col. Harris started early In his cam
paign to characterize railroad mama
gers as pirates, thieves and robbers"
When his own inconsistency on rail-
road questions was exposed be
switched and is now pleading con-
servatisrn. His platform pledges him
to a maximum passenger fare Of two
cents q mile. T am not the foe OF the
railroads" he is now saying. Il DO not
want to do them injustice. ] do not
wart them to carry passengers for
two cents a mile unless that is fair
compensation and we can determine
whether 1t is" Then Col. Harris at
tempts to create the impression that
the Republican platform promises
nothing IN the way Of railroad regula-
ton. The Republican platform
speaks for itself. Following is the
plank bearing on reduction in freight
and passenger schedule:
'Thelegislature having conferred up
on the Board Of railroad commission
ers full power to regulate freightand
passenger rates we pledge the nomi-
nees OF this convention upon tlsat
board to speedy and conscientious
examination and determination of all
these questions, and the establish.
ment of such maximum rates for pas.
senger and freight traffic as shall be
Just to the people and the railroads,
and we hereby place ourselves In
harmony with the policy of President
Roosevelt on railroad questions, which
policy we heartily indorse."
And then the Republican party and
Governor Hoch have an advantage
aside from their platform which
commends them to the voters. In 1897
the Democrats and Populists through
fusion controlled the government Of
Kansas In all its branches. They
went into power on a platform pledg-
ing immediate and sweeping railroad
legislation. Col. Harris was chairman
of the senate committee on railroads.
Through the instrmentality Of Harris.
H. P. Farrelly, w. H. Ryan and Bale
Waggener, the legislation they had
promised the people was defeated.
Two years ago Governor Hoch and
the Republican party were voted into
power on platform In which eleven
distinct pledges were made to the
people. The pledges we're all re-
deemed. One pledge was for
stronger railroad law. Governor
Hoch's administration has given the
state what is pronounced to be the
best state railroad law in the Union.
Harris has record of broken prom
Uses while Hoch has record Of re-
deemed pledges. The Republican
platform means something, Harris ut
terances mean nothing.

thus increase our next delegation to at
least 10. Furthermore, II strict pri-
