Take them through the list and
during election years about bali Of
the Republican candidates who are
Stumping the state are making attacks
upon other Republicans snd the other
half are preaching harmony. The
effect ia that by election time the
normal Republican majority in the
state Of about 10000 Il cut In half II
1t isn't reduced almost to nothing, ~
It was two years ago. What IL gained
by these fights? Absolutely nothing.
Why not quit It, and instead, talk
good straight RepublicanismP Every
election year there are thousands Of
young men in Kansas who are casting
their first vote. Why not talk
specially to them, telling them that
the Republican party is the party for
the young men, that 1t is the party
which has been Doing Things for the
past fifty years, the party that has
made the United States the most pro-
gressive and the most marvellous ma
ton in the worldP The people are
going to choose their own candidates
from this time forward. They may
blunder occasionally, but for them to
be deceived will be the exception.
But we should like to see them elect
Republican candidates, and to pro-
mote this end we must spread the
doctrine Of Republicanism. Heaven
worth Times.
