letter, naturally congratulated Mr.
Burge and wrote back a letter tell
ing what kind of man the laboring
men of Kansas should vote for.
Mr.. Burge also sent copies of this
letter broadcast. The laboring men
are not making a fight on Stubbs.
The fight is solely in the minds of
Mr.. Burge, Mr.. Leland and the
Leland publicity bureau.

the true situation in Kansas he
would not have written N. B. Burge

Stubbs and for somebody 'friendly

The most pertinent part of his dis
course, locally, was spoken by Stubbs
in closing. After he had decended
from the platform and the chairman.

remarks, Stubbs mounted chair and |
declared: II have been told that the

BRJS7OW HAS A PLAT
FORM; LONG A
VACUUM.

Bristow's public service Is in
singular contrast with Longs. Long
has been in congress dozen years
or more. and, presumably, is a
student of governmental problems
But he mantled the cheek of every
intelligent Kansan with shame,
when he recently declared that he
had no views upon public questions,
and would have none until after the
Chicago convention. In his seven
teen.column confession of guilt and
plea for mercy, at Emporia. he
justified numerous votes for repre-
hensible measures by reciting that
certain other senators did the same
thing, and in a few instances, ex-
planning his vote upon the ground
of "party regularity" l may be In
error, but my belief is that Kansas
republicans want senator who can
,efend his official acts from the
standard of right-a man who has
intelligence enough to vote with his
party when it is right, and courage
enough to vote against it when it is
wrong. A senator representing
robust and vigorous state, should be
man, not a graphophone. He
should be master, not disciple
Mr.. Long justifies several votes
by naming some of the men who
voted the same way he did. Here
are few names he mentions as a
windication of his course: Cannon,
'Grosve,or, Sherman, Dalzell, Cat
derhead, Dolliyer, Hopkins, Allison
and Hiatt.
Bristow carries his sovereignty
under his own hat, and has opinions
upon public questions, before as
we'll as after the convention.
Months ago Long said he would
again be a candidate for senator,
but had no platform. Mcntt& ago
Bristow announced his candidacy
and, without waiting for the con-
vention to tell him what he believed,
proceeded to promulgate his own
views. Here are some of the things
that Bristow stands for, as declared!
in his announcement:
I. III am M favor of a revisionI
of the tariff, at the earliest practi-
cable date. The duty SHOULD be-
taken off of humber, wooI pulp and
other wood products at this session

old veterans marched down to the

made strong impression and it was
evident from tie enthusiasm shown
that he has many friends among the
old soldiers at the home,
"In short he has always stood for
the hig hest conception of civic life in
our city and has always been so
classed by all men without refereace'-
to party" This is the final summing
up of a long laudatory statement re-
garding the personal character OF
W. r. Stubbs, issued oY the Minister
ial Alliance Of Leavenw0rth, Mr..
Stubbs' home. 1t was not necessary,

The fue Italian hand of machine
politics appears ia the attack made
at this time on Mr.. Stubbs on the
grou d that he has takeR no stand in
the Legislature in the direct interest
Of labor aud labor legislation. Mr..
Leland has the sympathy in this COZ
test Of the whiskey interests and tle
corporation interests that have here
Lofore played large part In controll-
ing Kansas politics. His friends are
putting forth the claim that he will
secure the "colored vote" The pres
ent attack on Stuhbs indicates that
he has hopes of "corraling" the
Tabor vote" He has claimed from
the beginning "the old soldier vote"
If we can secure sufficient number
Of special" votes by appeals to class
interest or by arraying particular
classes Of people against his opponent,
he may have h0res of securing a
nomination.
This is typical professional politics.

there is an epidemic of faint-hearted-

anything and portend anything. He
respects the old platitudes as mat
ter of habit, and actually o1nits sturdy
reference to the national conscious
ness which has been the slogan Of
Iionistic demagogues. Palestineis their
main concern. which savors more of
colonization than renationalization
But it must be mentioned that condi-

preached those of Russia. Not alone
does poverty abound but disability
