important things done for the good
of the State that were not in the
platform. The Republicans of Kan
sas are entitled to win on the record
they have made in the past four
years. That they have carried out
every pledge made the people is a
guaranty that they will carry cut
their pledges in the future. If they
should be defeated, which they
won't, it would simply show that it
doesn't pay to fulfill promises; that
the people don't appreciate honest
endeavor and faithful performance.
I have too much faith in the people
of Kansas to think, for a moment,
that they would turn down party

things it promises them but many
others which benefit them"

their army maisnalled and ready for
the fight all along the line.
"No factions" is the slogan
adopted by Chairman Dolley in the
treatment of Republicans in this
campaign. 1t isn't what one used
to be but what he is today, with
Dolley. No partlality will be shown.
He will treat all Republicans alike.
He says he proposes to run har-
monious campaign and wants the
advice of every Republican, re.
gardless of past affiliations. Dol
ley's election as Chairman of the
state committee brought about har
mony in the party. All the leaders,
representing every element. were in
favor of him, and us'd their In
huence to make his election by
reclamation. He is therefore in
shape to take the position, which he
has taken, namely to treat every
body alike. 81 gladly welcome the
cooperation and advice of every
Republican IN the state" said he,
"and with such harmonious action
a sweeping Republican victory is
assured"
Within a few days Chairman Dol
ley will 60 to Chicago to confer
with the National Campaign mana
gers in regard to outside speakers
for Kansas. The National Com
mittee wants to bill several Kansas
speakers In other states and Dolley
wants to get some big outsiders for
Kansas in exchange. He is now
making up list of the big guns he
will ask for and while in Chicago he
will find out exactly what can be
done in the matter.
eff tho Republicans don't win a
tremendous victory in Kansas this
year, said Governor Hcch in dis
cussing political conditions, cit will
be sad comm entary on affairs.
