LELAND OPPOSED TO
,STUBBS' RECORD.

A report from Abilene of meeting
by Cyrus Leland and B F. Dawes OF
Leavenworth states that MT. Leland
devoted his talk to an attack on the
record of W. R. Stubbs.
Mr.. Stubbs does not seem TO ma"
taken the trouble to look up Mr'
Leland's record and has not had
anything to say of his opponent III
his meetings. Mr.. Leland, however
has given no evidence Of having
changed his views of the uses or
pelitics. He has made a practice or
politics for personal profit during
most of the time that Kansas has
heen a state of the Union. He mas
been a prominent member OF the
bunch of professional politicians VINO
stood between corporate interests and
legislation and increased taxes. de
was for manv years a member OF Tue
national committee ard a collect OF
large corporation contributors TO
compaigus. He has profited 10 InIi-
tics AS Internal revenue collector. a.
pension agent and as a fayotte OF
federal judges, whom he was In
sttumeutal in having appointed to
life office, In lucrative recsiverships
or trusteeships. His political obliga'
lions are many for political favors
received, He is supported az TINS
time by the LIQUOR element, joiniists
aad sympathizers of open saloons and
POINTS in the principal cities OF the
state, as we'll as by railroads ana
other corporations Interested in poll
ti,s. In addition to this support ne
has the old time machine politicians
roofing for him in every county.
II up to the Republican voters to
decide for themselves to what extent
such obligations leave candidate
free 70 devote his administration as
governor to impartial good govern
ment.
Yet MI Leland in his meetings
sneuds his time attacking the record
of stubbs. The record Of Stubbs does
not make any special appeal to any
s2eclal class of people as such, but 1t
should appeal to all classes Of people
alike who are interested in good
government, abolishmeut of graft,
divorce Of the State government from
machine politics and railroad domino
tiops and a general fair deal ty which
ALI would expect to get their rights
and TO be treated on an equality. His
recurd includes the wipiDg cut Of
long time graft amounting to scores
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1908-07-10

OF thousands OF dollars Ia the annual
rake-off by State Treasurers on public
money left on deposit lie banks, abol-
ishment OF the annual s25 900 State
Printer graft; removal of the nine
great State institutions from political
management and extravaganza; abol-
ishment of the free railroad pass
favortisn; doing away with the
scandals in investment Of the State
School Fund, and putting the control
of politics in the hands of the people
through the direct primaries.
This is long record Of things
accomplished in space CT four years,
none Of which would have been done
but for the fighting leadership, the
nerve and persistence, through tenn
porary defeat and backset Of Mr..
Stubbs. 1t is record that stands ia
Spection and that has brought results
1t is not class legislation, yet there j.
no class OF citizens interested IN good
who have not shared the
benefits Of these real reforms.
If a politician with the long auu
known record uf Leland is able To
convince Kansas voters that the
record of Stubs is not entitled to
their confidence and approval, while
his own should be preferred in the
interest of good government, it will
be fair notice that the old style OF
grating machine politics is what the
people of Kansas desire. The verdic
August 4th will hardly be that kind
of verdict Topeka Capital.

That Franchise.

The suggestion that there is nc
limit to the time when the city car
line must build or forfeit its right is
causing some comment. The mat
ter seems simply to have been over
looked.
The management of the under
taking say they are perfectly willing
that the limit should be there. They
say they did not ask for the fran
chise that they might have some
thing to sell, but that they might
build and equip street railway in
Chanute.
We think that provision for the
city to have small share of the
profits after, say ten years, would
be altogether right, and would be a
popular move and not hurt the road.
