Final Appeal for CAM
paign Funds.

Chairman Dolley of the Republl-
can state commltte has issued this
final appeal for campaign funds:
"To all loyal Kansans: wish to
thank the Republicans of the state
for their generous response to our
last appeal for funds. The cam
paign is nearing the end. We still
have much expense to meet in DIS
tributing literature and personal
letters and in paying the travelling
expenses of our speakers. The
campaign we are making represents
a specific money value to every
laboring man, farmer and merchant
in Kansas; to the laborer In the
way of steady employment at good
wages; to the farmer in the way OF
continued high prices for his pro.
ducts; 20 the n- erchant in continua
ton of prosperous times, which
enables him to do a profitable
business. More funds are urgently
needed to carry on our work for the
rest of the campaign, and the COM
mlttee makes a final appeal to all
loyal Kansans to contribute i'm m edi
ately to their fullest extent. Please
forward all contributions direct to
Republican state headquarters at
Topeka, and oblige,
81. N. Dolley, Chairman.

In Justice TO Mr.. Bryan.

There is a public misunderstood
ing as to the beginning of Mr.. Bry-
ans advocacy of public ownership
of the railroads which, in justice to
that gentleman, shouldbe corrected.
1t is commonly believed that his
first ,epen declaration In favor of
that project was made in the course
Of his speech in Madison Square
Garden, New York, August 80, 1906,
when he said: "I have already reach
ed the conclusion that railroads
must become public property and
be managed by public officials"
The impression that this was the
first expression of Mr.. Bryan's views
on the question of public ownership
is erroneous. This is shown by the
fact that in an interview reported in
the New York Tribune of September
2, I9o6-three days after his Mad
ison Square Garden speech-Mr.
Bryan remarked: II advocated own
ership two years ago."

undying thought Of the mOsher who
nursed the Continental soldiers until
her death, with Mobile and New
Orleans fresh In his mind, Jackson
wrote to DR.. CClman:
"Heaven smiled upon US and gave
us liberty aud independence. That
same Providence has blessed us with
the means Of national independence
and aational defense. If we omit or
refuse to use the gifts which He has
extended to US we deserve not the
continuation of His blessings. He
mas tllee our mountains and our
plains with minerals-with lead, iron
and copper, and given US a climate
and soil for the growing of hemp and
wool. These being the grand mater

TO have extended TO them adequate

manufactures and laborers may be
placed on a fair competition with
those Of Europe, and that we may

Republican Rule Versus
Democratic Rule.

Sc, retary Wilson of the agricul-
tural department, produces facts
and figures to show that the farmer 6
of the United States produce more
products on an acre of ground under
Republican rule than under Demo
cratic rule. Bryan is eternally rldi-
culing the idea that Republican rule
has anything to do with the pros
perity of the farmer and says that
the Almighty is responsible for
good crops; that he sends the rain
and the sunshine, ETC.; that the
Republicans are not rainmakers nor
do they have corner on the sum
shine. But Secretary Wilson shows
that with the same sunshine and the
same rain the farmers raise more on
the same land under Republican rule
than under Democratic. His ex-
perts took the crop statistics for the
past 40 years and divided them into
1o-year periods. They found that
in the 1o-year period covering
Cleveland's last administration the
farmers only produced ga per cent
of normal crops, while during the
last ten years ending IN 1906 they
produced IoS per cent of the norma
c ops, or ID per cent more than for
the period covering Democratic rule.
In other words that the farmers
raised one seventh more crops on
the same acreage under Republican
rule than under Democratic. His
is that under Demo
cratic rule, with 3o-cent wheat, IS
cent corn, Io-cent oats, 8 cent hogs
and 4.cent cattle the farmers were
1t cost them more to
produce their products than they
received for them. AS a consequence
they became careless and didn't pay
much attention to the cultivation of
their crops. Bat under Republican
rule when they were getting good
prices for their products they would
tend their crops properly and Sc
cure as big yields as possible. |.

The Democratic committee was
opposed to Botkin's speaking before
the union from the start but tine chair
man agreed TO 1t if Botkin were
allowed to make his regular cam
paign speech, which by the way
makes no difference to the eoforce-
ment of the prohibitory law. This
did not SUIT the temperance people
but they agreed to it, thinking the
Rev. 7. ID. Botbin, former presiding
elder, would assert his independence
and talk about what he desired,
after he started. The Democratic
committee became suspicious and
finally iu-y before the day of the
meeting tele pnoned that Mr.. Borkin
could not fill his engagement. And

Should Finish His Work.

While Phil Campbell has done
much in congress during the six
years he has represented this district
in that body, there is much that
yet remains for him to do. Much
of this is along lines he has laid
down, work that he has commenced
and which if he is returned he will
finish. In the last session Mr..
Campbell introduced a bill In the
house prohibiting gambling in the
price of farm products and of stocks
and bonds. The bill had the per.
sonal endorsement of President
Roosevelt, and Mr.. Campbell re.
ceived favorable report from the
committee just before Congress ad
journed. 1t was Mr.. Campbell who
introduced resolution in congress
inquring into the real cause of so
many fatal railway accidents, and
he has secured an investigation into
this by commission.
These are only a few of the mat
tiers now pending in congress that
demands his return where he can
finish the work he has undertaken
Should the people of this district |
send new man to congress, even
admitting his ability, it will be years
before he will be of the value to the
people of the Third District and the
country at large as is Phil Campbell.
No farmer or merchant would under
take to say that the inexperienced
farm hand or clerk could do the
work as well as one who had worked
for them for years. So it is with

The diherenc in the attitude OF
the Democrats and the Republicans
to the liquor situation in Kansas
was never more effectuallY demon
strated than it was in Topeka during
the meeting of the State Temperance
union. The tive candidates for
governor, w. r. Stubbs ahd J. d.
Bolkip, were invited to address the
union. The temperance people
wanted to know how they stood on
the subject of law enforcement.
W. r. Slubbs spoke, Betkin did
not.

On the other hand w. R. Stubs
made an afternoon speech before
the temperance people and talked
law enforcement. He stated thai
he was strongly in favor of a rigid
enforcement of the prohibitory law
that he was a believer in that law
and that if elected governor there
Mould be no sidestePping on his
parl; that all the machinery of state
government would be used by him

with ali other laws on the statute

rance people wanted and they thaek'
ed Mr.. Stubs for his assurance

Taft Sayings.

"The administration of exact
justice by courts without fear or

the wealthy or the threats of the
demagogue, is the highest ideal that

strive for, and any means by which
a suitor, however unpopular or poor,
IS deprived of enjoying this, is to
be condemned" ."-Columbus, Ohio.

For awhile the managers were un-

and it makes a satisfactory showing.
1t shows that Taft is going to get
more votes than Mckinley did in
1900 when he carried the state by

that Tafl's majority will even double
