The st. Louis G1obe-Demo prints
under a Leavenwort date line, a dis
patch to effect that Anthony's big VIC
tory in the First district NAV lead to
his entering the race for the United
States senate. In part, the dispatch is
as follows:
There is one member of the Kan
sas delegation in congress who has
demonstrated that he is a fighter and
who overcame his political enemies in
a way that has caused the state of
Kansas to sit up and take notice. Since
the recent election all Kansas is mar
yelling over the great race and the
enormous majority achieved by Con-
gresham D. R. Anthony. jr, in his
campaign for reelection in the First
district. The returns show Mr.. An
thony received 1852 majority oyer j.
3. Chapman, his independent Demo-
cratic opponent, which is the largest
majority ever given a candidate who
had opposition in any congressional
district in Kansas.
when the insurgent wave struck
Kansas, Mr.. Anthony, while consis-
tent advocate and supporter of all pro-
greSsiVe legislation, stood Stoutly by
the regular Republican organization
and steadfastly upheld the administra-
ton of President Taft. which was at
tackled on all sides in the Kansas cam
paign. When Governor Stubbs criti-
cised the national administration poll
cies Mr. Anthony detied the governor
and attacked him vigorously in his
newspaper and from the stump
when : in the primary campaign
Senator Bristow came into Anthony's
district in the interest of his opponent
Anthony exposed the falsity and decep-
tiOn in BriStoW'S attitude on the rub
Der schedule. Congressman Victor Muir
dock also invaded the First district
during the campaign to oppose Con-
gresham Anthony. And Anthony won
this most remarkable victory after one
of the most intense newspaper AMI
political fights which had ever been
waged against a Republican candidate
for a federal office in Kansas.
Mr.. AnthonyS majority this year is
nearly $500 greater than two years ago.
The election returns show that while
Governor StubbS. running for re-elec-
ton, lost the First congressional dis.
trict by 700 votes, Anthony carried it
by 1852, thereby leading the head Of
the party ticket by over 15,020 in the
way of a majority.
Republicans in all parts of Kansas
are congratulating Mr.. Anthony and
many are urging him to become a can
didate for United States senator. 1t
is pointed out that Anthony is well
j qualified and the proper man to lead in
a race 20 restore normal political con-
ditions in Kansas and place the state
in its rightful position before the coun-
try.
1.-The great victory achieved by Con-
gresham Anthony is not due to any
compromising or side-stepping. He
stood out boldly and aggressiveIy for all
the fundamental principles of the Re
publican party. When the Party Coun-
cil,' as it is termed under the new pri-
mary election law. met in Topeka the
latter part of August it was apparent
that the insurgents and old-time Pop
ulist radicals would be in control, and
that a wild platform would be adopted
in the name of the Republican party.
I'm anticipation of this First con-
gressional district party council was
held, the only one in eight congress
sioual districts of the state, and a real
genuine Republican platform was
adopted The administration of Presi-
dent Taft was heartily Endorsed and
strong declaration was made in favor
of the protective tariff system and all
well known Republican party princf-
pies"
The above story is sensational. to
say the least. Anthony's friend, Sena-
! tor Curtis, and his enemy, Governor
Stubbs. will both snort in anger when
they read it.
The claim that Anthony's paper at
Leavenworth fought Stubbs and that
insurgent leaders foughtAnthony is not
