A. w. Lafferty, Republican

in Condor next Thursday, 0cto-

Mr.. Lafferty is going over the
entire Congressional district a.

campaign, when he covered 586
miles by stage and nearly 1000
miles by rail. On this trip he
will speak at some places he
missed before the primaries. He
is the only candidate to make
such a strenuous canvass, and
while he feels that his election
by a large majority is certain, he
wants to meet as many as possi-

let them know what he stands
for. He has certain definite
ideas of what Oregon needs at
the hands of Congress, and it
looks like he has the ability to
get it.

these repeated defeats, more
decisive at each election, the
same, measure is again on the
ballot this year. The ballot title
is misleading and indicates a
proposal to give votes to taxpay-

osition which the people have so
often and so recently condemn

this year by an increased major

STATE POWER IN CONGRESS


In an address the other night before
the Ohio society of Washington, Pres
ident Taft pointed out clearly that
the dominating power of the eastern
states in congress is due to the fact
that they keep men in office when they
place them there He contrasted the
influence of the east in legislative af-
fairs with that of the west and attrib-
uted the supremacy of the former to
the continuous service of it's represen-
tatives in congress.
This is a point for the voters of
Kansas to keep in mind when the
time comes for them to participate in
congressional primaries and elections.
For the past few years the Kansas
delegation in congress, particularly in
the house of representatives, has been
growing in power and influence Most
of the Kansas representatives occupy
positions of prominence on several of
the most important committees of the
house. They have achieved this prom
inence, not only because of their abil-
tiles, but for the much more potent
reason that they have been members
of the house for considerable periods
of time and through the valued ex-
perience and seniority thus gained
positions in the house organization
that they now hold.
But Kansas will not occupy a SINH
lar position of power in national leg
islative affairs if, at the next election,
the tried and seasoned members of
the house from this state are cast
adrift and inexperienced representa-
tives are given their places. This is
truth that cannot be denied. It
matters not what changes are made
in the rules of the house for the ap-
pointment of committees. If the
committee appointing power is taken
from the speaker and vested in
committee on Committees plan that
is now being talked aout-the results
will be materially the same. No COM
mittee on committees, charged with
the duty of perfecting a legislative
| machinery that will be capable of do
ing the work demanded of it, is GO
ing to put new and untried members
in responsible positions on committees,
no more than would a speaker with
the committee appointing power do
so. Such would be a ridiculous pro-
cedure, a procedure founded on any,
thing but common sense.
If Kansas is to retain her present en-
viable position of power in the house
OF representatives and increase it, the
necessity is paramount for the reten-
ton in congress of the men who have
gained this power. If these men are
kept at home it will take ten or
dozen years for new representatives
