they are Deing whipped into lines OF
justice and right.
The Sherman Antitrust law has
been amended and strengthened
and is being invoked in the punish,
ment of these law breakers. We
need one other law now, one that
will enable these persistent law
breakers to be thrown into Jail for
good long term of years whenever
convicted and not allowed to get off
with fine. Already there are
number of cases in the supreme
court of the United States against
these fellows and the government
is just now beginning a fight against
the great sugar corporation which
has been robbing the government
and plundering the people systemat-
ically, by false weights and other
means, for some time. This concern
has already been forced to disgorge
large sums of its i'll gotten gains and
now faces a suit for its dissolution.
Ten ef the principal men in the
great packers combine in Chicago
are under arrest and must answer TO
the government for their system Of
business.
1t is the policy of the Republican
party, now in control of this govern
ment, not to tear down and destroy
our great labor employing industrial
concerns, but to threw around them
and enforce such laws as will com
pei them to do business in a fair
and legitimate manner. The party
in Kansas has taken long step
forward and In its platform has
pledged the people many advance
laws and regulations that will give
the people a greater say in the
laws of this state and enable
the state TO exercise a regulating
influence over the various public
utilities of the state when they are
inclined to deal unfairly with the
people or amy portion thereof. Tne
party of this state has pledged its
congressman and senators to support
the tariff commission plan whereby
a commission of expert and coupe
tent men are to look into the various
tariff schedules and determine the
difference in I ost of production in
this and other countries that
congress may be the better able to
maintain in our tariff laws the
principle of protection and give no
set CT men any undue advantage.
The party is firmly pledged to an
honest conservation policy that will
preserve our great national resources
for the benefit of the people at large
instead of for the benefit of the few.
The party has taken an advanced
stand in labor laws in that the
laborer may receive justice IN case
of injury without expensive suits.
The Republican party has always
looked forward and upward for this
great nation and great as have been
its achievements in nation building,
its work is not yet done. The
reforms it has undertaken within
itself whereby graft and greed are to
be checked and the common people
of our grea; commonwealth given a
fair show against combined wealth
and avarice, where honesty and
ability count against cunning a, d
deceit and political campaigns are
to be conducted on higher plane
of honor.
Honor and fairness and everybody
given a fair shake will be the watch
word. The state of Kansas, under
our progressive governor has taken
her place in the front rank OF
progressive states, and, as in all
things else for the betterment OF
mankind, will be leader in the
advance move.
The party of Kansas has a strong
state ticket composed of good and
competent men, men of whom we
are proud as a state and as cit zsns
We deligAt to honor.
