"There are as many insurgents in
the east as in the vest declared
Ewing Herbert. editor Of the
Hiawatha (Ean) World. and post
master at that place. TO the repre-
sentative Of the Journal, "if by an
insurgcnt one refers To those who are
dissatisfied without sufficient reason
with things as they are.
THE ideas OF the downtrodden
and oppressed farmer OF ten years ago
now appear in the minds OF town ana
city men who pay more for necessi-
ties. When the farmers had to sell
their produce at low prices they were
sure something WAS wrong. Now that
produce brings high prices, the con-
sumner says something is wrong. IN
~self-deiense, the farmer finds fault
with the prices OF the articles he
buys.
"1f both producer and consumer
are satisfied that something is wrong,
why, then. something viii be wrong.
The many can't stand the pressure Of
discomfort. The many can't weigh the
theory of supply and demand.
THE people OF Kansas are over
whelmed by material prosperity.
But there is some confusion in a
political way because a few select
angels of light, assuming TO possess
most of the intelligence and honesty
of purpose in public affairs. insist
that might ana wrong prevail, Instead
OF the weak and right. Neither the
weak nor mighty are infallible.
THE governor of our state is one
Of the great leaders of the Fault
Finders league. William Allen White
is his press agent. The governor finds
fault with the president of our
try and with the federal courts. The
alleged reforms he stands for are his
own and not those Of his party.
Mr.. White dared those who dis
agreed with the n~on-partisan gov
ernor to oppose the governors candi-
dacN for Il second term with a repuh-
lican party candidate. The dare was
accepted. A great conference was
held at the state capital, attended by
at least ten republican delegates from
each of the one hundred counties in
the state. Thomas Wagstaff, "A re-
publican, Was nominated TO oppose
the non-partisan governor, and the
republican national platform was in
dorsed and the president OF our coun-
try upheld by resolutions adopted
with cheers.
The governors party perfidy was
denounced and the waste and extraVa-
gance of his administration exposed
and attacked. He is held account

ton OF republican candidates Tor con-
gress. He is "A man of great wealth.
and is supposed TO ave operated his
barrel to pay the cost of the campaign
OF those opposed to the supremacy OF
the republican party organization in
state and nation.
THE result is certain to be that
Kansas will continue to be republican

a gain to the democratic organization.
In each congressional district there
is a republican candidate and q fault

have opposition. AIR. Madison has
not yet been given up as totally
against a continuance of republican
power, but If he should so declare
himself doubtless a republican will
be selected to oppose him.
THE republicans of Kansas are for

who construct and upbuild for the

"The east and the west should not
be divided by the many false issues.
