Kansas and vote as Democrats in
washington. Every insurgent is Just
like every other insurgent. / have
heard several Of them and SO have
you. have yet to hear from an in
surgent's speech in which there was
a patriotic sentiment expressed, Some
way or other the idea Of patriotism
in Republicanism is SO infused in my
mind and heart that it don't sound
like d Republican speech unless we
can hear soHssof'it today
Praises for Taft.
,"Gentlemen, the Republican party
and the great principles of protection
are right and stand before you and
say that ! believe that William II.
Taft is making one of the most able,
most conscientious presidents that
this country has ever had. He is re-
ceiving more criticism than any presi-
dent since the days of Abraham Lin,
coin but l believe that he will ac-
complish more and he has accom-
plished more Of real things in the
last twelve months than some men
could accomplish with big stick in
twelve years.
''The kind of Republicanisn that
we want is the old fashioned kind,
that we have always had, none OF your
insurgent Republicanism, just plain
Republican Republicanism. That Is
the kind we need, just plain everyday
RepubIicanism is the kind of Repuh-
licanism that made this country greet
and glorious and the same patriotism
that has existed in the past is posi-
BILE today and ! believe that the paS
riotism and good Judgment and man
hood Of the Republican party of Kan
Isas will stand for those principles
against what comes, insurgents or
whatever kind.
tom Wagstaff, the bright, ag-
gressive capable young man, full OF
the spirit of Kansas, true Republic
can, with his life in front Of him,
will make a governor for Kansas of
which she will be proud, and his
slokan is Revision of Taxes Down
ward"
Stanley Alleges Extravaganza.
Stanley produced lot Of figures
to show that the present administra-
tion has been an extravagant one as
compared with former administra-
tions. He stated that in 1900 the
expenditures of the governor was
$4,000, whereas this year 1t was
$23 900 or an increase of7O per cent
He stated that during his admins
tration as governor the amount of
the contingent fund was $4,S33, that
during Bailey's administration $2S25,
and that during the first year Gov
ernor stubbs spent in office the ex-
penditure from the fund was $9,266.
He pointed to an increase in ex-
penditures in the department of the
Adjutant General. He stated that in

Because by present rewards and
future promises he has built up the
most powerful and exclusive politi-
cal machine this state has ever known
Ia machine that arrogates to itself
the distribution of all public offices,
the rewards of all party service and
seelcs@to drive from the party ranks
every man who refuses to bow to his
will.
| Because entrenched behind this
machine he permits neither counsel
nor advice from the rank and file of
the party but arrogantly defies them
to place in the field Republican can
didate Tor nomination against him.
Because while candidate for Gov
ernor be is also a candidate for Unit
ed States Senator two years hence.
has selected his own successor and
is using the power given him by the
party to further those ends.
Because not content with debating
nominations for every state office
and for members Of the legislature
he has selected candidates to oppose
six of the Kansas members in Con-
gress. men who have Loyalty support
ed the president, and regardless of
their long service and fitness is de-
termined to defeat them to increase
his ownipower. ..t..
Because he has not hesitated in
the furtherance of his plans to ally
himself with the opposition, depends
for his denomination of the hope Of
Democratic support ana invites DEM
ocratic votes to control Republican
nominations, in violation Of the laws
OF the state.
We heartily endorse the candidacy
of Thomas e. Wagstaff for the Re-
publican nomination for governor. He
knows no faction smaller than the
whole party, is allied to no interests
save those of all Republicans.
In his private life ne is clean, in
his public life courageous and inde-
pendent
He achieved the first successful
enforceGsynt of the prohibitory law
and blazed the way for other Off
cials to follow. If nominated, he
will lead the party to success; If
elected he will give his time and en-
ergy to the administration of the Of
flee, to the wise and economical con-
duct of the states affairs.
without in any waf impairing the
efficiency of any branch of the state
government, he will revise our taxes
downward. He will build no ma
chine, run for no other office and
have no ambition but to serve the
people of Kansas. He will replace

economy, intolerance and proscrip-
tion with friendship and recognition
for every Republican. He will repre-
sent the rank and file Of the party
and strive to heal rather than widen
factional differences.
He brings to the task great ability,
unQuestioned honesty, the energy Of
youth and the experience Of man
hood. Under his leadership success
is certain and a new era of tolerance,
harmony and united effort assured.
We appeal to the Republican voters
Of Kansas who commend the decrease
of national expenditures to condemn
the unnecessary increase Of state ex-
penditures, by uniting to secure the
nomination Of Thomas E. Wagstaff
as Republican candidate for Cover
nor Of Kansas.

Kansas Republicans
Want New Governor

Topeka, April 21.-Thomas e.
Wagstaffs boom for governor was
startedQoff with a rush today. Repub-
alicans from every section of the state
more than 1000 in number, came to
attend this meeting and whoop things
for their favorite candidate. Tne
big Masonic banquet room was pack
I'd, ana enthusiasm was unbounIed.
4, II was an exclusive Wagstaff meet
hing. No effort was made to scatter
u, other candidates. Governor Stubs
recofdl.sW reviewed and Wagstaff
was eulogized in the warmest terms.
CAPTAIN John Seaton of Atchison
said il was the largest Republican
meeting Of he.kind he ever saw IN
Kansas, and be has seen them all
during the past fifty years. The
boss buster meeting six years ago
which launched .Hoch's boom and
which held the record tpp 70 today
looked like country debating So
ciety compared to the Wagstaff af-
fair.
Talks ON Extravaganza.
Former Governor Stanley dealt
chiefly with the extravagances of the
Stubbs' administration. He said that
Stubbs had been Dragging about CIV
ing tie people business admins
tration." Stanley compared expen-
ditures under Stubs administration
with his own. The comparisons we're
made very striking.
Ex-Covernor Hoch's letter also
stirred up great enthusiasm, as did
the telegram from Senator Charles
Curtis.
while many of the Republican
wheel horses Of Kansas were present,
the meeting was composed largely OF

"The critters eyes are sot," said
Colonel Cal Marrow Of Washington

turn back, can't turn the tide"
Stubbs' Defy Answered, Says Bailey
II want to say that l am for the
Republican ticket and the Republican
principles as put forth by William H.
Taft, by the majority of the Republi-
cans. OF necessity we are a govern
ment of majority. If two men run
for congress or any other office the
one receiving the majority even
though it be one vote is just as much
the congressman of the district as
if he had received every vote in that
district The majority rules and the
good citizen bows to the will and the
mandate of the majority.

The resolutions were read by Ew-
ing Herbert and were adopted with
out a dissenting voice. They un-
aualifIedIy endorsed the administra-
ton Of President Taft and the Re-
publican congress in their efforts to
fulfill every pledge of the party and
say:
We believe the rank and file Of
the party win again support him for
the presidency and rebuke the fac
tional leaders who are attempting
to cripple his administration and de-
feat him and the party.
We oppose the denomination Of

1900 the appropriation to the Adju-
tant Generals department was $23,-
45O, whereas in 1903 1t was $71,100
an increase of 200 per cent.
But I'll be frank" said Mr.. Stan
ley, "there is a reason for this. When
/ was governor ! tried to run the
military department on a peace ba-
sis, while at present things are being
run on a war basis"
Mr.. Stanley stated that there had
been great increase in the salary
list in the Bank Commissioners Of
flee since 1900. He stated that in
1900 the appropriation for that de-
partment was $11,656, and the num-
Der Of employees was six, while the ap-
preparation for this year was $S4,5O0
with list of fourteen employees.
Wagstaff Makes Short Speech.
Tom Wagstaff, who was introduced
as "Our David" did not make leng-
thy speech. He was slightly frus-
trated over the many compliments
paid to him, but got away in fair
shape after all. His text. was
whats the Matter with Kansas?"
He talked for some time about the
tariff, the national administration
and national issues, then descended
to state affairs.
ut is my opinion, he said, that
the people Of Kansas are more in
terested in a revision Of the taxes
downward now than in anything else.
1t is not the dollars you make that
count but the dollars you save. The
question of the enforcement Of law
hardly enters this fight. The matten
of the enforcement of all laws is not
a debatable question. Every right
minded man is in favor the the en-
forcement Of law.
Il want to say to Governor Stubbs
and his friends that in this duel l
will permit him to choose his own
weapons. AS the contest warns up
/ expect him to stick to his text as
we'll as to his weapons. II he wants
to accuse me through the Topeka
Capital of being a joke, its all right,
but he must not expect me to sit idle
ana not return the compliment. All
of us who voted for Ross Stubbs for
governor were promised business
administration. We were led to be-
lieve that with his business exper-
ience he would be able to run the
affairs of the state on a sound bust-
ness basis. What has been the re-
suit? This year the taxes are nearly
a million dollars higher than in 1908.
Just because a man is elected to Of
flee once, If he does not make good. is
no reason why he should be re-elect-
ed. When Stubs declared through
the Topeka Capital that he had not
spent by 100000 as much as had
been spent by Governor Hoch during
a similar period re missed the fact
Just $S22, ASSOC, and Mark Tulley,
state treasurer, had furnished him
with the facts. Now the Governor
was either willingly misrepresenting
the facts or was 80 careless that he
deserves your condemnation. take
this to be business proposition. The
governor, like other officials, is your
servant. If you wanted your employe
to render you an accounting wouldn't
you want him to be correct and give
you the absolute facts? l guess So
Wagstaff was cheered loud and
long. 1t didn't make any difference
how flustered he was or how he
tangled his words. he got the cheers
