THAT CAPPER PLATFORM.
John Seaton Says 1t Is Wonderful
Document.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The Republican party has been IN
mercifully stung the past few years by
the advancement of ideas so contrary
to its magnificent prestige to the time
previous to the advent of one Stubs
into the political arena. A decoction
has been brewed, possibly by the
Witch of EndOr." from which any
stretch of the imagination by design
ing manipulators can bring forth any
kind Of a faction and label it "Repub-
lican Party" Arthur Capper, who
with his newspaper seems to endorse
duce, has in his autobiography called
Platform" announced himself for
gubernatorial honors in 1912. won
der if his wonderful essay on good
government would have been an as
sistance to Moses in writing the Ten
Commandments?
This is the first time in my memory
of the state, that a candidate has
made his declarative, intending that
the people shall be instructed very
many months ahead, in a printed per-
sonal platform and, by inference,
bristling with a job lot of charges
against the party that he seeks to
head, as being unworthy up to recent
years. That means to the time of the
advent of I'VE Us and Company
Stubs, square dealers, insurgents, re-
formers, progressives and all the fac
lions of the alleged Republican party.
All the past governors of Kansas
awaited the making of the platform
by the respective state conventions so
far as I know in the times previous to
'in recent years." More anon.
