and North Dakota the Democrats also
have these pledges in their platform
and In nine states the initiative and
referendum are already in the constf-
tuition in force and effect. These
states are Maine, Missouri. Oklahoma,
Montana, Arkansas, Colorado, Nevada,
South Dakota and Oregon. 1t Is plain
that this movement is national. The
parallel to the initiative and referen-
dunn. And if our party in Kansas re-
fuses to redeem its pledges the next
state legislature will find US confront
ed by a distrustfu1 and angry people.
The pledge for a direct vote upon
United States senators and the pledge
for a vote as to presidential preference
for party nominees are also national
issues. If we fail to redeem these
p sdges at this time, future pledges
made by our party will necessarily he
more or less discredited.
Therefore as the official head of tine
party, DESTROYS of it's success we the
undersigned most earnestly urge upon
all Republicans of whatever faith, fac
ton or creed to consider how serious
situation we are making. AS the chair
man and secretary of the Republican
state committee we formally request
Republicans in Kansas to petition, to
write or to wire their senators and
members of the house insisting that
these party pledges to be redeemed. For
if we fail in the state, the county tick
cts will fail also. Failure of this leg
islature will endanger us all along the
line. The initiative and referendum
and recall have passed the house in
excellent shape. They will come before
the senate on special orders on Tues
day. Time passes. Therefore, / urge
that citizens wire their senators to
make it plain that purely as a party
expedient, we should redeem those
pledges. 1t makes difference what
the senators personally believe in re-
gard to these matters. Because they
are not asked to enact these constitu-
tionai amendments, but only to put
them on the ballot in 1912 and let the
people decide whether to- enact them
or reject them. It is a matter of such
serious import to our party in Kansas
that we, who sign our names below
feel that we are justified in this crisis
in arousing between campaigns all the
fairness and patriotism associated by
our party's name and organization to
lend strength and impetus to the
movement. This strength and impetus
must come from the rank and file OF
the party to their representatives in
both branches of the legislature. The
time to act is now. For Republicanism
may not be crippled as to its state
ticket without threatening the defeat
of congressmen, members of the legis-
lature and candidates upon county
tickets all over Kansas. Our platform
was so specific in its promises and was
adopted at the party council unoer
such fair rules by such an overwhelrn-
ing majority that the burden of duty
10 redeem those pledges is heavier than
ever before The crisis that will come
if we should fail Is facing us.

DOLLEY TAKES HAND.
Urges the Legislature to Redeem
Party Pledges.

]. N. Dolley, chairman of the Re-
publican state committee, has issued
an official statement in which he urges
the legislature to observe the pledges
made during the campaign. In this
manifesto Mr.. Dolley says:
To the Republicans of Kansas:
During the campaign preceding the
last election the Republican state
committee had perhaps fifty speakers
out addressing the people Of every
county and hamlet in Kansas. These
speakers carried with them the Re-
publican state platform as adopted by
the party council and were specifically
instructed by the chairman to promise
the people that this platform would
be fully enacted into laws at the COM
ing session of the legislature should

the full responsibility for the redemp-

Washington, Feb. o.-Speaker-to-be
Champ Clark. during an address at
Calvary Baptist church of this city,
alluded to the Jeffries-Johnson fight
as that fake prize fighting affair Of
July last"
None of us think prize fighting a
very agreeable pastime or a nice thing
to be fostered by an enlightened peo-
pie" he said, yet, rs years ago prize
fighting could be carried on in every
state of the union. Today it is against

pity that she did not enact prohibitive
laws against the brutal sport before
that great and scandalous fake was
pulled off in Reno last July"
Mr.. Clark declared that the recent
activity of laymen in religious affairs
had done much. good and that more
good was to be expected from this CO.
operation OF the laity with the clergy.
He declared that President Taft, Col.
Roosevelt and William Jennings Bryan
were qualified to go into the pulpit
and preach sermons. He would not be
surprised, he said, if Col. Roosevelt Or
Mr.. Bryan ended as preachers.

states welfare must veto them. But
fortunately now it seems likely that
the pledges concerning public utilities
will be satisfactorily kept
The working mems compensation
act and employers liability law also
seem fairly near, redemption. Those
pledges concerning economic changes,
however, are not so fundamental as
are our pledges in which we promised
to put the government more directly
into the hands of the people of our
state. We have promised the people
direct legislation through the initia-
tive and referendum, and also the re-
call. We have promised Kansas a di-
rect vote upon United States senators
under the Oregon plan and a direct
vote for the nominees of their party
for the president, vice president and
delegates to the national convention.
When we redeem those promises we
will have put the machinery of gov
eminent directly into the hands of the
voters as we agreed to do. With
those tools the citizens may accom-
p1ish in their own way and at their
own time such economic changes as
may seem just. But it is those very
promises of further political power to
the voters that are in such danger.
Yet other states have these privileges
in the hands of the citizens. More
over, the initiative and referendum is
now before seven American state leg
islatures, each a sound Republican
state, either as a pledge of a Republi-
can state convention like ours, or at
the urgent demand of a newly elected
Republican governor. These states
where the Republicans have endorsed
the initiative and referendum or
where Republican governors are de-
manding it for the people, are Michi-
gan, Illinois, Wisconsin, California,
Nebraska, Wyoming and Kansas. In

PURELY VEGETABLE
TEE ONE SAFE BLOOD REMEDY

It is a generally recognized fact
that medicines taken from the botan-
ica1 kingdom are better adapted to
the delicate human system, and safer
in every way than those composed of
strong mineral mixtures. Among
the very best and safest of vegetable
preparations is S. S. S., blood med
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and
barks, in such combination as to
make it the greatest of all blood puri-
fers and the finest of all tonics.
S. S. S. does not contain the least
particle of mineral in any form, and
is an absolutely safe medicine for any
one to use. While purifying the
blood, this great vegetable remedy
builds up every portion of the system.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh,
Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases,
Scrofu1a, Constitutional Blood Dis
eases, and all impurities and morbid
conditions of the circulation. It is
perfectly reliable and safe for children;
and little ones who have been weak
ened with scrofulous affections or
other inherited blood troubles, can
take this mild vegetable remedy with
good results and without the slightest
danger. S. S. s. Is unequal1ed as a
tonic; it invigorates every portion Of
the system, and the healthy blood it
creates largely assists in overcoming
any arrangement of the stomach
and digestive system. If you need a
blood medicine you could do no better
than to take S. S. S. It has been in
use for more than forty years and is
still recognized as the best. Book on
the blood free to ali who write.

HOLLANDS LINEUP COMPLETE.
Gets Borton, Promising First Base
man From Chicago White Sox.

Gets Borton, Promising First Base
man From Chicago White Sox.
st. Joseph, Feb. 20.-First Baseman
Borton, secured by Manager Jack Hol-
land of the Drummers for the season
of 1911 from Comiskey's Chicago White
Sox, looks good in the record book.
Borton played last season with the
Ottumwa, Ia, club of the Central as
ISOLATION, the same club to which Hol-
land sold Tay Kensel, the little Pueblo
infielder.
In fielding Borton practically led the
league, as none of the other first sack
ers played as many games as he. His
fielding average for the entire season
was $3.50, and he stands near the top of
the list in batting, with 1893.
With the contracts of 20 players
slowed away in the archives and the
signed receipts of the remaining Drum
mers, Manager Holland is nearly
through with the work Of lining up his
men for the coming Western league
campaign
The players who have signed to date
are: John Gossett, Charles Shaffer. T.
E. Clarke, Earl Hill, Carl Zimmerman,
Robert Mienke, D. NJ. Tierney, C. D.
Pierce, r. H. Malchan, Dick Kaufman,
Edward Lowthers, Joe Kelley, Lee Ma
honey. Thomas Wright, L. v. Banter,
Henry Chelette, Harry watson, James
Hanifan, Ray Powell and Frank Coe
Johnson, Boles, Goodrich. McChesney
and Crutcher are still holding out but
Holland expect every one Of them to
come through in due time.
1t is Hollands intention to order
some 25 men to report here in March
for the training season and the process
of elimination will be commenced in a.
few days Holland has more players
on the string than he can possibly use
