an address at Mankato by the Rev
Jerry Botkin'who, among other things
displayed copies Of some Of the filthy
advertising carried by the TOPEKA edi.

Capper is referred to as "A man
whose greed for money has Slapped
whatever of manhood he may have
mad and made him Just what he Is
and has been for decade. an enemy

'Botkin Performing a Real Service"
Is as follows:

cAPPER LOST HEAVILY.
Capper lost heavily by the expo

backed up by evidence unanswerable'
II there was father in that audi.

Topeka boss, the man whose ill.got.
ten millions represent the income from
hlthy and obscene advertising that
corrupts and pollutes the home, he is
a rank partisan whose partisanshlp is
menace to our state and nation.
The Monitor has always esteemed
Arthur Capper as a man and opposed
him with great reluctance for the rea.
son that he was attempting to secure
the highest Office in the state as a
Republican while. boiling the ticket
personally and through all his 81 va.
rieties of papers. We confess we
we're in error in our judgment Of the
man. We had thought him a great
business success because Of his q.
amassed. fortunes as q publisher. That
attitude is now changed. Rev. Mr..
Botkin laid bare record that reeks
with indecency and moral cowardIce'
and proves Capper beyond a doubt
an enemy OF society, too greedy to-
be governor, and too contemplate for
good citizenship.
The Monitor 10 right glad that the
Republican party is rid ,of his weight

WOULD BUY GOVERNORS CHAIR.
Rev. Jerry Botkin has done his
state a great and patriotic service by
exposing this meeh-eyed .fakir In his
effort to buy his way into the gov.
ernor's chair with tainted money
greedily grabbed from illegitimate !

The Monitor thinks too much of Its ]
army OF readers among the boys and
girls Of Jewell county to reproduce

ments. Besides the postal laws are
rtrict against such indecent and I'm!
moral announcements. 81
From this time on the Monitor vim
oppose Capper not only as a Big Boss
and millionaire corruptionist, as a poI
litical renegade and tool Of Old BIN
Nelson, but as q man whose greed
for money has sapped whatever a
manhood he may have had and made
