SENATOR KENYON IN CRAWFORD

We desire to impress upon the re.
publicans of the county that Senator
Kenyon will be in the county all day
Friday making an automobile tour
starting at Vail about 8 o'clock in the
morning and taking in West Side,, Ma
nilla. Arion, Dow City, Charter Oak
Ricketts,, Schleswig, Kiron, Deloit and
Denison. And that on this trip he
viii be accompanied by Mr.: J.. M
Fouts, and candidates for county of;
fees and other republicans.
The object of this trip will be to en-
able the voters to meet the candidates
and especially Senator Kenyon, who
is the nominee of the republican party
for United States senator: No young
man for many years has made such
a distinct impression upon the people
of the state and country, regardless
of party, as has Senator Kenyon dur
ing the short time he has been in pub
lie office. From the first minute he
entered the United States senate he
has been a potent factor in legisla-
ton, and in everything else that per-
tains to the work of the senate.
The remarkable thing about Sen
ator Kenyon is the fact that every per-
son who looks into his face or follows
his record is compelled to admit that
he is an honest man who would spurn
the thought of graft or crookedness of
any kind. 1t was his reputation for
supreme honesty in public life that
gave him the tremendous and unpre-
cedented vote which he received at
the primary last June, and which will
win for him signal victory at the
coming election. The voters of the
county should understand that under
our present system of government
the only way to vote for candidate
for United States senator Is to vote

proceedings at Chicago became per
fectly plain. He was there to force
his own nomination. or to smash the
convention. If he had evidence tt
prove that Taft could not be honestly
and fairly nominated, why did he
not direct his lieutenants to presen,
that evidence to the national com
mittee and then to the convention and
the country so clearly that the con
vention would not have dared to nom
mate Taft, and that Taft could not
have accepted the nomination if made
< :: j !. 4 He could not enter upon
such an analysis of the evidence as
delegates in the minority without in
evitably subjecting his own spurious
ly credentialed delegates to an exami
nation so critical as to expose the
falsity of his own contention that he
had an honestly elected majority OF
the delegates. He therefore deliber
ately chose to claim everything. to cry
fraud, to bully the national commit
tee and the convention and sought tC
create a condition which would make
impossible a calm investigation OF
cases upon merit and to carry the con
vention by storm. He filled the pub
lie ear with sound and fury. He ruth
lessly sacrificed everything to the one
idea of his being a candidate. He sub
mitted no suggestion as to platform
of progressive principles. He clam
ored loudly for purging the conven
ton roll of tainted delegates without
purging his own candidacy of his
tainted contest and his tainted trus1
support. He offered no reason for {
third party except his own overmast
ering craving for a third term
If any follower of Theodore Roose
welt will but lay aside his prejudice
and will accept the facts in regard tc
the seating of delegates at Chicago
he will be forced to the same conclus
ion as Senator La Toilette. There
never was a more defenseless course
pursued by any politician than that by
Roosevelt at the Chicago convention
We can sympathize with him in his
narrow escape from death at the hand
of an assassin, but we cannot sym
pathize with the weakness and insin.
cerity he has shown. After the re-
publican party has kept him in office
for the number of years it has, and
has heaped upon him one honor after
another, il certainly shows want of
gratitude on his part for him to now
boast that he is breaking up the party.
1t is asking too much to demand that
self-respecting republicans shall now
desert their party to follow him. We
appeal to all republicans to stop and
think before taking step which
means the disruption of party which
has brought more happiness and pros
perity to the country than any other
political party during the entire his
tory of the country.

HYPOCRISY or THEo. ROOSEVELT

Senator Robert M. La Toilette, in
a late article in his magazine, ex'
poses the hypocrisy of Theodore
Roosevelt in making loud cutlery at
Chicago against the fraud which he
professed to believe the national COM
mittee intended to perpetrate lin pass
ing upon the contests which were to
he brought before it. He says:
"This served the double purpose OF
diverting attention from his own
fraudulent contests and discrediting
the decision of the national committee
in advance of it's action. While the
national committee was engaged in
hearing and deciding the contests,
Roosevelt and his followers vigorously
denounced at every stage the seating
of Taft delegates as ROBBERY and
theft Their protest was quite as
violent when the committee decided
Justly against Roosevelt as when it
decided unjustly against him."
Senator La FOleltte then tells in his
magazine article of the well-known at
tempt made by the Roosevelt men to
capture the La Toilette delegation by
supporting Governor McGovern, Of
Wisconsin, for temporary chairman,
and of the refusal of La Toilette and
his delegates to acquiesce. He flags
Roosevelt for the trick and then an
alyzes in detail the delegate claims OF
Roosevelt and concludes as follows:

Well, then, there would be no harm
in stopping their running if they could

Stanley Is Satisfied.
Wichita, Kan, Aug. 2.-Concerning the
action of the justices of the United States
error in the Kansas primary ballot case,
Fred Stanley, national Republican com
mitteen1an of this city, said:
The decision of Justices Pitney and
Vandevanter in sustaining our application
for writ of error and passing the merits
of the case to be determined by the full
the reputation of our highest judicial
tribunal for conservative justice. The de- /
cision is not final neither is it a perma-
nent victory for either side. 1t should be
received with satisfaction by all, for it
means that the right party will. in the |
end, prevail, Neither side should expect |
or want more.
IF we are right in our contention. the !
Taft electors will be in the Republican I
column in November, and if we are |
wrong and the Roosevelt electors receive
the most votes next Tuesday then they |
will be entitled to that column.

gracefully bow to the final decision of the |
supreme court in the controversy. am I

day.

eventually the Judgment of the state
court should be affirmed, or the writ
of error dismissed, would equal the in
jury which otherwise could ensue, we
think no supersedeas or kindred order
should be granted"
The Arguments.
The Taft forces were represented in
E. Olmstead of Harrisburg, Pa, and
Richard r. Hite, of Topeka, while the
Roosevelt men had their side of the
case presented by L. w. Keplinger or
Kansas City, Kan, and Representa-
tive F. S. Jackson.
When the two justices settled back
into the big easy chairs Justice Pitney
said they were there to decide a petit
ton for a writ of error on a question
with which he was not very familiar
Just explain this case to US now, MT
Olmstead." he said.
Olmstead started to read from
bulky printed brief. The two Jurists
listened a few seconds. plainly impatl-
ent, and then Justice Pitney again
broke in:
'tOh, no! Not that. Just tell us the
merits of this contention in plain Eng
Iish We want to get right at the
heart of it,
Olmstead then said the action arose

irg on the primary ballot as Republic

Now these men went to Chicago and
participated in the Republican conven-
ticn for a time, but they did not vote

de ties nominated by that convention"
Here Justice Vandevanter broke in
with question::
men did not change their minds after
the Chicago convention, but that they
went into that convention with their
minds made up to bolt the ticket noml-
mated there, do you?"
Yes, that is what L mean," replied
CImstead. when they publicly stated
their attitude the petitioners in this
court to enjoin the placing of their
names on the primary ballot. Before !
the court had decided the matter the
case was docketed into the supreme
court of the state. That body held that

THREE ARE GLAD.
Sessions. Dawson and Davis VIII Not
Have to Pass on T. r. Electors.

There is doubtless JOY today in the
hearts of Charles Sessions, secretary
of state; John S. Dawson, attorney gen.
eraI, and w. f. Davis, state auditor,
because of the decision in the Kansas
presidential electoral case. These three
men constitute the state contest board
and under the Vandevanter-Pitney de-
cision, the contest board will siieStep
the embarrassing situation of hearing
the electoral case after the primaries.
Since the suit against the eight
Roosevelt electoral candidates was
first filed in the Harvey county district
court, it has been apparent that the
electoral troubles would eventually
find their way to the state contest
board. As the case progressed, the
opinion grew that the members of the
board would be forced to meet a sit
uation that was dangerous and en-
barrassing from a political viewpoint,
Now the United States supreme curt
has courteously and kindly interviewed
and will take the burden off the
shoulders of three Kansas officials.
All of the three members of the board
are candidates for reelection in No
vember. To face a situation where the
feeling is as intense as has been dis
played in the electoral case, was a job
that no public official in Kansas is
seeking. 1t meant that the three men
were placed in position of bidding Il
fond goodbye to their jobs, shutting
the case just as they saw it and trust
ing to the whins and sentiments of the
Kansas voters as to the results in No
vember. It meant that they must make
a clean cut decision between the Taft
and Roosevelt electoral candidates
after the nominations were made next
Tuesday.
Now. like a streak of lightning,
comes the decision of the United States
supreme court. 1t assumes jurisdiction
in the case, it grants a writ of error,
it assumes all risk and responsibility
and leaves the three mem berS of the
contest board to conduct their private
campaigns without the embarrassing
complications of being compelled to
arouse the wrath of at least one fac
ton of the Republican voters in the
state. If the -Pitney de-
cision brought good cheer to any fac
ton of the Republican party in Kan
sas or to any man or set of men, none
were so pleased and refreshed by the
news as were Sessions, Dawson and
Davis.
To be sure there is still an oppor-
tunity for other contests in the state, |
but in none of them will the lines be
more closely drawn. or the factional
feeling more intense than in the con-
troversy over the selection of the ten
men who will represent Kansas in the |

Congressman F. S. Jackson, for the
Roosevelt forces, caused a sensation by
saying:
your honors, this case involves more
dynamite than any case that has come

street railway in Chicago began voting at
a. m. today on whether a strike is to

The men are demanding more wages.
They contend their average wage is less
