TAFT VICTORY IN KANSAS
President Pleased with Results
of the Primary.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Aug 9.-President Taft q
highly pleased with the results OF the
Kansas primaries, which gave pluralities
TO Senator Curtis and Representatives
Campbell and Anthony. In the case Of
Senator Curtis. who carried the state by
a majority Of 5000 over his opponent,
Governor Stubs, the denomination is In
doubt because of the fact that the law
of Kansas provides that a candidate for
Senator must carry. majority of the
legislative districts. In this event, ac-
cording to unoricial returns Governor
Stubs has captured the nomination. But
the poor showing made by Governor
Stubs in the primaries. in view Of the re
iterated statement that Kansas was a
hot Roosevelt and Stubs state, is most
gratifying TO the President, his able sup
porters In that state and the Republican
party at large.
Representatives Campbell and Anthony
have won a great victory in the face OF
great odds, their fine showing in the pri-
maries being regarded as Taft victory.
Senator Crane said at the White House
to-day that il Roosevelt cannot carry
Kansas, which Is supposedly red hot for
the Progressive nominee, he cannot carry
a state in the Union. The Senator de-
cIared that Stubbss defeat amounted to
a Roosevelt defeat.
Topeka, Aug. with returns from ali
of the l05 counties. friends OF Governor
Stubs to-day claim his nomination TO tho
United States Senatorship in Tuesday S
primary. Returns indicate that Stubs
has carried 100 OF the 1s5 legislative dis
tricts.
William II. Thompson probably is the
Democratic Senatorial nominee, Bota
Billiard and Hodges claim the Democrats
Governorship nomination, with returns
missing from nearly forty counties.

DO NOT STRADDLE.

In view Of the fact that so many
voters have been turned against Gov.
Blease in the past week or so, we want
to say little bit more today about
voting for John Duncan. Let 1t be
understood here again, as we said last
week, that we are not asking any
body to vote against John Duncan If
they think John Duncan is the best
man, though we must believe that few
believe that. We only want to i'm
press upon the doubtful ones that to
vote for John Duncan amounts to the
same thing as voting for Blease We
do not believe In voting for the man
who seems most likely to get elected
We believe in voting for the man
whom we think Is best fitted for the
place, We are sure that all agree
with us when we say and repeat
that 1t is our duty to vote for the best
man. 1t is not only our duty to vote
against the man whom we think is
not htted for the place, but we must
vote for the man whom we think Is
fitted for the place. Therefore, when
we come to decide that Blease is not
the best man. we should then come out
like a man and vote for him whom we
think Is the best man. We should not
dodge the issue by voting for one who
has absolutely no chance, just because
we do not wish to admit that we have
been wrong heretofore. If Jones is
better than Duncan, vote for Jones. If
Duncan is better than Jones, vote for
Duncan. If there are any who
