afiliations, to support Arthur Capper.
the Republican nominee for Governor.
We make this appeal in the firm be-
lief that the people OF Kansas are
broad-minded and patriotic and are
truly DESTROYS Of securing the most
efficient and the most economical ad.
ministration Of public affairs.
Arthur .Capper has never held pub.
lie office and has no entangling ALLAN.
ces with party cliques or factions. He
has no political debts to pay; he 10
under obligations to no special inter.

shown his ability to handle large af-
fairs, By developing and owning at
the age Of Al, one Of the largest pub
fishing houses in the entire country,
giving regular employment to more
than 600 people.
He looks upon the Governor Of the.
state rs the Business Manager Of the
states affairs, and he can be depend
cd upon to bring to the states service
the same ability, the same efficiency,
the same methods Of economy, the
same principles Of square dealing andl
Justice, the same rugged honesty,
which has made his own business so
successful.
Az an editor and publisher no has
always stood for the rights of the peo-
pie and has opposed the injustices
which arise from Special Privileges.
Az Governor he will make aggressive
war upon al forms Of inefiiciency,
graft snd political corruption, whether
found within his own party or outside
Of It.
He stands committed to the lowest
taxes consistent with efficient public
service in o growing state: for the
elimination Of graft in all its forms;
for keeping out the hangers-on, the
jobbers and the political leeches who
feed from the public treasury; for
abolishing the feo-grsbbing system in
all county and state offices; for the
elimination Of all useless officials,
clerks and commissions; for the re-
duction Of excessive salaries and ex-
trAvagant appropriations; for less
tGchnicality and more Justice in the
courts: for legislative acts free from

forcement Of all lRws-in short for a
clean and straight policy in handling
the business Of the state SO as to
effect the greatest good to the great
est number.
Arthur Capper will not use the of
nce as Governor as q stepping stone
TO another ONCE. He will not attempt
to build up Q personal machine. He
is making no revolutionary promises;
but NO man has higher ideals Of the
public service; no man has greater
ability for the performing Of the tasks
that confront Kansas today, and MOI
