THIS IS TREASON
Dean Charges Stubbs and Dol
ley Confer With Enemy.
Their Conference With Gov.
Johnson Was ReprehensibIe.

Attorney J. S. Dean, who believes
that any man who is not aincereIy
working for the success of s.iI ''straig ht
Republicans is not himself u Repub-
lican, charges Chairman Dodey ard
Governor Stu5bs with treachery to the
party in their conference with Hiram
johnson, Progressive nominee for wee
president Deans charges against
White-Stubbs-Dolley and Others in
clude the crimes of high treason,
grand larceny, conspiracy and treach-
cry for the disruption and destruction
of the Republican party IN Kansas.
This is the way Dean views She con-
ference of the Bull Moose leader with
the Republican nominee for the United
States senate, the chairman OF the Re
publican state central committee, and
several candidates for state office On
the Republican ticket:
"A man cannot be in two parties at
the same time any more than he can
be in two places at the same time we
are engaged in a political fight in
which there are three PRINCIPAL antag-
onists. The Republican ISIS are in
one army; the Demo ocratic hosts in an
other; and the Bull Moose, or the
Perkins Roosevelt Steel trust aggrega-
tion, constitutes the third. Each IS
fighting its battle against 9th the
others.
IF an attempt was made to have
the Democratic electors or Democratic
candidates for United states senate or
congress printed on the ballot in the
Republican column no one would qhSs-
ton the perfidious treachery of t.ae
act Has the Bull Mooser any better
claim to go on the ballot III the he
publican column than the. Democrat!
Their candidate does not pretend 70
be a Republican. In his Chicago
speech on August 6, he stated that
new party is an absolute necessity, and
he assailed both the Republican and
Democratic party in mis- Chicago
speech, as being nothing but 'husks-'

former allegiance to the 1tepuDilcan
party and organized new party OF

nublican party?' He answered: 'They
are dead. Out of business Is it not
clear that this party of which Roosevelt
and johnson are the candidates are
fighting, eliminating, trying to destroy
+he Republican party? Can soldier at
the same time belong to two armies
that are fighting each other?'
That Stubbs Conference.
'I see further that this blatherskite
Johnson was in conference most of the
day with Stubbs, Dolley, w. A. White,
and others What were they comforting
a bout? / want to ask the Republicans
of Kansas to consider the situation
carefully Was Stubbs, Dolley. Cover
nor johnson and w. A. White confer
ring with each other Cor the purpose
of advancing the interests of the Re
publican party, or, for the purpose Of
accomplishing its defeat and destruc-
ton? Everybody knows that they were
plotting together to defeat the Republi-
can party and to secure the success of
the candidates of another party. With
the exception of White and Johnson
who are fighting under their true colors
this bunch of worthless are wearing
the Republican uniform but contending
with all their power and cunning to de-
feat the Republican cause.
why are not these Kansas Bull
Moosers honest enough and courageous
enough to take off the Republican uni
form, which they have no right to wear,
and fight like men under their true
eolors? The Republican voters will not
be deceived in November. They viii
dislike very much to fire through the
time honored uniform o. the party but
none will hesitate to do so when it is
