j. $. Dean Repeats the Com
mand of Roosevelt.
Insists Bull Moose Candidates
Leave the Ticket.
BEDE AND HARLAN TONIGHT
VIII Reply to Roosevelt in
Speech at Auditorium.
Candidates for State Office
Enter the Fight.

Now J. S. Dean, president of the Re
publican League, checks the issue
squarely up to the Bull Moose candi-
dates on the state ticket and insists
that they follow their leaders COM
mand and leave the Republican coli
umn. If they insist on being FOR
Roosevelt and not not with him in
the Independent column, Dean ex-
plains in very emphatic language that
a good many things may happen when
the Republican voters go to the polls
in November.
In his utimatum issued to the Bull
Moose candidates today, Dean explains
the situation to Stubs, Capper, Akers
and others of the Big Thirteen in this
language:
THE ex-president issues a Macedon-
ian call for his followers to get over
into the Independent column with him
In his speech at ottawa Saturday, Mr..
Roosevelt said:
If we can't get our ticket the
ballot without having Taft's name over
it, 1 trust that every Progressive can
dfdate will get off the ballot and out
from under the Taft heading. In no
proper sense of the word is Mr.. TAFT
the nominee of the party, but under the
law in Pennsylvania his name had to
go at the head of the ticket. l was
urged to allow the electors who were
instructed for me to stay on the tick
ct under Taft's name, but I refused,
and 1 held then and hold now that no
supporter of mine, with my consent,
shall go on the ticket under a sign
which would lead the voter to believe
he was voting against me-
''The Republican Party league will
aid and assist a third party candidate
by every means within its power to get
his supports over into the Independ-
ent column with the Roosevelt cleo
tors. By all means let every Progress
sive candidate get off the ballot and
out from under the Taft heading Mr.
Stubs, Mr.. Capper ct al, why do you
not follow your leaders call? You
have filled the state for months with
loud claims to the effect that you are
the Progressive candidates Mr..
Roosevelt recognizes you as his fol-
strenuous call for you to come over
with him and vacate the false position
in which you are now situated Re
member the wording of the Roosevelt
battle cry:
Follow. follow,
We will follow Roosevelt,
Anywhere he leads US,
We will follow on.
Besides, gentlemen, you not only |
have the invitation of your adored |
leader calling you to follow, but you |
have a unanimous invitation, amount |
ing actfcaIly to a command, from
every Republican in the state of Kan |
sas to get out of their camp and make |
room for loyal and faithful Republi- |
cans.
again. it is not only the civil and |
decent thing for you to heed and obey |
the call of your leader, but, it is like |
wise the diplomatic thing for you to
swift kicks which the loyal Republi- |
cans of Kansas will surely administer |
to you if you do not voluntarily get
out of their camp"

lican state candidates, itineraries Were |
