to know there is going to be a fight in
Kansas against the masquerading
Judas Iscariots who have crept in the
Republican party in disguise in order
to disgrace and wreck the party AM
the nation. Stubs and Roosevelt and
their following are simply confederate
gang of political pirates and criminal
crooks. "a set Of dreamers and drivers,
not doors, whooping hurrah boys? II
looks to me like the Bull Moose party
and the socialists are aiming at and
headed at the same thing"
H. C. Smeltzer, Dighton-"The Re
publicans in this county are getting on
their fighting clothes the way the party
is being butchered up. They are get
ting tired the way Stubs, White, AL
len and the Capper machine is running
the party. The editorials in the To-
peka Capital are no better than the
kind we get in the Appeal to Reason.
If Arthur Capper wants to do the
square thing he will come out in his
paper and endorse the national Re-
publican ticket or decline the nominal
ton. He can't stay in the Republic
can party and do the way he is DOING

Journal I am only common citizen.

and sharks are trying to swallow the
Republican party"
DR.. G. A Ogg, DouglaSs-"I am for
the defeat this fall of Stubbs and the
rest of the fake reformers, and grand
standing traitors masquerading as Re-

to destroy the traitors in our ranks

off the Republican ticket. If they

A Q. Miller, Belleville Telescope:
sit is time for the Republicans of the
state to rise up and protest against
the theft of the party organization. 1t
is time we expose the hypocrisy of al
legged Republicans running in candi-
dates on the real Republican ticket.
This demagoguery has been imposed
upon the voters of Kansas long enough
it is time the mask was torn off. 1t
is time to purge the party of a few
roughnecks who have been causing all
kinds of trouble. Nothing short of
surgical operation will relieve and save
the party from the chronic ailment
with it has been suffering since Gov
ernor Stubbs entered politics six years
ago.
S. E. McMurtry, Coffeyville: 1--WE
are Republicans first and always. Send
