Strong and Eloquent Speech
as Temporary Chairman
of Kansas Convention.
lEGIONS Of REFORM HAVE
ARISEN LIKE GIANT FROM SLEEP
Fighting the Greatest Political e Sta
Fifty Years-Nation Trusts Roose-
velt rs 1t has Trusted no Man Since
Abraham Lincoln.

Independence. Kan. May s.-'The
Maine to California have risen up like
a giant coming out of his sleep and
at the opening of another great battle
for the rights of man, demanded the
leadership of Americas greatest pop
ular champion, Theodore Roosevelt" !"
The above declaration was made
here today by Governor Walter r.
stubbs. permanent chairman. conclud-
ing his speech to the state republican
convention.
I'VE are now fighting" said he, "a
political battle royal. the like of which
this country has not witnessed in fifty
years. Problems of greater import
than any we have had to deal with
since the civil war are involved in the
present campaign.
Are We to have a republic for the
classes or for the masses? In this
question is involved one of the greatest
issues in the campaign.
In the nationwide struggle now
pending there is no place for the
straggler. He who is not for govern
ment by the people and for the people
is for the political bosses and corpora
tions. for this is a hand to hand con-
test. There is no middle ground for
the political coward to occupy.
so far as the people of this state
are concerned, we must say for them
that Kansas stands for the principle
>that the men and women who produce
the wealth of this country are not on
ly entitled to, but must have their full
share of it.
THE great leader whose triumphant
banners come today from nearly 100
counties in Kansas. stands for these
principles.
Under his mastery leadership. the
leadership founded upon experience
and buttressed by the faith and con-
f1dence of the masses. We will not yield
an inch until the deliberate voice of
the American people becomes the SUI
preme law of the land; until the Gug-
genheims, the Lorimers, the Penroses
and the Cranes and every other type
of political bosses have been dashed
from public services.
1.-The nation trusts this leader as no
man has been trusted by the common
people since the days of Abraham
Lincoln"

The first time the much-sought-for

alleged murder. and when the detec-

trunk which had been shipped from
Pittsfield on Southern avenue extern
sion. They were too late to make
the arrest. as the family had moved

chase. Searching for many days a
woman answering the description Of
the missing Marie was finally located
in the vicinity of Coraopolis. She was
living with the family of August
Knablach on a farm four miles out
