committee, has been issued by State
Chairman Henderson Martin of the
Democratic committee. The second
chapter deals with Arthur Gamer

and calls attention to the fact that
Capper in his candidacy for Governor
eiams that be is opposed to the in
heritance tax law, Notwithstanding
mat in 1910 Capper's pager, the
Daily Capital, editorially championed
the law. Mr.. Martin wants to know
when it was that Capper STAYED On
the job, as Mr.. Dolly he's proudly de.
ctared all Republican candidates for
state offices have done.
Was 1t when he wrote his plat
form, or was it when he wrote this

vicdng more horse, harness and click.

Mr.. Little is a member Of the Cen.
trail Protective Association, common.
y known as the Horse League.
When a theft Is reported to his
office, he is enabled through tie
League to spread the alarm, and the
Leagues officers join the sheriff In
a hunt for the thief. The result hes
been that more Of such thieves have
been brought to justice and are now
serving time for their misdteds II
the state prison at lansing than dur
ing the term Of any other county at
torney.
Mr.. Little is native born Kansan
Is a lawyer of ability, and II elected

Of Kansas. His splendid record a

spoke in Montgomery county. He
filled speaking dates Wednesday In

he spoke at Baxter Springs and
Thuneay night at Galena. Fpida1
ne spoke at Cherokee in Crawford
county. and Saturday night In Fort
Scott in Bourbon county.
Judge Thompson has been greeted
with great crowds on his tour and
has aroused a great deal Of snthu>.
siasm in the counties wished. He has
worked In the Third District this
week and expects to continue his
speaking tour, making ss many couh-
ties as possible in the, limited time
left.
Judge Thompson'e services as q.
speaker are in great demand. So
many requests have come into bead.
quarters for him that 1t will be utter

asked for. The speakers buresn b
having trouble arranging speaking
dates so as to accommodate the great,

this country could get gold from En-.

stock Of gold at this time is approx
mately oDe-fHth that OF the United
States. This country's stock Of goi0

ties that go to make up the burden
Of the cost of living. We will go be-
fore the people of our state with
these declarations and ask support.
The Republican party is now unalter-
ably committed to a high protective
tariff and there are cheeness pros
poets of relief from that source.
M our party had nothing to offer
the intelligent electors of our state
excepting this factional Republican
discomfort, then we, as a party,
would be a distressing disappoiut-
ment. We would be unworthy the
name Of Democrats and should net
be entrusted with the administration
of state affairs.'

one of them Mr.. Stubs, candidate
for United States Senator, the other
Mr.. Capper, a candidate for Cover

der If this is what DOlley had in
mind when he aSid the state govern.
ment of Kansas, practically the only
government in the country that win
permit campaign assessments to be
levied on its employees, is regarded
On oil example by other states? So
far as l know Kansas is the only
state in the UniOn where a janitor
loses his job if he fails to contribute
to a campaign fund.
If the state is overpayihg its EN-.
plOyes so they can afford to contri-
butte to the Capper-Stubbs fund. 1t
Is public money they are using for
campaign purposes; if the employees
earn the money they get it is a kind
OF free-bOoting to COMPEL them
against their win to contribute none
that they cannot afford to pay.
The states monthly pay roll is
$4,000. If Mr.. Dolley's assessment
is paid the employees of the state will
contribute more than $4,000 to the
Capper-Stubbs campaign fund. I
should say that is an example for

job, l wish to call to the attention q
Mr.. Dolly, Mr.. Capper, his candidate
for Governor. Mr.. Capper, in his
platform, says he is opposed to tht
see. On July 81, 1910, in an editor
ial in the Capital, Mr.. Capper dis
cussed the inheritance tax law as fl
lows:
1t is not a high or bu1dcu-
some tax, but 1t hes paid all the
expenses to date Of the State
Tax Commission. The princip.e
is approved as sound byIsll econ
omists and is coming to be &C
ceIted by statesmen. Coming
into an inheritance, particularly
as a collateral heir, is like find
ing money. The state makes the
transfer Of the property from the
dead to the living. What II, for
lis services all through the accu-
muIating Of the property and
transferring 1t securely to a new
possessor who had no hand In the
making, the state exacts a small
tribute for Its own needs? Every
whene the inheritance tax has
come to be regarded as sound
and beneicdent and just and no
Wagstaff Mysteries regarding "wi.
dows and orphans" win ever put
the hands Of the clock backward
on this line Of progressive legis-
ation. Incidentally, the
governor (Stubbs) had nothing to
do with this law except to sign
1t when 1t had passed. The Cap.
ital, however, had something to
DO with urging the bill through,
and was one Of its ardent cham.
pions, and We are proud to de-
fand it,
Now, | wish Mr.. Dolly would tie
US Just when it was that Capper wa
on the lob. Was it when he wrot
MS platform, or was It when b
wrote this editorial?"
