of the gangs of bank robbers and he
enumerated every one of them.
-. N. Dolley and his blue sky law
have attracted attention all over the
country" Stubs declared. "Dolley has
received more space in the big financial
papers and gaines of this country
than all of the other bank commission
ers in the United States combined"
Stubs then told CT the work of War
den Codding and the rise of the penal
institutions from filth and microbe
habitations to places that conform
with the provisions of the pure food
law. He declared that Codding has
put his best efforts into the work at
Lansing and that his removal by the
election Of Hodges would be a real
calamity. After telling of CoauIng'"
work, Stubs devoted his attention to
the state educational institutions, to
the board of control and all depart
ments of the state; which he declared
were the best in the history of KAN
sas. Then Stubs turned suddenly Oh
the Republican League
The Men Who Are Fighting Him.
WHO are these fellows who are car
ryirla on this Republican League in To-
1,eka and in Kansas asked Stubbs-
TN tell you. They are the fellows
who two years ago were wearing
Hodges buttons. They are the felloT
who have been fighting mad ever since
the passage of the anh-pass law ana
their elimination from bossism in kan
sas. Two years ago and four years ago
these fellows We're voting agalnsF
Stubbs. They were fighting Stubs
when I was voting the Republican tick
ct. Now they tell you that the way
to save the Republican ticket in Kan
sas is to vote for the Democrats. L
don't believe it. Either these 1elioWs
are not sincere of there is something
the matter with their reasoning.
Will Support Roosevelt.
In his speech Stubs declared that
he would support Roosevelt for presi-
dent.
II have no fault to find with the
honest Taft man who believes tnat
Taft was honestly and fairly nonl-
mated. 1 don't think he was and
don't believe he ought to be elected.
If YOU are satisfied with Taft, though
go ahead and vote for him, but 1 be-
iieve in the principles which Theodore
Roosevelt advocates and 1 believe that
the man who today lies with an as
sassin's bullet in his breast is the man
to put those principles in operation.
After Stubs speech, United States
Senator J. L. Bristow pleaded for the
election of Arthur Capper as governor
and for loyalty to the entire Repuo-
lican- state ticket.
THE tariff isn't an issue In TINS
though the Democratic presidential
nominee insists that it is
BristOw ON National Issues.
Bristow pleaded the policy of govern
poent control and urged that the gov
eminent had as much right to control
and to regulate the Standard Oil COM
Dany as it had to regulate a national
hank. Much of Bristow's speech was
devoted to national issues and his dis
cussion of these questions was the
same argument as he has advanced
in a number of speeches in Kansas
under direction of the Republican
state committee. Aside from the ma
tional issues, Bristow's attention was
devoted entirely to a continuation OF
the present policies of the state adj
ministration. This can only be &C
complished by the election of Arthur
Capper and the Republican ticket i'll
Kansas" Bristow told his crowd.
The meeting last night was the first
public meeting in Topeka in the inter
ests of Stubs candidacy for the Uni
