OF Kansas without regard to part,
Affiliations, to support Arthur Capper
the Republican nominee for Governor
We make this appeal in the firm be
lief that the people of Kansas are
broad-minded and patriotic and are
truly DESTROYS of securing the mos
efficient and the most economical ad
ministration OF public affairs.
Arthur Capper has never held pub
lie office and has no entangling ALLAN
ces with party cliques or factions. He
has no political debts to pay; he ID
under obligations to no special inter.
ests, no factions, no boss, but will
take the office with clean hands and
a clear conscience, free to serve the
best interests of the whole state with.
out favoritism and without prejudice.
He is a native Kansan who has
shown his ability to handle large af.
fairs, by developing and owning at
the age OF AZ, one OF the largest pub
fishing houses In the entire country,
giving regular employment to more
than 500 people.
He looks upon the Governor OF the
state as the Business Manager of the
states AFFAIRS, and he can be depend.
ed upon to bring to the states service
the same ability, the same efficiency,
the same methods of economy, the
same principles of square dealing and
Justice, the same rugged honesty,
which has made his own business so
successful.
AS an editor and publisher he has
always stood for the rights of the peo-
Pile and has opposed the injustices
which arise from Special Privileges.
AS Governor he will make aggressive
war upon all forms of inefficiency,
graft and political corruption, whether
found within his own party or outside
of 1t.
He stands committed to the lowest
taxes consistent with efficient public
service in a growing state for the
elimination Of graft in all its forms;
for keeping out the hangers-on, the
jobbers and the political leeches who
feed from the public treasury; for
abolishing the Degrading system in
all county and state Offices; for the
of all useless officials, /
clerks and commissions; for the re-
duction of excessive salaries and ex-
travagant appropriations; for less
and more justice in the
courts; for legislative acts free from
loop-holes and jokers; for an inherit.
ance tax exemption Of not less than
$4,000; for the printing Of school.
books by the state and distribution
1t cost; for strict and impartial en-.
'orcement Of all laws-in short for a
clean and straight policy in handling
he business of the state so as to
effect the greatest good to the great
,st number.
Arthur Cappef dnes not pose as
statesman and he will not use the of. ]
Ice as Governor as a stepping stone
o another Office. He will not attempt
