senator or Capper for governor. These
men as candidates cannot demand al
legiance and support unless they them
selves concede and render it. They
are opposing the National Republican
ticket and advocating the election of
the candidate of third party for
only that, but before the primary cleo
ton they organized and helped con-
summate the fraud OF running Roose-
Welt men as candidates for presidential
electors on the Republican ticket, then
later voted in the party council to con-
tinue and emphasize the effect of that
deception and injustice by printing
the names of those Third party cleo
tors on the Republican ballot under
the good Republican eagle and the
names of Taft and Sherman, thus
excluding electors who would vote for
Taft and Sherman and depriVing
thousands of Kansas Republicans of
the opportunity and right to vote for
the National ticket of their choice.
This is the rankest political fraud
ever undertaken in Kansas or the
country: and while it may be done un-
der the primary statute of this state
and no court can prevent, that does
not justify nor mitigate, morally, the
dishonesty and infamy of doing it,
From the standpoint of political in
tegrity and individual honor neither
Stubs nor Capper should first have
been willing to get upon nor after
ward remain as candidates on the
ticket of a party whose platform
they do not endorse and whose fore
most nominees they are opposing.
''Messrs. Stubs and Capper should
first do justice. They have no right
to expect to receive that which they
refuse to give"
stockton Review.
This office is in receipt of Iitera-
ture from Chairman DolIey in which
the chairman is appealing frantically
to the Republicans to stand by Stubs.
Why don't Dolley make an appeal to
them to support Taft. We are unable
to find from the literature that Dol
ley is making any effort whatever
for Taft While claiming to be a
Republican and claiming to represent
the Republican party, Mr.. Dolleys eff
forts seem to be all aimed toward the
assistance of a Bull Moose named
Stubs. Whenever ills office can re-
ceive literature from the state chair
man that is favorable to the election
of the Republican ticket. we are ready |
to place it before our readers but the
Review is not dedicated to the cause
OF the Bull Moose. No, not yet
