THE MEN WHO SUCCEED

as heads of large enterprises are
men of great energy. Success today
demands health. To all is to fail.

right ON his feet in short order. "Fou

schools are, as usual, awake to the
situation and are pushing the work

the county superintendent is starting

winners from each school district in

are arranging for contests in corn

Governor Stubs and United States
Senator J. L. Bristow will speak at The

organization is to work for the eiec-
ton of Stubs to the United States
senate and to counteract the sentiment
against the Kansas executive which
has been created by the Republican
League in the state. Several other
organizations similar to the Stubs
club in Shawnee county have been
formed in other counties in the state.
Tonights meeting will begin at

o'clock Preceding the speaking there
will be a short pipe organ recital.
The mere fact that the Kansas City
Star and Times have bOlted Arthur
Capper and are supporting George H.
Hodges for governor in Kansas, fails
to change the opinion of members of
the Republican League as to Capper's
political affiliations. They point to
the voters the effort to turn Demo-
cratic voters to Stubs and that the
Kansas City paper is willing to sac
rifice one of the two Bull Moosers in
a vain hope of saving one.
In a statement today J. S. Dean, as
president of the Republican League,
declared that all members of the or
ganization will have a working idea
Of the Star-Times plan and will deny
Capper their support. Dean said:
The desertion of Capper by the
Kansas City Star and the Kansas City
Times. is easy to understand. Rep
resentatives of these Bull Moose organs
have been scouting through Kansas for
the past few weeks for the purpose OF
learning the sentiment of the voters
of Kansas. They discovered that the
Bull Moosers-Stubbs, Capper, ct al
masquerading as Republicans have
been discovered. exposed and repudia-
ted by the real Republicans of the
state, and. that overwhelming defeat
D.
discovered moreover, that no amount
of Misrepresentation, or cajolery, could
induce the Republican voters to sup
port any of these party traitors at the
polls. In desperation these Bull
Moose newspapers have volunteered
their support to a Democrat, hoping
thereby to secure Democratic support
for that Benedict Arnold of the Re
publican party in this state-W. +.
Stubs.
THE move will not deceive anyone.
1t is simply the case of two Bull
Moosers in a sinking boat-one is
thrown overheard in the forlorn hope
Of saving the other. The incident,
however, brings out some highly ilIum-
mating statements from Capper and
White. Mr.. White Dull Moose man
ager for Kansas) in his guileless So
for governor hastens to assure the
Times and the Star that Capper is
true blue Progressive Dull Moose
and is supporting Roosevelt and glory
ing in it. Mr.. Whites article is
published on the front page of Mr.
Capper's paper which, of course, is a
confirmation by him of Whites state |
ments.
Mr.. Capper himself comes out in a
personal statement declaring that few
men in Kansas have taken a deeper |
or more active interest in the Progress |
SlNe polClcdl movement imam nave
Of course, everybody knows that the |
Progressive political movement is d |
deceptive phase used by the third |
termers to describe the revolutionary |
and anarchistic hodge podge of po- |
litical heresies embraced in the Bull |
Moose platform adopted by the So |
called Progressive party at Chicago. |
Republicans will rejoice that Capper |
