Gov. Stubs Says President Taft's
Statement Is Inaccurate.

TOPEKA, Kan, October 2S-Gov.
Stubs today made the following state
ment in reply to President Taft's asser-
ton that the republicans of Kansas are
disfranchised:
President Taft is entirely mistaken in
his statement that the republicans in
Kansas are disfranchised. The exact
facts are that after the Taft electors had
been edfeated in statewide legal re-
publican primary by $1,000 in favor of
Roosevelt electors, the Roosevelt men
voluntarily withdrew from the republican
column and the republican state central
committee has placed the Taft electors
on the republican ticket under the name
OF Taft and Sherman. The Roosevelt
electors in Kansas will appear in an in
dependent column under the name Of
Roosevelt and Johnson
The voluntary withdrawal of the
Roosevelt electors from the republican
column was after the Taft attorneys had
failed to get them removed in two suits
In the supreme court of the state, one
in a district court of the state and three
suits in the federal court OF the United
States.
President Taft evidently has failed to
keep up with the political situation in
Kansas during the present campaign"
