Candidates on Republican Tick
ct Who Are PrOgressives.
j. s. Dean of Taft Executive
Committee Brands Them.
BETRAYERS OF THEIR PARTY
Dean, Like White, Prepares a
Special List.
But This Time List Is Marked
for Slaughter by Taft Men.

Thirteen men, candidates for Office
on the Republican ticket, are branded
as the betrayers of the party by j. S.
Dean, of the executive committee of
the Republican Party League of Kan
sas, Who urges Kansas Republicans to
bear in mind the names when the
voters go to the polls in November. In
what he calls the roll of infamy,''
Dean marks the path for the boiling
OF every candidate for state office, for
congress and for the legislature who
voted against the Stone resolution in
the party council
This is the manner in which Desn
views the actions of the 1S men who
led the fight TO disfranchise the Taft
Republicans in Kansas:
The Topeka Daily Capital reports
Mr.. Roosevelt as follows:
He is willing to abandon the
Progressive state ticket, he told the
Minnesota leaders, only if it is possible
to take. over the Republican organiza-
ton bodily
He is not running any separate
state ticket in Kansas. The inference
is clear and unmistakable. He would
be running a separate state ticket in
Kansas today except for he fact that
he considers that he has captured the
Republican organization bodily On
Tuesday, 9th of August, the Repub-
lican state central committee and the
Republican party council held their
separate meetings in Topeka. The
state committee voted-4O to 37-to
have the Roosevelt electors withdrawn
from the Republican ticket and placed
in the Independent column. This ac-
ton taken at T1Patincr held in
the forenoon. A resolution to the
same effect was introduced in the
party council It's consideration was
postponed from morning until after
noon, and from afternoon until even
ing at which time it was defeated by
a vote of 70 to 62. 1t is an open Sc
cret that after the resolution had been
adopted by the state central Commit
tee, Mr.. White. the national commit
teeman of the Bull Moose party tor
Kansas, and Mr.. Fred Tr.gg, repre-
senting Mr.. Nelson, the editor of the
Kansas City Star and national COM
mitteeman of the Bull Moose party for
Missouri. told Stubs. Capper and 9TH
er Republican nominees that if this
resolution passed the Republican
party council a straight Bull Moose
state and congressional ticket would
be put in the field in Kansas. That
threat did the business

Betrayed Their Party.
law members of the Republican party
council voted for the resolution to
withdraw the Roosevelt electors from
the Republican column. the vote would
have stood 70 for, and Sc against. The
integrity of the Republican party would
have been preserved and the disfran-
chisement of the Republicans of Kan
sas would not have been accomplished.
The Republicans of Kansas by their
votes intrusted these men with the
leadership of the party in this state
Confidently they placed the unstained
party standards in their hands. In
stead of bearing these honored ban
ners in front of the Republican hosts
to victory, they folded them up, car
ried them over like towards and de
iivered them to the enemy. The above
list constitutes the black roll of the
unfaithful ones. Let every Republi-
can preserve this list. It will be need

be trayed the trust. 1t is the browning
act of a long line of disloya1 conduct
upon the part of some of these men.
1t has stirred the indignation of every
loyal Republican in the state, so that

ground they can hear the roar of an
angry host of Republicans, swelling I'D
