first important political announcement
of the next campaign. Major Harvey
stayed with the regulars of the Re
publican party last campaign and next
year he will make his fight for the
senatorship as a Republican. But
while a regular in politics the major
is well known as a progressive in
ideas. a philanthropist and a philoso-
pher on humanitarian issues. He was
a leader in the campaign last year and
for many years has been we'll known
figure in state politics. His ability as
a lawyer and public speaker is also
well known and recognized. His
speech in the Republican state con-
vention at Independence last year in
the face of overwhelming odds was a
notable feature of the campaign.
His announcement is clear cut and
without apology or preface. 1t is an
appeal well calculated to reunite the
Republican party on broad, safe lines
no matter who wins it's nominations.
His announcement is important be-
cause it is the first plain declaration
for high office and also because it
means that the Regular Republicans
will be sure to have a candidate and
that the Bull MooSers will either have
to get back in the fold or name Bris-
tow on a separate ticket. AS to wheth-
er Charles Curtis, who was defeated
for the nomination last year, will run
again as regular is not known at
this time. If he decides to enter the
race he will have to contend with
Major Harvey for the nomination.

Position of Republican Party.
In a small community it may be pos
sible for political parties to dissolve
after each campaign and form new
alignmentS for every election, but in
a great and extensive country like ours
it must be that political parties are
regular institutions of the country,
extending from election to election and
from generation to generation. binding
and measuring the fidelity of men to
a degree second only to that of the
country. This makes it necessary for
a political party to have within itself
all of the elements of growth and pub
lie welfare necessary to the life of the
state, and just at this time it would
seem that the Republican party is the
only party which is conservative
advantages and good things that our
civiliza ton has brought to us, and at
the same time progressive enough to
press forward to the new questions
and new situations with faith, hope
and courage.

the past. the largest possible partici-
patton of our citizens in elections.
The recent special election held in
the state of Ohio upon constitutional
amendments, as we'll as elections for
enactmentS of laws held in Oregon
and other places, demonstrate the
wisdom of our representative system
OF law-making and the futility of try
ing to make statute laws by submit

port any plan that will make it pos

submitted directly to the people in
times of emeI gency and whenever
there is reasOnab BILE ground to believe
that representative are unfaithfuI as
lawmakers. The history of general
statutes in the United States, as well
as in the states, especially in Kan
sas, shows with few exceptions that
every general statute has been better
for the people than the one preceding

fact that legiSla tive bodies usually
take hold of statutes offered to meet
new situations just about as rapidly
as the people are ready for such stat

My greatest anxiety will be to en-
cour1E such general interest in pub
uc1pation in all of our elections by
all of our citizens of both sexes and
OF all races and conditions.
In matters of progress, I shall urge
that the Republican party stand for
everything that would be for the bet
terment of humanity and bring US
nearer to the American ideal of equal
lty among men. l will work with
any man or set of men or party of
men who earnestly strive for better
conditions and larger opportunity

party was born in a struggle for hu-
mainly against greed and oppression,
