STANLEY'S POSITION.
Kansas National Committeeman VIII
Work for Reforms.

Fred e. Stanley of Wichita, Repub-
lfcan national committeeman from
Kansas. declared last night that he
will work for q radical reform in the
that body meets in special session In
Washington December II. This pub
lie statement by Stanley Is In keeping
with pledges which he had made to
In fact Stanley has at all times in
sisted that change in the rules of the
national committee were necessary
for Republican harmony and he will
work and vote for more equitable
distribution of delegates to the ma
tional convention when he attends the
meeting Of the committee. 5'-+7@- -,
In his statement regarding re-
vision of the existing rules Of the COM
mittee, Stanley said:
81 have talked with a great many
Republicans within the last few weeks
with reference to the action OF the
national committee at its meeting in
December. There seems to be a gen.
eral unanimous opinion among all
factions Of the party that the commit
tee should take decisive action in
making an equitable redistribution of
delegates in Republican conventions,
ana great satisfaction is expressed
among Kansas Republicans that the
committee meeting has been called.
II take it that the calling OF the
committee is, in itself, an expression
of good faith on its part, and that 1t
is in sympathy with the general de-
mand for more progressive rule in the
government of convention.
''I am personally much pleased that
the meeting is to be held and sincere
ly believe that there will be practical
harmony in the committee on needed
changes I shah urge. on behalf of
the Republicans OF Kansas. such
changes as shall be really progressive
and beneficial to the real Republican
vote Of the country.
THE questions which will be
brought before the committee should
be carefully considered. SO that new
methods may not develop greater evils
than those which have developed in
the past. But the committee should
recognize the existence Of the present
evils and honestly adopt such reforms
as will meet the present demand. To
real reform for present errors, I
pledged support to the Republicans
of Kansas"
