Bert Walker. . Republican editor
and political leader In the Sixth dis
trict. and also = Hodges appointeo,
has published few of the inner ~
crets Of the harmony movement In
Kansas and laid hare the hopes and
ambitions OF the men behind the get
together game in this state. Walker
declares that tho harmony program
was predicated upon the hope OF COM
trolling the lower house and deadlock
ing the 1915 Legislature Capper was
hypnotized by the SIREN song OF the
harmony promoters He was induced
TO run for governor that his 81 vafie-
tics of publications might make ex-
cuses for the long HIST OF old limo He-
publicAns who were formerly often
sive to Capper. but who this year de-
sire to go to congress They must of
necessity be. supported by Capper in
this campaign. ~
walkers blistering sarraignment OF
Bristow and Copper n one Of the most
severe jolts which the harmony cause
has received In Kansas. It II the first
real shot from the regular Republi-
cans who have stood quietly by and
lead the Pr0greagtpos back to- tho
party under a Bristow-Capper-Mo
gan combination that promised to as
say 80 per cent progressive, but
when analysed showed that it1 lead
ers were bound and gaGged. Walkers
editorial gets right down to the ham
and eggs of the situation 1t urges
that the harmony program as out
lined by the men who want jobs and
political control offers no real relief
and that Capper, even II elected.
would be bound boy ut the huskine.
There are no progressive Repub-
licans to speak of in the Republican
party. says Walker. THE Progress
sives have left 1t. Bristow will find
that he will get exactly what Craw-
ford got in. South Dakota Al. for
Capper, the only reason he doe6n't
get at the primary exactly what Bris-
tow Is getting, is that the stand-pat
f1xers are holding off the slaughter Of
Capper until November. 10 that hav-
ing him on the ticket. they can count
on the Capitals support Of q stand
pat delegation for congress. for state
offices and for the legislature.
