Congress in the Sixth Congressional District of
Kansas, Frankly States His Views on CUES
tons of Interest of the Day
To the Voters Ladies and Gentlemen

ner every quarter section of our fair
land a hive of intelligent industry.
and home of splendid young woman
| hood and stalwaTt young manhood,
each so essential TO the welfare of anv
country.
take it that it is needless, for me
to say that | regard the matter of
good roads of the most vital import
ance to the farmers and all other
citizens of this district, state and ma
tion. Every market center in Kansas
should be connected with its trade ter
ritory by serviceable and durable high
ways over which the traffic of social
and business intercourse could pass
with ease and facility, thus aiding
rapidly in the advancement of the
wealth. culture and refinement of the
entire nation. A practical form of
national aid must be prom ulgateo and
carried into Immediate effect. Why
build panama canals and present them
to England at her behest at the cost
of hundred of millions of dollars out
of the com mon treasury of our coun-
try, and deny in any form all aid to
our common highways the channels of
common intercourse between the
citizens whose labor and industry
create that very fund.
l have heretofore publicly stated
that am in favor of national woman
suffrage and national prohibition, and
given reasons why both have been
found to be so essential and so potent
in placing Kansas in the front rank of
intellectual states.
When the present de naocratic ad-
ministration took charge of every
branch of our government We were on
the pinnacle of prosperity That

Were it not for our war orders
Shame be it said) this country would
be PROSTATE in failure, our industries
and our markets gasping for life, and
all brought about by the now recog-
niZed, absolute Incompetence of this
democratic administration.
Its diplomacy is the laughing stock
of the world. Its vacillating policies
toward every nation of importance
and power has robbed US of the friend
ship of the world, and deprived us of
our former high standing among the
nations of the earth.
It is the duty Of all good citizens
to assist in restoring the republicans
to power, and it is the duty of every
republican 10 see that the party merits
their support, and measures up to its
opportunities and its destinies

decency and in honesty and if the
party honors me with the nomination,
/ will give it, and the people of my
state, the best that is within my
ir cl,o n 1T h

his or her behalf will be as unselfisIlv
given, and / hope. with you, for an
early return to republican prosperity.
Sincerely yours,
