HE is STANDING PAT
Joe Bristow for U. S. Senator on Same
Grounds He Took Ten Months Ago.

Joseph L. Bristow of Salina will
make his fight for the Republican
nomination for United States senator
on the same grounds which he took
ten months ago. In spite of the fact
that Kansas sentiment toward the war
has changed greatly in the last year.
Bristow will not alter his stand to
meet the changed sentiment. His
campaign plan is clearly outlined in a
new pamphlet which has just come
from the Bristow headquarters.
Every expression of Bristow con-
corning the war and the profiteeIs and
the loot of the national treasury has
been incorporated in the new booklet.
Beginning with his famous editorial of
ten months ago, BriStow has repub-
lished his war expressions as printed
in his Salina Daily Journal. 1t was
the editorial published in May, last
year, which brought the greatest crit
icism to the former United States SEN
ator and at that time head of the pub
nc utilities commission. Scores of re-
quests were sent to Governor Capper
urging him to remove Bristow from
state service. But Bristow concluded
his term and resigned last week on his
own motion.
There is little doubt that Bristow
will 90 into the fight this summer in
opposition to the war policies of the
Wilson administration. While he will
urge finish fight now that we are
in il" Bristow's real argument will be
to direct a sentiment that big business
is skimming the cream from the war
game In his booklet Bristow has
published tabulation of comparative
profits of numerous large corpora
lions, both for the five-year period
preceding the war and for the period
of the war.
Bristow's new campaign document
contains forty-eight printed pages. Il
