ARTHUR CAPPER FOR UNITED
STATES SENATOR

My name is third under the head
For United States Senator" on the
Republican ballot in Trego County
Please bear this in mind when you go
county. 1t is important that you vote
to the polls to vote, if you vote in this
at the primary August 9Th. ask
every one of my friends in the towns
and on the farms to go to the polls

Here are some of the first and fore
most things in my opinion that p
senator from Kansas should do his
utmost to bring about
The vigorous and determined pros
ecution of the war, without compro-
mise, until complete victory for
world freedom and lasting peace is
absolutely assured.

THE END OF A CAMPAIGN

Henry j. Allen will be nominated
for governor next Tuesday. That he
will get more votes in the primary
than his three competitors combined
is the belief of the best judges of
public sentiment in Kansas at this
time.
I Looking backward it is amusing to
note how all the prophecies of those
opposed to Allen have failed.s When
predicted that he would be home be-
fore the primary campaign ended and
that his war work was only for pol
itical effect. 1t was early evident that
this would not happen and then his
enemies begun to say that he was so
valuable in France that he should be
left there and some one else chosen
for governor of Kansas. It is impos-
sible to beat a man by endorsing him
and this "stall" did not get anywhere
And so it went
d When Mr.. Allen completed his work
for the Red Cross the Y. M C. A.,
which had asked for his services last
he went to it's aid and is helping that
great organization in it's field work
among the. American soldiers in the
trenches and along the battle line in
France. Now his critics profess to
see some political significance in tn
move.
1t has been impossible for Henry
10 i
please those professional politicians
that are against him and as far as
their power would permit they have
circulated rumors of various colors
all tending to discredit him. This sort
of thing has failed. The complete an
swer is that Henry Allen has been and
is now in France serving his country
without pay-even to the extent of
defraying his own expenses. His
opponents are in Kansas making a
campaign for the nomination for gov
eernor and 'defaming man who is
1000. miles. away and unable to an
swer for himself. There has not been
day IN the last six months that
they could not have taken service in
France similar to that in which he is
engaged-but they have not done So
1t is up to the friends of Henry
Allen to go to the polls next Tuesday
and make the vote so overwhelming
that it will always be a source of
pride to Kansas that it has not been
ungrateful-th it has not listened
to defamers of a man engaged in its
service and who has rested his case
with it's people

No man on earth can say a word
against Henry. j. Allen as man and
citizen. He went to France last jan
uary to work for the Red Cross be-
cause he thought it was his duty to
do SO, and his friends thought and
still think that he was and is the one
best man in the whole state for that
kind of work. Undoubtedly they are
right about it, because, as they say,
''he knows the soldiers and their
needs Now, some of his friends, and
others are bosting him for governor.
If nominated and elected it will be
because of Red Cross and 'sY' senti-
ment. If it was his duty to go to
France last January it will be his duty
to stay there next January. If elected
he cannot serve as governor without
deserving the post to which duty and
the call of humanity sent him. If he
deserts that post it will cast the
smear of sordid politics" over all his
efforts of the past year. His friends
are putting him in a false position.
If he remains at the post of duty who
will be governor? There is something
about his candidacy which his friends
and others, have not explained to the
public. Allen is the one best man for
the job in France, On the other hand,
there is no lack of equally capable and
equally deserving candidates for gov
ernor. For the sake of the soldier
boys let us leave Allen on the job
where he is.

scale in a business you must have

are not in the same class with other

were punished
By not going on the witness stand
and perjuring himself regarding his
Illegal whiskey operations, Falkner
was advised by the court that he had
saved himself 5000, for had he gone
on the stand his fine would have
been 5000 more

convicted by jury of violating the
liquor laws of Washington and also
the federal regulations against ship

Unless many more prisoners are
sentenced by the Kent county, Mich,

terms upon the Kent county work
farm in the near future, this institu-
ton viii have to be abandoned, says
the Grand Rapids Free Press of July
This was the gist OF the UNDER
standing reached by the finance COM

pose of discussing ways and means OF
conducting the farm. For many
weeks they have held meetings con-
sidering the labor shortage which ~oi-
lowed the dry regime.

tering q plan whereby 1t will advocate
the abolition of many Jatls in western
Michigan counties into contracts to
house prisoners at the Kent county
farm Chairman George Welsh, Of
the work farm commission, believes
that the Kent county Jail is an unnec-

that the work farm. since it is a pro-
ducing institution. could be better
Used than the jail.
The city workhouse. it 10 pointed
out, could take care of all men who
are awaiting trial in the court The

sition The nembe stated that 1t
would NOT be wise to start a. penal in

counties.
The supervisors at the last session
voted to expend 81 500 for improve
meuts upon the work farm, but the

situation stands this would be folly.
Before the state went dry there were
always twenty FIVE men at work upon
the farm Since May l this number
has steadily decreased and when the
