GOVERNOR CAPPER's APPEAL
Urges Election Of Henry Allen, Phil
Campbell and the Entire Re-
publican Ticket

Governor Arthur Capper has issued
an appeal to the voters of Kansas to
support the entire Republican ticket,
including the Republican candidate in
this district. In a personal statement
the Governor says:
II am grateful to the Republicans
Of Kansas for the fine endorsement
given me at the August primary.
will have very little time for q pOliti-
cal campaign and l therefore appealN
to my friends to give me all the as
sistance possible at the election on
November 5. ask their support not
only for my own candidacy but for the
entire Republican State and Congress
sional ticket. / am proud-and with
reason-to be the nominee Of my
party for Senator, for it is gratifying
TO have associated with me on the
ticket such candidates as the Republic
cans of Kansas may present without q
single misgiving to the voters for
their endorsement.
"The state ticket is headed by Hen
ry ]. Allen, candidate for Governor,
and the Congressional ticket as well,
is made up of Republicans who re-
present first-class ability. These men
are high-grade, dependable men.
There is no reason why any Republic
can cannot give every one of them en-
thusiastic support.
tissues of tremendous Importance
make our Congressional election this
fall most vital. There has never been
time when it was so necessary to
send broad and brainy men to Con-
gress to solve the problems constantly
arising in the war and still CREATED
problems which will have to be met
with the highest intelligence Of which
we are capable, during the reconstruc-
ton period following. The situation
demands men of the most stalwart
Americanism and staunchest devotion.
II congratulate the people Of the
Third district upon the fact that in
their present representative In Con-
gress, Hon. Phil P. Campbell, they
have such man. No district has ever
had a more able, more loyal or q
more faithful representative than Phil
Campbell. He knows his district thor
oughly and his long experience at
Washington has made him most val
liable member Of Congress. It Is es-
pecially important, it seems to me,
that in the momentous problems which
will face the next Congress, the dis
trict, the state and the nation should
have the benefit of the fine ability and
wide experience Of Mr.. Campbell. ]
am sure he will be reelected by
greatly increased majority as the re-
preventative of the Third district at
Washington. If 60 to Washington !
want Phil Campbell and seven other
Republican Congressman to go with
me from Kansas.
'T need not warn you Of the repre-
hensible campaign the DemOcratid
managers are making. While spread
ing broadcast the propaganda that
politics is adjourned during the war,
they are at the same time attempting
to capitalize the war for partisan gain
by using every specious argument
known to scheming politicians. To
win support for their Congressional
candidates they are leaving nothing
undone to discredit the patriotism and
loyalty of the Republican candidates..
am sure the fathers and mothers OF
the boys who are fighting in France
will resent this unfeeling and Outra-
gious attempt to use the life's blood Of
their sons as n political pawn. ! be-
lieve a proper and emphatic rebulre
will be administered 10 this attempt
to make the supporting Of Democratic
candidates the test Of loyalty.
"Both in State and NatiOn the Re
publican party has stood and Is stand
ing four-square for the war and no
compromise. Every one Of It's caDdi-
dates is pledged to that platform. The
war record of the party and Its eandi-
dates will hear the closest scrutiny.
The records Of Congress show the Re-
publicans have stood by the President
more loyalty than his own party"
