Senator Arthur Capper praised the
Harding administration and the new
! tariff bill in thirty-minute talk. He
was given a big reception by the
: women.
A new prosperity is on its way, Sen
ator Capper asserted, in commenting
on passage of the tariff act. He as
serted the enactment was the most
favorable to the farmer and stock
man of any tariff measure ever passed
in this country.
Only Nation to Reduce.
'I wish the people of this country
could fully know what has been ac-
complished by this administration"
said Senator Capper. 1.-THE most i'm
possible tasks ever unloaded on the
shoulders of an administration were
placed on President Harding's shoul-
der. In q year, tho, we have Topped
off $4,000 employees in Washington
alone. We now collect in taxes less
than one-third the per capita tax in
Great Britain. We are the only nation
in the world which has reduced ex-
penses and the national debt.
after the seemingly into1erable
delay of twenty-five months we have
passed the new tariff bill. Delays were
due to ancient rules permitting dila-
tory tactics.
. II believe that the new tariff law
will bear out the record of all former
tariff legislation and will mark the
reopening of Industrial activity and
expansion of business both in manu-
facture and farming. 1 believe the
new tariff act will accomplish more
good for this country than any piece
of legislation by this congress. 1t is
congress with ample protection for the
: farmer and stockman.'
Wilbur c. Hawk, state chairman,

present campaign.
Platform for Women.
Political parties that seek the sup
port of the women of Kansas should
have some reason for asking this ia
vor," Hawk said. I'm this respect the
Republican party is in position to say
that any woman who considers the
matter from the standpoint of things
which make better citizens and better
homes. will find it difficult to resist
its claims upon her influence and vote.
There is a striking contrast be-
tween the Republican and the Demo-
crat platforms so far as the things
which are vital to women are con-
cerned. The Democrats failed to de-
clare for a single thing in which
women are vitality Interested while the
1Pledges upon number of subjects
which have the almost unanimous
support of women regardless of po-
litical party"
The women workers today formally
ratified the Republican state platform.
They also reasserted their demand for
equal representation on county and
state committees. They will ask the
legislature for an enactment providing
for election of women precinct COM
