Kelly started up from the table.
Wolf shifted the gun on to Kelly,

AT that moment the three men
emerged from the swinging doors,
dragging a scared. pasty faced youth

OTTAWA. Kans.. September 2T.--A
prediction that Western Republicans
would make mo surrender" ut the
party's national convention in 1882 Ito
the demands of the great wet cities of
New York and other Eastern States"
was made today by Senator Arthur
Capper of Kansas.
THE Republican party in 1923 stood
for enforcement, not repeal, Of the
eighteenth amendment" said Senator
Capper in addressing political rally
here.
And in 1882 the West, which will
control the national convention, will
stand where it stood in 1928"
Senator Capper said that while New
York Republicans, who have adopted
wet plank, therefore, seems to be in 3
favor OF outlawing the liquor traffic by
putting the States into the liquor BUSH
ness, they do not represent the senti-g
ment on this question of the Republican
party throughout the West, which today
has come to be the dominant end of
the party"
For the first time the Republican
West has given the Nation both
President and Vice President. The
West is the dominant power in both
houses of Congress and holds the key
position in both House and Senate.
The West has given the trend In
the last dozen years to Republican
policies, platforms and legislative pro-
grams. And the West, r.hich gave the
Nation national prohibition, still stands
for the eighteenth amendment and for.
its enforcement, not repeal. or any such
compromises as making the public or
the Government the saloonkeeper. Such
compromise will not work
in Kansas we stand with the
President and Vice President and the
record Of Congress for enforcement, and.
not for repeal. nor yet for compromises
on the eighteenth amendment" !.
