to collect in any one lifetime.
Two years ago, Brinkley
was kicked out of the medical
profession in Kansas.
The Kansas City Star, a Missouri
newspaper, and the American Meol-
cal Society co-operated in having
Brinkley's license as a physician re-
Yoked.
T. Won "RejuvenatiOn" NotOriety
Doc for years, had operated a
hospital at Milford, and won noto-
riety during the "rejuvenation" fur
ore of a decade ago.
His own personally devised "foun-
tain of youth" was the glands oil
goats instead of the monkey glands
preferred by European experts"
Brinkley's radio station was one
of the pioneer broadcasting plants
of the middle west Brinkley was a
frequent speaker. Each Sunday eve
ming he preached radio sermon:
MANY letters came to the raolo
doctor pleading for advice.
Obliging, Brinkley began dlagnoS-
Inq by radio. To each, he announced
a numbered prescription that Ine
natient should obtain from MS
neighborhood drug store.
Docs remedies could be had IN
virtually every town of the state
ana without a personal consulta-
ton. although in numerous cases, IL
is said. Brinkley urged, VIA the
ether. that the patient come to his
Milford hospital.
Calls Trial "Gethsemane"
His medical trial, held in Topeka,
Doc, in his political speeches, calls
his "Gethsemane."
Along came the federal govern
ment. and took away Brinkley's
right on the air.
He had a broadcasting plant, but
couldn't use it. SO he sold 1t.
He had a hospital, but he couldn't
serve as medical adviser to any OF
his patients. So he put it in charge
of physicians who have sanction OF
authorities.
He ran for Governor of Kansas
on an independent ticket OF his
own.
He got into the race too late to
get his name on the ballot. He
had no machine.
10000 Write Name
Amazed politicians, after the cleo
Hon count, learned that 10000 Kan
sas citizens legally had written in
Brinkley's name on the ballot for
the governorship!
Nobody knows how many thou
sands of ballots for Brinkley were
thrown out as mutilated because of
slight errors in writing his name.
Right then, Briinkley resolved to
90 after his prosecutors" in a big
way in the next election.
Meantime, he built a powerful
radio transmitter, several times as
strong as any operating in the
United States, just across the Rio
Grande in Mexico, and keeps up his
s'radio doctoring."
And with the political revenge bug
working, Doc started early on an in
tensive campaign for this years
election.
While other candidates feverishly
expend strength trying to win their
party nominations at the primaries
early in August, Brinkley stumps on,
without having to go into the prl-
maries. running as an Independent.
But his name will be on the NO
yember ballot this time.
Campaigns in Truck
His huge motor truck, which he
calls his Ammunition Train, No.
l." carries the campaign party that
will visit scores of Kansas counties,
towns and hamlets before the voters
express their decision in November.
Last week, with the temperature
over the 90-degree mark, he spoke
in Topeka at the Kansas free fair
ground.
The crowd of more than 10000
persons who heard him set record
in Kansas politics.
1t was a bigger crowd than ever
had listened here to candidate for
the Kansas governorShip.
1t was a bigger Topeka crowd
than ever had heard any presiden-
tial candidate, who happened to
wander into the wheat and corn belt
during the heat of a campaign.
The crowd that heard AL Smith in
Topeka, four years ago, couldn't be-
gin to match the Brinkley throng.
Sits and Speaks
Brinkley sat-Sat not stood-in
his campaign truck in front of the
brilliantly lighted concrete grand
stand. He spoke into a microphone.
There were no platform GYM
nastics, no spellbinding.
Loudspeakers on top of the truck
picked up his words, and distributed
them distinctly to every ear in the
vast crowd
Brinkley has perfect reproducing
voice, treated in this manner.
It's the same voice that for years
has been entering the homes of the
state through the radio, and the
same voice that has won him the
