Indeed, Kansas and Kansans Feel Highly Honored, Miss Eav Marshall Shontz Has Paid us a Visit State House VOLUME XVIII. Indeed, Kai THEY HONOR OLD JO THEY HONOR OLD JOHN BROWN The Negroes of Kansas Pay Homage to the Hero of Harper's Ferry---Miss Eva Marshall Shontz Journeys all the Way from New York to Unveil Monument and Delivers a Speech That Will Never Fade from the Memory'of Her Hearers. Charlestown, Jefferson Co., Va. 29th Nov., 1859. Mrs. George L. Stevens. Boston, Mass. Mrs. F. F. Smith. No letter I have received since my imprisonment here, has given me more satisfaction or comfort, than yours of the 8th inch. I am quite cheerful and was never more happy. Have only time write you a word. May God forever reward you and all yours. My love to all who love their neighbors. I have asked to be spared from having much, or hypocritical prayers made over me, when I am publicly mourned, and that my only religious attendants be poor little, shiny, rugged, barbed, and I have not, slave boys and girls, but some old gray haired I gave mother. Ewell, Pitwell. Your friend. John Brown Wait, the list is: John Brown Wait, the list is: John Brown Wait, the list is: John Brown Wait, the list is: John Brown Though Bishop Grant be dead, his spirit was hovered around Western University last week at the closing exercises, which was the greatest event in the history of the institution—the unveiling of John Brown's monument. Over three thousand souls of both races witnessed the ceremony and gave strict attention to the most eloquent speeches ever delivered on the grounds of Western University. The applause was tremendous and enthusiastic from start to finish and everybody learned something. They felt the spirit of Old John Brown and the late Bishop Grant, originator of the movement to erect the monument. At the conclusion, both white and black were drunk with enthusiasm and clasped each other by the hand and said, "let's dwell in love and union." No one said more to bring about such a feeling than Mies Eva Marshall Shoots who journeyed all the way from New York in her brother's private palace coach accompanied by her aged mother to unveil this monument and give expression of her feelings for the uplift of humanity. President Kealing struck the key. THE STATUE OF THE MASTER THE JOHN BROWN MONUMENT TOPEKA PLAINDEALER note when he extended an invitation to Miss Shonz for she is undoubtedly one of the most eloquent, cultured, refined and queenly ladies that in the whole world. Miss Shontz is one who can be called angelic for she knows nothing out righteousness. If one tenth of the white people of America would act and live the tenth the life she is leading we would all be much happier. Her millions does not turn her head or cause her to scoff poor of any race. After her speech and the unveiling of the monument, the people stronged about her automobile, where she and her good old Christian mother shook their hands and assured them that they need not fear anything from them, that they had the utmost respect and kind feeling for the race. The beginning of her speech was the olimax, when she said, "My dear brothers and sisters." She said it with all earnestness and sincerity and her hearers could plainly see that it was from the heart. They saw the difference between the tricky politician and an honest, good sincere woman who is seeking to do good for all without price or favor. In fact Miss Shon' is the kind of white people the colored race revere (rich white folks) The exercise began promptly at 100. After a few selections by the band and the choral club under the direction of Prof. Jackson, President Kealing came forward and opened the exercises, introducing Bishop Parke as master of ceremonies. The Bishop presented the monument to the Board Trustees assuring them that it was a pleasure on behalf of the Fifth Episcopal district of the African Methodist church and the colored people of the West to present such an emblem as a statute of John Brown to the keeping of the Trustees of this great school, and he hoped that it would be the guiding star of the many young men and women who go out into the world from this school to seek fame and fortune. President Kealing in a few well chosen words and chaste language said on behalf of the Board of Trustees: "We accept this marble of alligy which will go down in history, noting this day to be one of long remembrance. We know it will inspire the youth to higher ideals and fire them with a disposition to accomplish greater things." Mr. A. W. Stubbs, nephew of the Governor said the chief TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 16, 1911 Mary Ann MISS EVA MARSHALL SHONTZ AND MOTHER executive was indisposed, but that his good wife was present. Mrs. Stubbs was introduced to the audience who gave her the chats in salute. The applause was tremendous. The speaker said Mrs. Stubbs had enlisted in the cause of woman suffrage and temperance and was in the field to help make the world better. Miss Shoner paid Mrs. Stubbe a high compliment. Said she loved her for her devotion that she liked a mother who trained her children to work, and instead of card parties Mrs. Stubbe had her daughters reading good books and doing good work for the service of God. This remark brought the house down for this crowd represented all that is good. Comrade Haworth, of Kansas City, Kas, 84 years of age and delegate to the convention that nominated Lincoln in 1860 said that he was too feeble to talk, but the colored people were his friends, and that he owned the mementos which were presented by the Rev O. E Jones, pastor of Saint John African Methodist church, Kansas City, Kas, who said it was a pleasure as well as an honor to present the gavel and coin made from a rail split by Abraham Lincoln and used to govern a body of MISS EVA MARSHALL patriotic men who had the courage to nominate a man who proved to be the saviour of America. Dr. John Jones, ex president of Wilberforce University, the noted Ohio school, set the Kansas praries afire for about forty-five minutes. The eloquent devine had the people well in hand when he said, "I came all the way from Ohio to witness the unveiling of the monument erected to memory of Old John Brown, who like the Saviour who died on the cross to make man holy so did John Brown die on the gallows at Harper's Ferry that you and I and the white man as well should be free." He warned his hearers that the colored man was being misjudged that like Sampson of old he only needed to locate his strength and when he does he will arise in all his might and destroy the American temple of prejudice which would tople down and destroy race prejudice and hatred and sink its followers into everlasting objection. He said further, "There was a man named John sent from God to deliver this race from oppression and his spirit is still marching on until the race is redeemed. Ex Governor John P. Saint John, who when governor of Kansas fathered the exodus which brought thousands of colored people to the state, said that he was no latter day convert on the race question, that he was arrested back in Indiana for feeding a runaway slave boy and and took before a copper-head judge, who discharged him by saying the proof was insufficient. He said, "Judge, I did feed that poor star. ing boy and would feed a dog if one came to my door hungry," but the judge insisted that I was re. --- leased. The people were with me. "I love Old John Brown," and the speaker, "he died for a righteous cause and set the good, Christian people of this nation nation to talking and they soon found that the John Brown spirit was the factor in bringing about freedom. Miss Eva Marshall Shontz was introduced as speaker of the day. Garbed in a plain, simple white dress, she came forward carrying a beautiful. She began by saying, "My dear brothers and sisters," Miss Shontz began again, as she waved the flag and the cheering subside. "This flag has always been the hope of universal peace. The greatest victories have been won since this flag was born and one of the greatest of these many victories I consider is the victory John Brown fore saw for the Negro when he fired on Harper's lerry. "Stateman, martyr, patriot, savior of the Negro," thus Miss Shontz enologized John Brown. "They call him a murderer, a thief and say he was a traitor. But people are beginning to realize that he was one of the greatest men of the Nineteenth Century. He began the movement for Negro freedom and that work alone placed him in the hall of fame as a great man." Warming up to her subject, she SHONTZ AND MOTHER said, "This airg has brought peace to millions in Cuba, Mexico America and other countries." She portrayed the great battles fought from the inspiration of the flag and said she wanted to elicit all under the flag to drive out that great evil, the liquor traffic, a work in which she is interested heart and soul. The monument is lourted on the on the highest point of the university grounds in front of the girls' dormitory and can be seen for several blocks around. Much credit is due M. H. Rice and assistant, A.F. Blauw, who who was on the grounds during the exercises. He is a signified gentleman who took great pains in assisting President Kealing in arranging the unveiling. Mr. Rice is to be complimented upon having such a competent gentleman in his employ. Mr. Rice is one of the largest monument and insolum buildings in the West, located at 1229 Main street, Kansas City, Mo., and his specimens are the finest we ever witnessed. HISTORY. from your age, Bishop Abraham Grant conceived the idea that the race for whom John Brown of Oswatonna died should give visual and ongoing expression of the gratitude that wells higher in the hearts of each succeeding generation. With characteristic promptness he at once made public announcement of his purpose and opened a public subscription for the raising of the necessary funds. The response was immediate and enthusiastic; money flowed in from every section of the country, mostly in small locations, but in a continuous stream, until the amount needed was in sight. As Bishop Grant saw this lively evidence of love among the common people for the matter to then liberty, he was --- 元 THE LATE BISHOP GRANT, Originator of the Movement to to Erect the Monument I shout, " slamming it is the easiest money I have tried to raise." On March 24, 1910, the contract for the design and the statute was given to the firm of M. H. Roe, 1229 31 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri, who set to work, producing a design representing John Brown taking a Negro child in his arms and kissing it on his way to the scaffold, according to the firm as pointing so Thomas Hovenden. For several years, however, it was held to simplify the presentation to the statute as it now stands in a mirroring dignity and moral power. The execution of Mr. Rice's design was committed to Chignolle, a noted sculptor in Carrut, Italy, to be wrought out in purest Carrut marble. How nobly he acted his subject and made the stone speak, all who look upon the monument can say. Under the terms of the contract, Mr. Rice as to have the monument erected on the campus of Western University not later than June 1, 1911; but he was even better than his promise, for the statue was shipped from Italy in April, 1911, arriving in New York, May 1, and reaching Kansas City, May 15. The grunt foundation arrived May 19, and the whole was immediately placed in position on the spot selected, for the invading June 8. It was the longing wish of Bishop Grant, when he knew he was stricken unto death, that the statue might arrive before he departed, and his friends had arranged to have it hauled from the cars to his window that he might look out upon the last great achievement of his great heart and mind, but he had an appointment with God and I could not wait. Who doubts that he looks down on the John Brown Monument today from above. 4. Lets About the John Brown Monument. Made in Gurine, Italy, by Chignolle. Commission taken and executed by M. P.

COMMENCEMENT AT QUINDARO There were many happy souls at the fifteenth annual commencement of Western University during the past week. The exercises took place in the morning under a mammoth tent where several hundred people witnessed the exercises. There were several beautiful college girls dressed in white looking and stepping with the grace and dignity of so many queens.

Schuller Bros. promise on the other hand to keep their cut prices in force all summer. Schiller Bros. give handsome and valuable premiums to customers free of all charge.

THE AT WASHINGTON. The sub committee of the Judiciary of the senator; Senators Root, Sutherland and Bacon have reached the conclusion that there is work enough for William H. Lewis to perform as assistant attorney general and recommend his confirmation. It is understood however that a number of southern fire-cat ing senators will vigorously oppose the nomination on the door of the senate. It is in the opinion of senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, that "the only way for the two races to live in recognition of of their inferiority." This opinion was in the course of a speech delivered by the Trau to the Confederate Veteran who had assembled Monday night to honor the memory of J. Merson Davis, president of the Confederacy. The sentiment was received with great applause by the Southern present. The colored people of Washington are somewhat stirred up over the statement made here recently by senator Bailey of Texas, that the south was right in seceding from the Union when the ideas and beliefs of the south were not in accord with the ideas and beliefs of the Union. Such was the tone of the speech that it "got on" the nerves senator Clapp of Minnesota, and that gentleman took a sideswipe at his collabor. If Bailey's talk is not as much treason as that of Jeff Davis or any other rebel then there is no reason If the South was right, then the North was wrong, all the damage done by its army should be paid for by the government. The Heifin case narrowly missed being re enacted here again recently when Congressman Rodenbeery of Texas, attacked a colored man who took a seat beside him in a street car. The peculiar part of this affair is that many of members of Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, lionfired this act as one of heroism, and congratulations poured in upon this little beast from George as though he had conquered an army and did David when he slew Goloth. The fact is, while Congressman Ollie James of Kentucky, a two hundred pound lightweight, and others, with the street car conductor and motorman thrown up, held the colored man this little shltimp got in this work. When men who are sent here as law-makers turn to be law-breakers, it is time to call a halt in the attempt to harmonize the world in one great peace pact, especially with the United States in the foreground. Hon. William T. Vernon, ex-register of the United States treasury, is again the recipient of a favor from the Government, having received an appointment as supervisor of the schools for the five civilized tribes in Oklahoma, and the headquarters will at Muskogee. The position comes under the Interior Department. Mrs. Clara Roundtree, a teacher in the public schools for Topeka, Kansas, has arrived in the city and will spend the summer with her husband, Mr. John Roundtree, who is a clerk in the Bureau of the Census. President Taft told a delegation of negroes, representing the National Association for the advancement of colored people, that he would denounce lynching in his regular message to Congress. He said that the committee did right in calling his attention to the matter and in this way bringing it to the attention of the country. Before he was elected president, Mr Taft denounced the mob. In one of his speeches are found these words: "A mob develops the most friendliness cruelty, manifesting itself in the blindest and most unreasonable assaults upon perfectly innocent people simply because of their colored. It is impossible to read accounts of this sort without having one's blood boil with indignation that there can reside in the human breast such a savage and beastly impulse." Hon. J. C. Napier, register of the treasury, entertained at lunch Monday, Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age. The other guests were Hona. W H. Lewis, assistant attorney general; Ralph W Tyler, auditor for the navy department; Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register of the treasury and James A. Cobb, assistant district attorney Hon William Tecumseh Vernon ex-register of the treasury, has returned from Kansas City, Kansas, where he has been for several weeks at the bedside of his father who has been serious ill, but is now recovering. Mr. Vernon still leads in the race for appointment as Minister to Haitt, but there are a number class at his beels. That Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, was superior to Abraham Lincoln in every respect, and that had the positions of Lincoln and Davis, been reversed, Davis would "have crushed Lincoln in one week," was the assertion made Saturday night by Copt. S. M. de Leon, in a speech before the united Daughters of the Confederacy a exercises in honor of Davis' birthday in Confederate Veterans' Hall in this city. Amendments with real teeth in them are being prepared for the bill for the publicity of campaign expenditures, and if they are adopted by the Senate, as is predicted, the Republican body will go the Democratic House one better in that legislation. Justice John M. Harlan, sebior associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United State, celebrated his seventy eighth birthday a few days ago. He was overwhelmed with message and notes and letters of congratulation. "Retire?" said the justice in reply to a question. "Why I'm not an old man. I'm 73, but I don't feel more than half that number of years. The Supreme Court has made many decisions adverse to the Afo.American people, but Justice Harlan has invariably dissented. Harriet Tubman, who ran away from slavery before the civil war and became the most noted "conductor on the underground railroad, leading over 3,000 slaves to freedom, has been taken sick and penniless to the Harriet Tubman Home. She gave her all to establish a home for aged colored men and women at Auburn, N. Y., of which she is now an inmate. She was the friend of Frederick Douglas, William Lloyd Harrison, Wendell Phillips, John Brown, William II Seward and Abraham Lincoln. It is very likely that President Tatt will commute the sentence of Mattie E. Lomaz, xxx a colored woman, who is to be hanged here July 11, for the murder of her husband. There is a general sentiment against the hanging of a woman at the National Capital. JUNCTION CITY. Mrs. Aldredge and Mrs. Ike Perkins and M. D. Jones spent Saturday at Skiddy fishing. Mrs. Sirah Haitmon, of Madison Baray, N. Y., left Sunday for her home after two weeks visit with her mother, Mrs. Clara Williams. Rev.

Mrs. M D Jones, who has been with us for three years, left this week for home in Topeka, where she will reamin a few days, then she will spend the summer in Denver, Colo. Mrs. Jones has been very useful in our church and S. S. work and we regret very much to see her leave. She gave a reception Friday afternoon as the resident of Mrs. Ike Perkins W. 3rd Street for her S. S. class after ice cream and cake was passed each member and visitor expressed their regret to see her leave those present were: Harthalonia Hurley, Vernon Asbury, Bertha Griffin, Charlottee Rainbow, Ruth Williams, Carabell Hardon, Helen Jones, Thalama Couch, Elvie Hurley, Hortence Hurley, Lottie Brown, Dorothy Richardson, Roumania Williams, Lottie Mason, Louis Small, Beatrice Rainbow, Elletta Blantire, Amercia Hurley, Henry Small, Francis Johnson, Columbus Small, and Omanud Hurley.

Live Stock TREATMENT OF BOG SPAVIN Trouble May Be Corrected by Appl ation of Cold Water and Lo- A round, smooth tumor at the front and on the inside of the hock. It is the result of sprains, bruises or other injuries. When these injuries occur too much joint oil is secreted, causing a bulging of the ligament. Lameness seldom accompanies a bog spavin. If lameness be present other structures are certain to be affected, and some pain and heat will be noticed, together with a stiffness of the joint. Treatment consists of applications of cold water to the affected parts and a lotion made of two tablespoonfuls acetate of lead in a quart of water. A blister made of one teaspoonful biolodide of mercury and four tablespoonfuls lard, rubbed in a little with the fingers, and repeated 0 Bog Spavin. In ten days or two weeks and continued for some months, will correct the trouble. Wash the parts having received the blister twenty four hours after application. It is also advisable to tie the horse a head while the blister is on, so that he cannot bite the part. FLESH FLIES BOTHER SHEEP Flock Should Be Watched Closely, Especially In Warm, Damp Weather, to Keep Pesta Away. When the sheep's wool becomes filthy and the skin irritated an ideal condition is made for the work of the maggot fly. And when the maggots get a start they create a more and more friendly harbor for their kind as they work and increase in numbers under the wool, says the Sheep Breeder. A sheep infected with maggots is a most pitiful sight, helpless against the parasites eating out its flesh until sheep dies, its life gnawed out in a most cruel manner. For the sake of humanity, if for no other reason, sheep should be saved from such suffering. These files can do no damage if not given a suitable place to lay their eggs. Sheep should be watched carefully, especially in warm, damp weather, and dirty tag locks or other fifth clipped off and a little tar dabbed on if the skin is chafed. These maggots also get in their work under ram's horns. Indeed a ram with heavy horns lying close to his head will hardly pass through a summer without infection unless the flies are kept away by putting some tar on the ram's head. An infected sheep can be told by the fact that it refuses to eat, stands with its head down and most often by itself, and stamps its feet or jerks its head exactly as irritation by maggots would lead one to expect. The remedy is simple. Cut away the wool close. Clean out all maggots, using turpentine to wash them out. Smear the place thoroughly with tar. Then keep watch of the sheep to see that the flies do not again start in the same place. Thoroughness in cleaning out the parasites is essential, for one leaf in will start the damage all over The Ideal Horse Stable A well known stockman says: The meal stable should have the horse facing north to obtain an even temperature, it should not be too large so that you keep the animal heat under control, and not have stable temperature either materially raised or lowered when half a dozen animals are either taken out or brought in. The ventilation should be perfect and as strong as possible up to the iniquitous draught point. Let the ceiling be as high as convenient, and if the wise builder has left an inch or so open around the upper edge, where the stablemen cannot stop it up all the better. Apples for Colts. Apples given in small quantities make an excellent feed for colts. There is no better way of getting on good terms with the youngsters than by quatering sweet apples and feeding to them from the hand.

VERNON AND HATI Former Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon has just returned to the city from Kansas, his home State, where he was called by the serious illness of his father. Mr. Vernon was interviewed concerning an alleged dispatch published in the New York Age, charging that in the event of appointment as Minister to Haiti, he would work for the annexation of that island with the hope of becoming its governor-general "As far as the independence of Haiti is concerned," said Mr. Veillon, "I am now as I have always been, in favor of the same. The glorious carrer and struggle for independence of that Republic is to me, as it is to all right thinking Negroes, a source of inspiration and pride and will forever be. "So far as I know, Mr. Iurens is making a splendid and acceptable Minister and I do not know that any changed is contemplated. "However I appreciate the many favorable expressions from the press and my friends throughout the country who have manifested such a kindly interest in me in connection with that high and honorable position." "Any American Negro honored by such appointment should do everything consistent with his position for the continued liberty and ever-increasing prosperity of that Republic." "As to the alleged dispatch which purported to come from Quindaro, Kansas, I have only this to say: A most thorough investigation in Quindaro fails to disclose anyone who knows anything whatever of the alleged dispatch." "I regret that The Aage should use its columns for the circulation of such ill-founded reports." GUTHRIE, OKLA Mrs. Mable Carr Martin, of Tulsa, is in the city visiting Miss S. V. Floyd on E.

CAPPER FOR GOVERNOR State's Leading Newspaper Man the Only Moses to Restore Harmony and Lead the Republican Party to Victory. Mr. Arthur Capper has announced himself as a bonafide candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in 1912 Mr. Capper is a young man who worked his way up from the bottom. He is a professional printer and has probably finished every place in the newspaper world from office devil to editor and owner of the leading daily paper of Kansas. His Farmers' Mail Breeze, one of his several weekly publications has over one hundred thousand circulation Mr Capper is one of Topeka's most progressive and active citizens, employing hundreds of men and women in his large publishing establishment at Eighth and Jackson streets. This was the first modern steele structure erected in Topeka and cost over three hundred thousand dollars. Mr Capper is in sympathy with those who struggle from morning till night for a livel Mr. Arthur Capper, Harmon J. Mr. Arthur Capper, Harmony Candidate for Governor hood having himself worked hard all of his life. Having been born and retired in Kansas, he must be imbued with some of Old John Brown's ideas Mr. Capper will practically have no opposition at the polls as both elements of the party have practically agreed that he is the one man to bring about harmony within the ranks of the party and at the same time do much to promote the growth and prosperity of Kansas and her people. He and his worthy papers have assisted in making Kansas history and caused the barren plains to be peopled and blossom as the rose. His platform is written in the Kansas language, and struck the keynote when he said: I am a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor and I ask the support of the Republicans of Kansas at the primary election in 1912. I have been interested in progressive Republicanism; not as a game of political advantage; not for the purpose of furthering the interests of any faction nor to advance the fortunes of individuals; but as a means of working out sound policies of governments of correcting the abuses that have arisen, and of promoting the rights and the properti ity of all the people. I believe in party organization. I believe in political leadership, but I am now and always have been opposed to political combatants whose power is intended to be used for the benefit of corporate interests and not for the benefit of the people generally. I lightened and alternated public opinion, working closely through the Republican party, has wrought enormous changes in political alliances in recent years. The people are taking the public business more directly into their own hands. Our election machinery has been changed as to make it more easily a tool vehicle for the oft-twisted expression of the public will. It is a constructive use in politics, the law is being turned our civil liberties in many directions that have been taken the methods which are against the public good and degrading to the public morals so being controlled; the business organization is being equipped; and the efforts of the state administered more efficiently and more honestly than ever before. I have truth that Kansas will soon be lead in the study and the solution to the great sound issue in terms up in which all future programs will be in harmony sympathetic with the Republican program of political progress as it now exists in this state and in the nation, and I have my Candidate for Governor 1. *bel* to be a position to another 2. *leg* the next movement. As a Republican candidate for Governor, I deeply interst in Republican success in the best means of furthering the policies in which I believe, I shall stand proudly for masonry which I regard as vitally necessary to clean,整洁, progressive, popular government. I believe in the strict accountability of the executive to all the people and in I am clear government I shall be under obligations solely to the people to give the people a business administration, with the same strict attention to economical expenditure of the public money I employ in my own business. I believe that every man who draws a dollar from the state treasury should tender full service in return. I shall stand in the lowest taxes consistent with efficient public service in a growing state; for aggressive war upon all terms of militancy, graff and political corruption whether found within my own party or outside of it, for nonpartition in administration of the state's schools, colleges, charitable and penal institutions, for the strict regulation of all public utilities; for fair and equitable transportation rates; for the encouragement of every effort intended to keep corporations within safe and honest bounds; for election laws making the will of the individual voter effective on state and national questions; for a more practical system of good roads for the farmer; and for all hopeful, progressive, constructive legislation. I believe in property rights, but I believe, still more in human rights. I shall do all in my power to promote decency, sobriety and morality. I promise to enforce all laws now on the statute books. I am in cordial sympathy with the purpose of the provision of the State Constitution prohibiting the traffic in intolerable liquor, and I shall work for its strict enforcement in every portion of the state. I shall stand for everything that will contribute to the state matters and moral well being and advancement. If Government shall do my best to keep out the gratters; the hottest; the hang doors; the jerks; the most official, cloak and commissions; to whish the excessive salaries; the prices in legislative acts; and the extravagant appropriations; and shall endeavor to handle the business of the state with justice and economy and on the best basis of the greatest good to the greatest number. I am deeply interested in the development of our material resources. I have in the hands of yesterday and today and even more in the hands of tomorrow. We are only just beginning our work as a great commonwealth. We should let the people of the world know that this state, which has the cleanest and best government in America, much so under the rule of the Republican party, also offers tremendous industrial and agricultural possibilities and that wonderful opportunities await not only the thrifty, clean funded cities, no matter what is so in town, but the ambitious, enterprising independent manpower and business men who strive a more promising field. I was born in Kansas; I have lived here all my life; and every interest I have is contained in Kansas. Whatever mismeasure of success I have a moved in his home town as a citizen of Kansas. I have undeclared pledge in the state and animated confidence in its future. I have done what I could for a better and greater Kansas. My contributions are at the capital of the state for over twenty six years has given me unusual opportunity to become there oughtly familiar with every department at the state's business. I have been a Republican ever since. I could vote and am proud, the road made by my deputy in the state and in the nation. I have also obtained principles and certain kinds of public service and I have endeavored to live up to these ideals and these principles. I will make no basis I am campaign for this other. As a candidate I shall be before the people with nothing more than a plan, an intention and platform of the things I believe my business ow- nows to compete in to do, and my pleasures will be limited to those I think I can homestyle suit. It I become Governor I will take the office unanticipated by a single promise expressed or implied, save my public promises to the voters. I do not care to be elected Governor if to do so I must enter into any relations with any person; any political factions or any business interests which will make it impossible for me to save the public properly. It I occupy the executive chair I want to tell that I have been chosen and elected by the rank and file of the voters of this state, and that I owe no allegiance but to them. I want it understood that I am not running as the candidate of a faction. I solicit the support of all Republicans against them or their formal affiliations, and promise them that if elected, I shall be governed for all factions and for all factions and shall administer the factions without interruption with an prejudice toward any.
