Nail Up the Doors to the State House for a Long Term of Years. Progressive Republicans Referred to as Revolutionary, Self-Seeking Mal contents, At the Kansas Day Club banquet, January 29, 1912. Mr. R. M. Anderson of Beloit, made a speech. Discussing the speech in its issue of January 20th, following the banquet, the Topeka Daily Capital said: “In talking on the subject, “Our Duty,” R. M. Anderson of Beloit, de clared the ordinary voters would glad ly welcome a complete embargo upon political activity; the nailing up of the doors of the state house for a long term of years. He referred to the Progressives as revolutionary, self - seeking malcontents, and expressed cu riosity as to how they managed to get in the Republican party. Mr. Anderson was referring to that large Republican army in Kansas that had turned its face to the front in de anding and enacting into law the pro gressive policies that are now advocated by practically every voter of the state. Por at that time W. R. Stubbs was governor, and Joseph L. Bristow was United States senator. Those with countless thousands of other Republi cans of Kansas who, for forty years, have fought the party's battles and swelled its majorities are the “revolu tionary self-seeking malcontents”” Mr. Anderson had in mind when he declared in that speech, as published in full in the Beloit Gazette: “Of recent years they have pretend ed to be holier than thou reformers. They have overworked it until the or dinary citizen is disgusted.’ Mr. Anderson was not a candidate for congress in the Sixth district when he made that speech at Topeka, in 1912 and said” “As a matter of fact we of the common herd, would gladly wel come an embargo on political activity in general.” Probably no greater in sult was ever offered to the intelligence for the farmers and businessmen of Kansas than the flippant and foolhar dy statement made by R. M. Ander son in that 1912 Kansas Day speech at Topeka, when he said: “There is not a farmer or business man in Kansas who wouldn't welcome with great glee the nailing up of every way of ingress and egress to our very state house for a long term of years. * The farmers and business men of the Sixth congressional district who have builded within the boundaries of its twenty-two counties a great empire, are among those included in Anderson's indictment as ready to “welcome with tglee ” the nailing up of the state house doors. They constitute the voters who in 1916, will nominate and elect a Re publican congressman. Will they send to Washington a man who stands on a platform demanding that the doors of the state house be nailed up, and then be compelled to explain that he advo cated this because in its executive de partment and legislative halls progres sive policies were advocated and pro gressive laws enacted? Again speaking of the progressive Republicans of Kansas, Mr. Anderson said in his Topeka speech: “As a mat ter of fact I have always been cur ious to know just how these revolu tionary, self seeking malcontents hap pened to land within the ranks of the Republican party. The only reason I have been able to find is that just at the time of their political sanctification we seemed to have the most votes.” And then speaking for the Sixth district, Mr. Anderson made this statement: ““Give us more of that kind and man ner of man with the consumate cour age to exercise the veto on half-baked political measures blindly thrown to gether as so much ground glass for the President's meal by a vicious and bloodthirsty adversary. This is what we of the Sixth district pronounce courage, poise, and judgment. This is what we as Republicans want. We want more Taft. In his Kgnses Day Club speech Mr. Whether he referred to the great ma jority of Republican voters in the Sixth district who have stood for the progres sive policies and principals of the par ty, or whether that inuendo was aimed at the noble womanhood of the district and state, who are now voters, he did not explain. But he did not fail to cast a slur at prohibition, veiled with Sarcasm that would only appeal to the baser side of life. Mr. Anderson said: “But, I take it, we would no sooner enter the threshold of this much to be desired and almost utopian scheme, busy with our individual concerns, toasting our feet by the family fireside in blissful communion with wife and kiddos, when with din and rattle and roar of charavari canister, up would dash some illiterate, publicity seeking politican upon his quixotic exigency, ‘tones that we turn out the homeguards forthwith; our neighbor is about to take a drink.”’ ‘Woman Cures Horse Colic. ‘The men were away as usual. The horse was bad. A lone woman could not “drench’’ in the old way. She called up a neighbor and her men were away—but, “We have Parris Coli Remedy that you drop on the horse's tongue,”’ says Mrs. Neighbor. So she came over and dropped Parris Colic Remedy on the horse's tongue and the horse was well when the men came home.Moral: Get Parris Colic Remedy so the women can cure horse colic. | We set it at Gods, = bottle on the a OO Eeraters Buckeye’s Conglomerations.
