The small manufacturers, millers, grain dealers and merchants are the doomed victims of the mighty trust. The farmers of Kansas, while enjoying the result of bountiful harvests and abnormal foreign markets, ought to realize that they too are doomed to pay a steadily increasing tribute to trust monopolies, in unjust freight tariffs and discriminations which, in the end, is to reduce the purchasers of farm products to one great monopoly.

Our party stands as the peoples' organization, to rescue the Government from an imperialistic policy, a policy fed by centralized wealth and used to plunder and oppress the people on every hand. I appeal to all members of our party, and especially to those, who for years have stood shoulder to shoulder in the long struggle for industrial and commercial freedom, to rally once more and enter this campaign with the old time zeal and self-sacrificing spirit that has characterized the party since Its inception, and which has brought victory and corresponding benefits to all the people of Kansas. In meeting the enemy in Its new guise we are not losing sight of the fact that the ultimate relief from existing conditions must come along the lines of a more extensive government ownership of the means of production and distribution. We are still battling for a system of government money instead of bank money, and a government system of transportation instead of a private system, and never before have 3 WEALTH AND SUCCESSjIIRR Although Shawnee County has heretofore been the stronghold of Republicanism, there is every indication that it will swing into the fusion column this year. People are becoming tired of boss-ridden, gang-dictated machine methods in politics, and the time is ripe But neither cau be attained or enioved without HEALTH OF MIND AND BODY; nor can education )e of much use without a perfect physkiue; all of which you can have, by the knowledge and assistance of our irreat NEW THEORIES and TREATMENT, which will restore you if out of order, and t-a here for?" That is the spirit of their talk and actions.

"Let 'em squirm. We have a good safe majority to fall back on." The same spirit which prevails with the "leaders" prevails with the party. It picks up some ward heeler and places him in office as a reward for some Questionable party service. Look over your county officers to-day. How many of them are there whom you would trust to manage an important business enterprise of your own? County and city matters at least for a change.

The dissatisfaction is not confined to Toneka. From all over Shawnee Coun ty reports of political changes are coming in by the hundreds. The people want a new deal. They have tried the old one for many years and they don't like it. This vear is the great opportunity for the fusion forces in Shawnee Coun ty.

Rtdot.ey, Chairman People's Party State Com united and harmonious, out it win uiko There never was a time in the history Shawnee County when there was so much general dissatisfaction over existing conditions. The discontent Is not confined to Topeka alone but It spreads throughout the county. It is not a matter of politics so much as it is a matter of dollars and cents. It Is the tax payers who are doing the kicking. They realize something is radically wrong and are investigating into the cause.

They find the tax levy has reached the extreme limit allowed by law. Thousands upon thousands of dollars are being extravagantly spent by the city and county governments and there is but very little to show for it. This is the situation which confronts the tax payer. No wonder he is becoming restless and warm under the collar. No wonder he wants to ascertain the cause and apply the remedy.

The cause is not difficult to discover. It is the natural result of placing one party in continuous power. The party through its representatives, has become arrogant, extravagant and, in many instances, corrupt. Power is naturally corrupting, especially when the man or party who possess it realizes he cannot be shaken. This Is the case in Topeka and Shawnee County.

The Republican officeholders realizing they have a "cinch" on affairs, carry things with a high hand. What do they care for the interests of the people? "The people be What are we work to carry Shawnee County. We must make some more converts, ror converts means votes.

Why not? They affect you as business men. For instance, take the present' board of county commissioners. They spend thousands of dollars of your money annually. They draw $500 a year salary. They are either cheap men or they must make something on the side.

If you were going to build a private bridge, or a house, would you employ a $500 man to superintend the work for you? Now, as to the remedy. As a business proposition, when an employe becomes extravagant, corrupt or in any way unsatisfactory, the thing to do is to "Are" him. That's what a man does in business affairs. Why not pursue the same policy in county affairs? A A. M.
