Arthur Capper. publisher of the Topeka Daily Capital and Farmers Mail and Breeze today announced that he would be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor at the primary next year. Mr. Capper has never been an aspirant for public office and says he would not have thought of asking for this nomination had it not been suggested and urged by many of the leaders of every element in the party. His decision to become a candidate was reached by Mr.

Capper after a careful study of the political situation in Kansas. He consulted with many of the rank and file of the voters in every part of the state, as well as with the leaders and is led to believe that his candidacy will be received with much favor at both the primary and the election. Mr. Capper states that he is not running as a factional candidate, and he solicits the support of all factions. A portion of his formal announcement is as follows: As a Republican candidate for Governor, deeply interested in Republican success as the best means of furthering the policies in which I believe, I shall stand squarely for measures which I regard as vitally necessary to clean, efficient, progressive.

popular government. I believe in the strictest accountability of the executive to all the people, and if I am elected Governor I shall be under obligations solely to the people to give the people a business adnunistration, 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 render full service in return. I shall stand for the lowest taxes consistent with efficient public service in a growing state; for aggressive war on all forms of inefficiency, graft and political corruption, whether found within my own party or outside of it; for non-parti-1 san administration of the state's schools, colleges, charitable and pena) 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 the provision of the State Constitution prohibiting the traffle in intoxicating liquors, 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's material and moral well-being and advancement. If Governor I shall do my best to keep out the grafters; the leeches; the hangers on; the jobbers; useless officials, clerks and commissions; to abolish the excessive salaries; the jokers in legislative acts and the gant appropriations; and shall endeavor to handle the business of the state with justice and economy and on the broad basis of the greatest good to the greatest number.

I will make 110 brass band campaign for this. office. As a candidate I shall go before the people with nothing more than a plain, straightforward platform of the things I believe my business experience equips me to do, and my pledges will be limited to those I think I can honestly fulfill, If I become Governor I will take the office untrammeled 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 persou; any political factions or any business interests which will make it impossible for me to serve the public properly. If I cecupy the executive chair want to feel that I have been chosen and elected by the rank and file of the voters of this state, and that I owe 110 allegiance but to them.

I want it understood that I a11 not running as the candidate of a faction. I solicit the support of all Republicans of their former affiliations, and promise them that if elected, I shall be governor for all factions and for all he people and shall ad minister the powers entrusted to me without favoritism and without prejudice toward any Gleanings of Seven Days Items and Comments About. the Doings of Madison.
