The republican state, conyention for
Kansas met at Topclca, May 2, and
nominated the following ticke'c:
Governor Edward W. Hoch.
Lieutenant Governor William J
Fitzgerald.
Secretary of StateCharles TS. Den
ton. State Auditor James M. Nation.
State Treasurer Mark Tully.
Attorney General Fred S. Jaclcson.
Sta'te Superintendent of Public In
struction E. T. Fairchild.
Justices of Supreme dourt Six

City; Charles B. Graves, Emporia.
Railroad Commissioners George
W. Kanavel, Frank Ryan, Charles A.
Ryker.
Insurance Commissioner Charles
W. Barnes.
State Printer Thomas A. McNeal.
The resolutions adopted by the con
vention reaffirm the party's pride "in
the history and achievements of the
national organization and adherence
to its principles," and continue:
"The wisdom of its financial policy,
so fiercely antagonized, is now uni
versally conceded, while its protective
policy provokes controversy only be
tween revisionists and stand-patters.
Under the magic of these wise poli
cies the country, has vaulted to the
front rank among the nations in
finance, in manufactures, in material
development and in general prosper
ity, while its wage-earners find re
numeration twice as great as under
any other flag. The vigorous, able
and wise. administration of President
Roosevelt commands our enthusiastic
approval, as i'c has won the plaudits
of our countrymen, regardless of
party. We especially approve his de
mands for the regulation of railroad
rates and commend our senators and
representatives in congress for their
support of this policy"
The resolutions demand the abol
ishment of free railway passes, ex
cept to regular employes, and say:
"We believe that platform promises
are as sacred as business contracts,
and should be as faithfully fulfilled
and we point "with pardonable pride to
the redemption of the numerous
promises made in our last state plat
form. ' Among the many wise enact
ments of the last legislature we call
attention to the adoption of the vari
ous enactments in the interests of the
oil producers which have already
made possible the erection of eight
independent refineries, laws which are
being copied in other states, thus
widening the benefit of this beneficent
policy and making certain the ulti
mate restoration of legitimate
competition in the oil business;
to the enactment of a railroad law
which has no equal on the statute
books of any state and which Is in
advance of anything congress is being
asked to enact, and to the enactment
of twelve additional and supplemental
laws affecting the interests of passen
gers and shippers, making the most
complete list of laws on the railroad
subject ever enacted by any one legislature.
"We pledge ourselves to such
amendments to these enactments as
time and experience may demonstrate
to be wise.!'

A PHILADELPHIA FINANCIER
The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
"'Congress might keep all the mints
busy for quite a while if it would set
them to work recoining the useless
silver dollars into needed fractional
currency."
Where are the useless silver dol
lars? Does not the Inquirer know
that the silver dollars in the treasury
are represented by silver certificates
and to all practical purposes are al
ready in circulation? Does not the In
quirer know that every dollar bill
which circulated in the country has a
silver dollar behind it in the treasury?
Does the Inquirer want the govern
ment to call in the $460,000,000 of sil
ver certificates, redeem them in gold
or bonds and then increase our sub
sidiary silver from $117000,000 to near
ly $700,000,00T?
All of our silver stock is in active
use, either as coin in actual circula
tion or as silver certificates. Some
may question the stability of our sil
ver circulating medium on a parity
with gold, but surely no one can as
sert truthfully that our silver money
is useless, for it is all in circulation
in one form or another. The Inquirer
evidently doesn't comprehend the
money situation. Houston Post.
