Slump in Wheat
Unnatural, Says
, Kansas Report
(ruvoriior Allen Finds Price
Drop Due to Manipulations
In Fu turps ami Free
Canada Grain. .
Topcka, Kan., Oct. 26.- Governor
Henry J. Allen of Kansae tonight
turned ovrr the material he had
gathered nhowing the alleged cause
tnt the drop in the wheat market to
(i. A. Stephens, upecial agent oT the
federal trade cnininiMion, who came
here to connult the governor in re
lation to the investigation of the Chi
cago Heard of Trade.
A Matemnit of what the material
contain iued from the governor's
wmre,,ayi:
"The governor turned over con
siderable material that has been col
lected showing that the drop in
vheat was unnatural and doubtless
(be result of manipulation in wheat
futures, together with the use made
of the free wheat front Canada.
"An investigation ot the stocks of
wheat on hand at Chicago, Minne
apolis and Kansas City, the con
trolling wheat markets, shows that
there has been a gradual reduction
in the amount of wheat at these
terminal markets during the months
of July, August and September and,
while the statements for October
Uow a-slight increase over Sep
Nember it Is very much below the
reserve on hand July 1.
"For instance, on July 1, the' total
Mock of wheat at Chicago, Minne
apolis and Kansas. City was 8.518.
"86 bushels; August 2, 3.791,104
bushels; September 4, 3.757,000
bushels; October 1, 977,715 bushels.
While wheat had taken a tumble of
?1 per bushel there was a reduction
in the stock qu hand of 4.500,000
bushels. ' .
"Surely'irt the face of these facts
no irttell'getit man will contend it
was the law of supply and demand,
because the price reduced while the
tock was decreasing".

Foresight Wai Used.
"When the wise and unselfish men
bid the foundation for vtbta. United
State of America indicated the fu
urc for ut, they welt knew that is
sues of the moment would change;
they well knew that each genera
tion would face new-problems. As
they kncvV the courses of history, as
they knew the record of change and
progress tram the past, they foresaw
the changes and the progress that
mutt come with the future. . When
they shaped a document for the in
tpiratiou cf their fellow patriots and
for the guidance of the nation, they
left the way oncn for such growth
and such adoption of .new devices as
the exigencies ot time would demand.
But they created , and left for us,
their descendants,. n instrument
which was soundlyr constructed, and
which was calculated as the basis
tor the permanent structure of liber
ty in our land.
"It is the continuous problem of
government to adapt ourselves to
new needs, but never to undermine
the foundations oiree government.
The shores of hirtory are strewn
with the wreckage of republics
which fell before the ambitions of
srlfish despots, or which disinte
grated beneath the blight of an un
wise personal exaltation. -,
. Must Maintain Ideals.
"Our own government can con
tinue only upon the basis upon
which it is buiju -and we can see
through the worW aud particularly
we can see it at this pime, the penal
ty exacted from those who let un
trained and "unthinking desires
stampede the people from paths f
anity. and those who would falsely
in the betrayefl name of freedom
substitute a personal dictatorship
tor a governmeat of, by, and for the
people.
"it matters little in the final con
sequences, whavmay be the profes
sions of the motives of those who
seek by personal agression to .dis
play the authority of a free people
eterted through tested and proven
cirnrls of representative and con
stitutional government. For con
ftitutionat' government once des
troyed, cannot be easily replaced.
Formings of disaster must be heeded
lest they are succeeded by a cancer
ous and fatal growth beyond the
reaches of cure.
O. O. P. For Constitution.
"The re pu.Micai party stands upon

sttta'ion. It will not depart from it
The democratic party, under the
spell of a dominating personality,
hat stepped down from that founda
tion an1 points to a mirage m which
tVre is o sustenance and life.
"Th1 repuhhon party demands
correction of all the ills which have
been bred in tha false doctrines of
extra-constitutional government; it
demands removal of burdens placed
upon the people through disregard
of the sane functions of government,
functions which must be .directed
with wisdom and encompassed wttfc
thrift.
. "The world war lias been ended for
tw&v years; yet the burdens o that
war rest heavily upon the shoulders
of the American people. Waste,
which mav be viewed with tolera
tion under the stress of haste of ward
cannot so be regarded in times or
peace. We are at peace. The tech
nicalities of the situation do not re
move the fact that we have no war
with any land, rot. do they alleviate
the injury done the American people
during the past two years and before
the war, under (he administration of
the executive department of the rov
.niment by the democratic party. Re
tention in government employ of
vast numbers of employes, the oc
casion for whose employment; has
passed; retention of taxes, devised
for emergencies, beyond the period
of their initiation, and- their neces

with such inefficiency as has been
manifested in our postoffice depart
ment, such failure of co-operation as
investigations, have disclosed in the
Navy department, Such injustices as
have marred the 'War department,
have aroused the people to an indig
nation which ran onlv be satisfied by
discharging those servants who have

Peace is the normal state of man. to

So in the time of peace we need

endure and second that we may as

The republican party has always
furthered, by sound means, the pros

now. .The republican party, by its
wise tariff policy, built an industrial
America, which is one of the won
ders of the history. The neeWor
this policy is again ' apparent to
thinking men. The war for four
years acted as a walk, but that ia

"The republican party believes, as
it always has believed, that Ameri

the government such legislation as
shall sruarantee a tair return tor
labor performed and that it is en
titled to receive constant protection
against aggressions from a competi

existence alien and .repugnant to

" "Much has been said of American

this is a commonplace of factv For
jio nation can exert either a mate

world, or can find contentment for
its people at its home, unless it keeps
alive and flaming the inspiring fires
of an honest nationalism, bo we
here in America need a deeper un
derstanding of Americanism and i
firm practice ot it. t or such an
Americanism, the republican party
stands. It is the, Americanism of
the American constitution, the be
lief that our government should ful
fill the, guaranties of our declaration
of independence, tha life,, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness should
be as much in the mind of modern
statesmen as they were in the minds
of the pioneers of American liberty.
"There is but one ark upon which
our national faith may rest secure.
It is our constitution. Departure
from that, whatever the jprofession
of motive, is a journey towards the
precipice beyond which is national
