From the Lawrence Daily World for July 9, 1906: “Boiled down, the Republican platform features three things: A stringent direct primary law; a stringent anti-pass law; a reform in the present method of assessing railroad property. Candidates are being asked to embrace what amounts to a potent ethics code and platform and it appears all will do so : Saloon-buster Carry Nation of Kansas has been arrested for circulating obscene matter through the mails. When did Aunt Carry, who has visited here often, begin traveling by mail? : Those young German noblemen who are marrying multi-millionaire Krupp’s daughters are laying themselves liable to charges of Krupp-tion.”
