10 lie O6oers and C0Dlrades Of the
ArglV of LibertE Qf RGasas, the De-
parfBlent sssdS Greeting:
The lines Of ths political battle are
now formed; the issues are clearly
made up for the voters Of Kansas, in
this campaign. The Department has
waited until e can speak definitely
coneoEning the political situation, and
can tntelligently sdyise the members
Of our orFRnizati0n what course they
should Pluus IN this campaign On or
der that the principles % which we
stand pledged may be most surely pro
NOTED.
The action of the Resubmission Re-
publican and Democratic State Con-
vsntioas, held on the Goth and 2lst Of
August, In this city, let both Of which
august assemblAges quite q number OF
delegates Of the Army Of Liberty were
10 attsndanoel, Ia taking high ground
IN favor Of the
sREsUBMIssIoN OF THE PRO
EIBITORY AMENDMENT"
the Opposlts Of the policy Of the Re
publican Sgate Convention, which
adopted . pronounced Prohibition
platform, makes clear the course 70 be
pursued 10 this campaign by every
member Of our noble orRaniEltion.
The Comrades Of the Army Of LibeF-
ty, who have taken the obligation,
mindful Of lie meaning, as honorable
naen can only pursue one course Of ac-
ton. II they have been Republicans
hitherto, they must give an unwaVer-
ing and loyal support 10 Hon. Geo. w.
Click, for Governor, and TO Hon. Cyrus
X. Holiday, for Lieut.. Governor-the
ticket endorsed by the HesubmissiOn
Republican State ConYention. Fur
thsF than this they are not required
20 20 by the HCtiBn Of the above State
Convention; although Il q Of the
highest inpoFtsnee that the Republl-
can candidates for the Supreme Bench
ahOald Be defsRted, and the Demo
cratic nOmlnsei Cor thosehigh judicial
positions sh0nld be elected.

Hon. oyrsS, K. Holhdsy, of this
city, isA WelI known citizen Of Kan
eas. He d an ardent Hes1bmisslon
Republican, aud wa the. UnanimOus
choice Of the ResUb bnlssion .BepHbli-
can State Convention Tor the position
Of Lieut.. Governor; his nomination,
which was made unanimous by the
Democratic State Convention, being
urged by his many Republican
friends e q step calculated 70 greatly
strengthen the ticket and TO render
certain Its election.
Hon. Geo. w. Click stands as the
brave champion Of Personal Liberty
in Kansas. II he is again elected on
that majestic issue, the overthrow Of
Prohibition In this State Is certain. II
Col. Martin IL elected Governor, stand
ing as he does on q radical Prohibition
platform, and opposing resubmissiOn,
it viii be hsralded throughout Kansas
Rs 6 prohibition victory, and the In
fuence Of the Executive will be 90
great that Il will be impossible to Sc
cure from the Legislature next winter |
either the resubmissiOn Of the amend |
ment, OF the modification Of the |
present prohibltOry law.
The battle turns upon the Governor,
Lieut. Governor, Judges OF the Su- |
preme Bench, and members Of the |
Legislature. All are Of great impor-
tanee, but the election Of Geo. w. i
Click as Governor is OF transeending /
importance. II that can be achieved,
all else will follow. II we fail at the |
head Of the ticket, any Gffort at secur-
ing resubmission ct the hand Of the /
Legislature will probably be q failure.
The ofilce Of Lieut.. Governor, at this
juneture, II Of great importance. He
is the presiding officer OF the State
Senate. He appoints the committees,
and In various ways eXeTts q powerful
influence IN shaping legislation. Hon.
@. Holiday, is gentleman Of ability,
OF wide acquaintance, and ts Q fine
HIS election as
Lieut.. Governor will powerfully aid
In securing the legislation needed TO
give this State the relief from pro-
scFiptiVe legislation which Il requires.
The members Of the Army Of LibeF-
ty should also exercise . Watohful care
In the nomination Of candidates for
the Legislature. No nominee for the
House Of Senate should be supported
by the comFades who does not STAND
upon the Resubmission plat
form. A hearty support, rendered
by the candidate for Click and HOlli-
day, should Be, In every instance, the
test Of his sincerity 70 the resubmis-
sion principle. This latter condition
should, Ia every cass, Be exacted Of
the candidates for the Legislature.
No one is q consistent advocate Of re-
submission who supports Col. Martin
for Governor. The open support Of
Click and Holiday must be exacted
Of these candidates - test Of their
loyalty. -,
The department takes pleasure in
assuring the comrades, everywhere. Of
The prosperity and rapid growth Of
the Army Of Liberty. Nearly two
hundred companies are now mustered \,
Into the equalization. The mngteririg \
