THE CONSEQUENCE.
And now, after reading the above
full synopsis of the bill, will it not oc
cur to every reasonable mind that TIT
provisions of this latest enactment are
so harsh and unbending as to caus,
people to hate the law and that it can
not be enforced for this very reason?
In 1882 the people were SO disguised
with st. John and the measures anS
schemes that his followers advocated
that they elected straight democrat {,
take his place. The two years of Gov
Clicks administration were proseerOu
and satisfactory, and people believe,
that the obnoxious features of prohibi
ton were buried. So well satisfied wer,
they that the experiment of trying an
other republican was adopted. Not
withstanding many wise heads coun
selled against the election of Col. Mar
TIN, they believing that he would prov
a prOhibitiOnist in the end, he ha,
enough votes and to spare, AMI prompt
ly affixed his name to the very first en-
actment of prohibition.
Republicans, behold your governor
Governor, behold your constituents
And mark it now, the next governor o
Kansas will not be named John A
Martin. But thanks to the Kansas leg
! islature, on one score at least, he wi
be democrat.
