| The ReSubmissionist yellS with one
breath that prohibition does not prohibit,
and the next breath howls with rage

brought into play and prohibition Is
made to prohibit. Verify consistency is

A controlling minority of the Repub
licans of Sedgwick and several other
counties care more for resubmission than
they do for any other measure that can
be proposed. A controlling minority of
prohibition RepublicansIwill not consent
to swap prohibition for anything the
party can offer them.-Leon Indicator.

We can't understand why consistent
prohibitlonist who believes that the law
meets with the approval OF majority in
the state, should make such frantic
war on the resubmission movement
Because man is in favor of resubmis-
sion, it does not necessarily follow that
he is an advocate of the saloon.-Pratt
Republican,
The Leavenworth Times is a very
adroit dodger, seeing the resubmission-
lists are ahead it advocates revision of
the constitution! The Times is informed
that no ''cheat game" will be PLAYED to
success this time. 1t worked well in the
first campaign for Martin, but the people
have learned much since then.-Con-
cordia Blade.
Ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn said
yesterday to the editor of The Sun that
resubmission was bound to come for the
people would demand it. No fair
minded person could object logically
why the question should not be voted
upon and those who do object are actu-
ated by selfish political reasons.-Leav-
enworth Sun.
There is no call for third party agita-
ton. If prohibition is to remain a part
of Kansas beneficent code, the Republi-
can party is to keep it there. Let the
neutrality-suspicious. carefully con-
slider the situation, and they will appre-
ciate the cunning of the democracy in
working the resubmission game.-Law-
renee Joarnal.
How comes it that the Wichita EAGLE |
and the Hutchinson News come out so |
the former for resubmission, |
the latter against, in their recent issues? |

hypocrisy?-Lyons Tribune.
If Marsh Murdoch is half the man we |
take him to be, he hates the whisky |
crowd that is running Wichita worse
than he hates a rattlesnake, and we pre-
dict that one of these days, like Governor
Martin, in Atchison, and r. ID. Anthony
in Leavenworth, and other original anti
ProhibitiOnists all over the state, he will
be among the most ardent and active adj
vocates of the law.-Marion Record.
AS for the EAGLES denying that it is
Democratic move, the question rises
about party. OF course the Democratic
party is in favor of resubmission. Good
and thoughtful men of all parties ought
to be in favor of it. 1t affects all the
people of the state. 1t is an old man OF
The sea on the back of prosperity and
progress, whom everybody should lend a
hand to help cast off.-Atchison Patriot.
No prohibitionist wants to suppress the
will of rightful majority, nor is he OPP
posed to proper methods of ascertaining
his will. In fact, many of the most in
elligent and thoughtful prohibitionists
believe it wise to settle the matter for all
line through the medium of constitu-
ional Convention, where It will be in
! large part divorced from naeddiing poll
icians.- Winfield Courier.
