Among other things she says:
In some Of our largest cities this
year IL fell out that there Was at
hand no Republican candidate who
could beat the Objectionable Repub-

female, helped to elect the Demo-
cratic nominee. In these cities u
was the first time In years that the
Democrats had had . ghost of Q
chance, aud they accepted RepubIi-
can help most graciOusly, forgot
their unbellef In the doctrine Of
woman suffrage, aud gave their
wives permission to advance to the
ballot box, aud thus aided In these
cities, that h as much power ~ the

The CROP OTTLOOK.

The copious rains reported In all
sections Of the state bring to Secre-
tary Mohler, Of the State Board Of
Agriculture, glowing prospects, for q
bOuntiIul harvest OF wheat, and IN
assurance Of the largest yield Of corn
ever produced In any state OF the
union. In previous years many
sections Of the state have suffered
for lack Of rainfall, while others
have been visited with eOpiOus
showers, sufficient TO produce aver
age crops, hut this year not q single
county has reported an insufficient
rainfall, and In no section Of the
state are the growing crops reported
In bad condition. Surely the people
of kshsas are To be congratulated
ON the splendid prosperity in store
for them.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, May I


topeka, KANSAS, May 13.
The people Of Kansas will remem-
Der that w. p. Tomlinson, editor Of
the Democrat Of this city, spent sew
eral weeks In New Hampshire and
Massachusetts recently speaking
against the adoption of prohlbitoTy
amendments In those states. He
declared from the stump aud In
newspaper interviews that the pro-
hibitory Law In Kansas was \ failure,
that the people were hypOcritss and
that more liquors were nov cold
and drank I'm this state than II open
saloons were running. He declared
that there were dozens OF places In
Topeka where liquors were openly
sold aud that drunkenness prevailed
To an alarming degree. The press Of
Kansas branded these statements as
UNANIMOUSLY false and damaging to
the state, and denounced o man who
would thus seek to blaeken the
name Of his state In the interest OF Q
traffic that degrades, debauehes
and demOralIzes. Mr.. TomlinsOn
returned to Topeka recently rejoice
ing In the fact that he had aided In
defeating prohibition In New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts,. The oilicl-
ais Of Topeka and Shawnee county
DESTROYS Of Kidding this community

II there were any, thought 10 proper
to secure from Mr.. TOmllns0n any
evidence In his possession. He had
told the people Of Boston that
dives aud "IOints" by the hun.
dred run openly and without hin
drance in the capitol city Of Kansas.
So County Attorney Il. b. weleh
summoned that gentleman TO appear
before him and give evidence under
oath ~ TO the location Of these |
places he knew so much about. The |
following taken from evidence as
filed last Saturday with the clerk Of |
the district court needs no further |
