The Resubmission Republicans Give it to
the Hypocrits.
In the following letter from the
executive committee Of the resubmis-
sion republicans will explain itself:
WICHITA, Kan Oct. 2S--Voters,
put the hypocrits out!-From the
Leavenworth Times. -"Three-fourths
of the officers elected by the republi-
cans of the state are men who use
Intoxicating liquors. many of them to
excess. Nine-tenths Of these drink
ing men are loud in their professions
Of concern fer the prohibitory law.
Such hypocricy as this has Disguised
honest men. This, together with the
governors bad faith with the republic
cans, has demoralized the real friends
of prohibition"
The above is what Col. Anthony, a
leading republican and a staunch
prohibitionist of long years standing,
has to say regarding Governor Lyman
U. Humphrey and his state house
clique. Truly they have Disguised
honest men! Then, why should we
republicans, who are republicans from
principle, not for Office and spoils;
business men, farmers and taxpayers,
further disgrace ourselves and our
fair state by returning them to Office!
Emboldened by $4,000 majority, the
old crowd has become stencil in the
nostrils of decent people all over
the state.
Voters, taxpayers. shall we stand
this longer? No, a thousand times
no! Next Tuesday at the polls our
state will redeem herself By the cleo
ton of "the Gladstone of Kansas,
the old war governor, Charles Robin
son. Then will the state house be
cleared of empty bottles, the books
be examined, the abuses which have
grown out of ring rule corrected, and
the affairs of the state put upon a
business basis, bring about an era OF
prosperity and clearing the way to
invite immigration to the fairest state
in the Union.
Voters, turn out on Tuesday next
and work all day at the polls for the
success of the republican resubmis-
sion ticket, and thus redeem the
state.

REPUBLICANS have been. trying to
get the democrats to put out a can
didate for county commissioner in the
first district, to oppose Mr.. Stroth-
man. They profess to be wonderfully
interested in the good Of the demo-
cratic party, aud urge that if Mr..
Strothman is elected this paper will
be knocked out of the county print
ing. 1t would be a picnic would it
not, to have good democrat in the
field in opposition to Mr.. S. so as to
divide the democratic vote and let the
republican nominee in? As to this
paper getting the county printing.
that does not cut any figure with the
people of that district; they know Mr..
Strothman to be an honest, upright
and capable man, who will fill the
Office of commissioner with Justice to
all people.

Grand Opera. November 4th.

A large crowd witnessed Maude
Granger, in ''Inherited," last night.
Miss Granger is always good, bur in
this play she seems eminently at her
best. The play in brief represents
Miss Granger as an unfortunate daugh
ter of an unfortunate mother Who died
in an insane asylum. The disease is
hereditary, and just as Miss Granger
as "Helen Carruthers," engages her
self in marriage she is informed of her
mothers terrible misfortune. ssHelen'
marries, despite the warning, and two
years after becomes violently insane,
is confined in an asylum, which, five
years later, burns to the ground and
the excitement restores her reason and
she returns home at the time her hus'
band leads her warmest friend "Alice'
to the altar, the marriage to ''Helen'
having been renounced. Separation
follows, and she and her child 90 to
her husbands fathers home, and while
there she believes her child, which is
taken Ill, dies, and in her intense grief
she poisons herself, but before dying
learns that her child is not dead, and
the scene that follows is thrilling in
deed. Miss Granger has excellent
support, each member of her company
having been selected with admirable
care.-Columbus, O., Daily Dispatch.
Miss Granger will appear in this
play at the Grand, next Tuesday eve.
