ANTHONY, LIKE BANQUO's GHOsTIWILI
NOT DOWN.

/ by Colonel IL. IN. Anthony, iB having
great uses nowadaWA in lbs most able
and effective expose OF tie general
worthlessness Of republican prohibi-
tion in Kansas, as exemplifed by ita
magnates, who are now holding high
official places, and who are asking 10
be continued therein. The relation
of Governor Lyman U. Humphrey
and Of Secretary OF State Higgins Ia
the metropolitan police commission
OF Leavenworth, as shown, by the
Times, especially in relation to the
most pitiful petifogging on this mat
tor by the Topeka Capital is por'
trayed in the following:
Mr.. Higgins, the agent Of the governor, made
no effort 10 secure the Views OF the prohibition
lists Of the city.
The Topeka Capital says that johnson and
Weed we're recommended by "many OF The
strOnges In LeavenWOrth" Name
Just one prohibitlOnIst who recommended thii
board Joe Hudson, name Just one or confess
by your silence that you have lied 10 shield yOul
tool, the governor.
The Capital says
1.-THE intention OF the governor In making
new appointments for LeavenwOrth, 80 Tar al
the republican members OF the board we're con
Cerned, WAS TO designate men who are known
and recognized by the people generally as pro
hibltOnists."
Then why In the world didn't no get the Opn
lon Of the prOhlbltiOnists Of the city as TO whom
he should appoint? Why didn't no appoint the
men recommended by Rev. Embree the one
prohibitlOnist who was COnsulted2 Why did he
appoint two men who we're recommended by
the resubmisslonigts? Answer these questions,
Joe Hudson, or confess that you have lied Ia
screen the governor.
The Capital and the Kansas City Globe deny
that Bin Higgins teegraphed the news 10 Fred
Willard, secretary Of the resubmlssOn club, and
10 Tom Glacominl, OF the DelmOnlcO hotel. Bill
Higgins came clear 10 LeavenwOrth 10 deny that
he had sent these kilograms and the friends Of
the governor had the managers Of the telegraph
offices Mt Topeka deny chat such kilograms were
sent
Tom GiaOomlni says he got chat telegram on
Sunday and showed II 10 number Of persons.
Fred Willard says that he got telegram on
Sunday from Bill Higgins telling him o the ap.
polntments and chat he replied 10 tho telegram.
II is understood that In his reply Mr.. Willard
asked Mr.. Higgins 10 assist him In securing the
Office of city marshal
The friends Of the governor make great mis-
take In stirring this matter up. The more II Ia
stirred up the worse II will stink. We predict
that In q day or two theywlll be mum as mlceCon-
Cerning it, and will be trying to forgetlt There
Is no doubt that the governor made square
deal with the resubmlssiOnsts. Our readers are
familiar with Bill Higgins negotiations In this
city last week. VIM. Booth has said In the hear
Ing OF several parties that he was in Topeka
when the appointments we're made that no rec
commended that three TesubmlsslOnisis be ap-
pointed, and that tho governor agreed 1Dtth him
that that should DO done. Two TesubmlsslOnlstT
were appointed
The Kansas City Star, which has
idolatrOusly followed Governor Hum
phrey through thick and thin, has
seemingly concluded that the case is
reached, where it is ''the last feather
that has broken the cameps back"
and thus it speaks:
wEAWNRsa Ann DEsRRTION OF THE pprNCr.
PLIES OF THE PARTY.
The appointment OF new board Of police
commissioners at LeavenwOrth looks good deal
like a trade with the resumbmisslOnists. Cover
nor Humphrey seems TO have made the mistake
Of swapping horses In the middle Of the stream.
His action in this matter is an exhibition Of
weakness which viii sOrely disappolnt many Of
hln RInnhn All OF Tho rnnrrnhnrn Of Ahn nnur hnnr
