! F4rmer that he is in the field and gives

The Advocate calls upon Senator Buchan
TO make good his claims that Ingalls, will
be reelected. and asks him to name the
men who will vote for the senator. This
demand was shown Mr.. Buchan, who said:
This is equal to the demand made by Mr..
Chase for my election returns | am not
running an information bureau for the AL
lance. There is no question as to the
election of Ingalls,. Some Republicans
have been faint-hearted, but with the re-
cent revelations made them they now own
that my claims were made upon good
foundations. j have been resting easy and
have not seen the necessity of cleaning in
formation for the enemy. They viii dis
cover soon enough that even with their
secret vote in the sub-Alliance upon the
senatorship that the people of Kansas, or
the Republican portion, viii have some
about buying votes is bosh. We do not
need TO buy votes We only take what is
given us, which will give us some to spare. :"
Chairman Chase of the Alliance COM
mittee. is in favor of resubmission. Upon
the subject he said:
II am decidedly in favor of the resub-
mission of the prohihitory amendments to
vote of the people. When the amendment
was voted for by the people it was an eX-
pertinent. For ten years it has been i'll
force, and we know now, by experience,
what its workings are, and the people
should be able to tell by this time whether
they are satisfied with it or not. Every
two years this is made an issue and the re-
suit is that it Is an ever disturbing element
in the politics of the state. Other and
more important matters are lost sight of
in its discussion, and measures which the
majority of the people have favored have
been defeated because of party lines being
closely drawn on the prohibition issue.
There is a large element in the state
which favors the repeal of the amendment,
and 1t Is no more than right that IL should
be given a chance 10 measure its strength
with its opponents. Notwithstanding the
fact that favor the resubmission of this
question | am, and always have been, a
prOhibiUioDiSt and shall vote against the
repeal of the amendment. Before it is re-
submitted believe the Australian ballot
system should be adopted and put in
force. so that every voter can cast his bal
lot as his conscience dictates without be-
ing hampered in the slightest degree by
outside influences 1t is no more than
simple justice that the people should be
given an opportunity tOeXpresS themselves
on this question and Sc, tie it for all time
TO come"
There are two men who are anxious to

G. II. Lovejoy of Baldwin, who is pushing
his claims upon both Republican and Ali
ance men. and the Rev. b. +. Foster, the
colored preacher, who made the run on the
Peoples ticket for state auditor and feels
that he is entitled to some consideration at
the hands of his party. Foster will claim
the support of Alliance members and un-
less some other tried member of the party
