MISREPRESENTATION.


for Corporations and Monopiiies.-
The Masses the Beneficfarfes OF
Republican Rule.
The little fellows who have been deal
ing out populist doctrines have had
much to say about the state Legislature
having been managed by the corpora
tions and trusts. It can safely be said
that since the organization of Kansas as
q state there has not been a single law
passed in the interest of corporations,
railroad or otherwise. A hasty search
of the session laws, commencing with
1870, shows that there has been con-
stantlv in the minds of the members OF
the legislature desire to benefit the
masses and to give them all the legal
protection possible.
Legislation has been a constant bat
tie in the interest of the weak, and for
the benefit of the laboring and indus
trial classes. The rich and the power
full have everywhere been hedged
about with restrictions that have
prevented them taking advantage OF
their humber but no less worthy breth-
rem.
The present campaign is for the
avowed purpose of continuing the bened-
cent work of republicans. Alarmed at
the time devoted to visionary schemes
by the last alliance house, led as it was
by unprincipled demagogues, many OF
whom were Aordid and covetous men,
democrats desiring the return of conf
dence in Kansas are refusing to support
the wild-ideal leaders at the behest OF
the Click Martin clique.
The following are a few only OF the
wise measures enacted by republicans,
presenting valid reasons for the con-
tinuance in power of that party. These
laws speak volumes for the honest
purposes of the men who have hereto
fore been elected to legislate for the
state. Their work has been wisely done,
and this year the honest people OF Kan
sas will repudiate those who seek to
tear down society in order that anarchy
may reign. Commencing with the ses-
sion laws of 1870, as far back as they
are in print, the following incomplete
