THE SISTERS MOUTH

Mrs. Lease Is Very Mad and She Dosen't Care

due to the wagging of a woman's tongue.
In her campaign for the populist ticket
Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease has done more to aid
the republican cause than all other things
combined. She is a power out here with
| the populists and it was, perhaps, her In
tluence as much as anything else that car
r1ed the ticket through two years ago.
! When the populist convention met at
Wichita she had them adopt a plank to sub
nit the question of woman's suffrage to the
people of Kansas. Then she made the re-
publican convention do the same thing.
Two years ago when she came back from
her tour through Georgia and the south
she told the farmers here that all the south
was with them for Il new party. Colonel
| Polk, Ben Terrell and other southern ALI
| ance leaders came here and told the people
| the same thing. They believed 1t and it
added to the strength of the movement, but
when the news OF the overwhelming demo-
cratic victory i'll Georgia came it threw a
damper upon the spirits of the populists.
The old republicans who had gone into the
new party commenced to sniff the air and
ask ii they were alone for the new party.
Senator PETER tried to explain by stating
that the result would be different iii Noyem-
Der when federal supervisors vera had, and
still holds that Georgia and Alabama are all
right with them, but that don / go with the
masses OF the people.
Then comes Mrs. Lease back fro" her
southern trip as mad as wet hcl she
began to cacle and scratch up the 'rt as
soon as she got within the state. ; dug
up the ensanguined garment and pr (eeded
to wave it OH IL corn stalk. 1t vast the
injury of her cause, but she was 1nal ana
Woman-likc was determined to have her say
if the heavens fell.

Of her reception she says:
