THE PROHlBITloNlSTS

The PrOhlbitiOniStS of Kansas met
at Topeka last week and put ticket
in the field, the personnel of which
appears on our inside pages. Rev. j.
d. BOtkin, pastor Of the VI. E. church
Of this city and Prohibition candidate
for governor in 1888, was chairman Of
the convention. His remarks on TAX
ing the chair were pointed and we re-
produce them from the Topeka Capt.
tai:
First, he asserted that President
Harrison began his administration
with debauch and it had continued
ever since, as wines and liquors were
always served at the White house din
nerS. He said the whole country was
ashamed of Vice President MOrtOn'S
saloon in the ShOreham, and severely
criticized Secretary Blaine'S letter So
liciting information in behalf Of the
brewers regarding the beer trade in
the Spanish American countries. lie
said Secretary Blaine had prOStituted
the Office of secretary OF state to the
level of a beer drummer. In the
words Of eX-Secretary of State Viii
liam Window, We say the solution
of the liquor question is next on the
worlds calendar Of progress" The
speaker then read the declaration Of
the national convention on the liquor
question, and quoted an editorial
from Brewers Journal to show that
the brewers themselves had taken a
stronger stand in favor of temperance
than the Republican party.
Nh BOtkin criticized Governor
Humphrey, the judge of the Sedgwick
county district court. the county at
tOfney Of Sedgwick county and the
police commissioners Of Wichita, who
he said were in league with the Joint
keepers and were guilty Of perjury in
not enforcing the laws which they
had taken an oath to enforce. He
said the district court Of SedgWick
county was refuge for jOintiStS, and
that the county attorney, though IA
Methodist in name was doing nothing
to close the joints.
Mr.. BOtkin took up the Republican
state platform and attempted to show
that the plank declaring for the pro-
hibitOry law was a Straddle. He read
letters written to the Capital by
George L. Douglass, a Wichita resub-
miSSiOnist, and D. G. Milner, Man
haitian PrOhibitiOnist, endorsing the
plank. The policy of the Republican
leaders of Kansas, he said, was to
wear out the people of Kansas on the
prohibition question until the Repub-
licans of Kansas were in harmony
with the Republicans of the nation.
He closed with another dig at Gov
ernOr Humphrey, and said that the
nomination of Governor Humphrey
for congress by the Republicans
would be enough to drive him out of
the Republican party, if there was
nothing else.
