POPULIsT GOVERNOR INAUGURATED.
TOPEKA (Kas.), Jan. 9.-The triumph
OF the Populists of Kansas, made possi-
bic at the polls in November, was
fulfilled to-day. The ceremony took
place in the hall of the House Of Repre-
sentatives, and was witnessed by proba-
bly, the greatest crowd ever assembled in
Kansas on a similar occasion. Precisely
al noon the old and new officers appeared
and took seats at the right Of the stand.
AT 1910, John w. Breidenthal, Chairman
of the Peoples Party State Central Com
mittee, and Master Of Ceremonies, intro
duced Rev. w. Todd, who invoked di-
vine blessing. Then Governor Humph-
rey spoke briefly, congratulating his sue
cessor.
When Governor Lewelling appeared the
first hearty demonstration of the occasion
was shown. In his address, he said in
part: 1.-The survival of the fittest is the
government of brutes and reptiles, and
such philosophy must give place to a
Government which has recognized hu-
man brotherhood to protect the rights of
the laborer and producer. Sectional
animosity should be forgotten.
The State is greater than the
party, but the citizens are greater than
the State. While the family the citizen
produces is the priceless jewel Of our
civilization, the problem now is to make
it possible for citizens to live by their
own labor. If it fails of these things, it
ceases to be ofadvantage to citizens. He
is absolved from his allegiance, and is no
longer held by a civil compact. But the
Government is not a failure. This gem
Grafton has come to the rescue. Con
science is IN the saddle and the grandeur
OF civilization shall be emphasized by the
dawn OF a new era, in which the people
shall reign, when the withered hand of
want shall be outstretched for charity,
when liberty, equality and justice shall
have permanent abiding places in this
republic"
The oath of Office was then admins
tered by Chief Justice Horton.
