to exist, and capital for monopoly
Of the esrth--the question Of su-
preme importance to the man who
would toll for his daily bread, is
which way the guns of the govern
ment are to be pointed in that con-
test. This is o question of far more
Importance to the workingman than
whether Governor Lewelling gets q
few dollars Of Doodle from Kansas
City gamblers, even if any proof had
been submitted in support of this
oft reiterated charge. II is known
which way they would be pointed
under republican and democratic ad-
ministrstions, for Cleveland has
given the country practical demon
strstion of it; and the republican
press and politicians have given his
course their most unqualified in
dorsement. It is known, too, that a
Populist administration would con-
fine ITS actions within constitutional
limitations and would not use the
powers of government to enable rich
corporations to trample laboring men
in the dust. These facts being
known, labor in all departments of
industry will stand together In the
future as it never has done IN the
past, and will see to it that human
rights are placed above vested rights
in the estimation Of the powers
chosen to rule this country. This
may be treason, but if so make the
most Of it.

THEY ARE FOB PROHIBITION THE
OTHER FELLOWS

The republican party in Kansas
has for many years posed as the only
friend Of prohibition-on paper. At
the same time republican politicians
have been notorious for their BAG
chanalian rsvels, wherever the oppor-
tunity has existed. They never hold
a political convention that special
provision is not made for unlimited
supplies of liquid refreshments,
Colonel Dan Anthony speaking Of re-
publican hypocrisy upon this queS-
ton in the LesvenWorth Times in
August, 1890, said:
We know that the ring which exists in
the state which says who shall be nomi-
mated and appointed to Office and who shall
not, are Indifferent to the enforcement Of
this law. We are aware Of the fact that
this ring makes use Of that law and only
outWardly supports il insofar as 1t seems
necessary for them 10 do and retain control
Of the party. We have been in Topeka
when these leading republicans and state
officials have been engaged in drunken car
nivals in private rooms, at the hotels Of the
city. In some instances their condition
was such that they were unable TO return to
their homes until sufficient time had
elapsed for them to sober up.
When the republican house was
barricRded in the house OF represen-
tatives here during the legislative
controversy of 1893 it was a mere
mob Of drunken roWdies. This is q
notorious fact known to all who cared
to know it But it is to q still later
occurrence that we designed partic.
ulsrly to call attention at this time.
The congressional convention at
Phillipsburg which nominated A. II.
Ellis for congress in the Sixth dis
trict this year was probably a little
the most disgraceful assembly Of po-
lltiCal shysterS that has taken place
in the state in recent years. The
headquarters were established at the
Bissell house, and the liquids fur

THE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN OF SLAM
DER.

congratulated itself by the statement
that Chairman Breidenthsl and the
Peoples party had been forced into
defensive campaign. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. While
the sole effort of the republican man
ayers has been to scatter malicious
charges against Populist officials and
employees, as a matter Of fact neither
Mr.. Breithenthal nor the Populist
press or speakers have paid any con-
siderable amount of attention to
them. Nor are the people demand
ing attention 10 this stuff. The An
vocATE has already received several
letters from subscribers protest
ing against the use of so much space
in exposing the falsehoods and vile
ISLANDERS of the Capital. Our readers
prefer that we fill our columns with
intelligent discussions Of the living.
issues Of the day. It is doubtful if
q single inquiry would arise from
any part Of the state concerning the
truth or falsehood of any Of the
stories upon which the republican
party is relying as upon a forlorn
hope for success in this campaign if
our papers and speakers should re-
main absolutely silent concerning
them.
tits very different now from what
il was in 1890. Then whenever a
fake story appeared in the Capital
we would be literally buried under
an avalanche Of private inquiries re-
specting it's truth. The people un'
derstand the game now and they
care absolutely nothing about these
stories. The only letters we have re-
celved this year respecting them have
been in protest Of the use Of valuable
space in the ADVOCATE to disprove
what nobody believes or cares for.
Wshave talked upon this subject
with several of our speakers who
have been out in various parts Of the
state and they say this is the feeling
everywhere. One speaker made an
allusion to the Doodle stories, and
said he presumed his audience would
like to hear msthing about them.
Thersupon came up from the crowd
such q tumultuous no that the
speaker himself was somewhat con-
fused. He was not expecting SO
unanimous an expression against the
use Of his time upon these frivolous
questions. The people did not wish
to hear a word upon the subject but
demanded q speech upon the ques.
tions involved in the Populist plat
forms; and it is needless to say they
got il.
It is we'll understood that the re-
publican managers have no prlnCi-
pies to make a campaign on and that
the kind of campaign they are con-
ducting was deliberately planned at
the beginning just as it was in 1890,

then? It may be said that the OK

that the administration of public in
