Anthony are neither Republicans nor

any more than they can comprehend
that the question Of the freedom

every question now at issue between the

can for Miss Anthony. and l say for her
that she stands ready to speak in any
and every political party meeting in
Kansas during the month of OctO ber-not
excepting those of the Democratic party.
Indeed she would greatly prefer to
preach the gospel Of equal rights to
women to Democratic audiences, be-
cause it is moro needed there, where
their party leaders have so emphatically
declared against the great principle of
equal rights to ALL
'sAs yet she has received no invitation
from any of the state committees save
that Of the Peoples party. What she
most wishes is to get the word spoken
before the voters, and as the rank and
file of them attend only the meetings Of
their respective political parties she
hopes each and every campaign speaker
man and WOman=Wi1 remember not
to forget to advocate the amendment.
Our one hope Of carrying It lies in the
educational work done in the political
campaign meetings of the different par
ties of the state during the months of
September and October. So l pray the
friends everywhere-Of all parties-tO
demand of their speakers and orators
that they advocate the amendment and
urge every true and loyal man to vote
for it and so help to establish IN Kansas

ing. They were Dennis Campbell and

men, the former in for selling liquor and
Halford for burglary.
Campbell had served about seventy
five days Of his time and had been a
trusty for nearly a week. About z o'clock
he left the office and never came back.
About the same time Halford left the
jail with bucket in his hand, saying he
was going into the yard He also failed
to show up at bedtime.
There appears to be little doubt that
the escape was pre- arranged scheme
between the two prisoners. Their good
behavior heretofore had tended to throw
the jailer of his guard The sheriff is
looking for Campbell and Halford, but is
satisfied that they got out Of town before
the real nature of their absence was dis
covered
Not long ago Campbell made an effort
to get out of the county jail through the
