SECRET GETS OUT
GREAT CAMPAIGN DOCUMENT OF
SECRET LEAGUE MADE PUBLIC.
Voters Asked TO Secretly Work
Against John Davis Because He
Will Not Sign Pledge Which
Makes Him Declare That He
Doubts His Own Honesty.

For weeks now the Law and Order
league leaders have had wonderful
secret. They were going TO 60 something,
they said, that would simply wipe out ID
Republican candidate in Sedgwick county.
What this terrible weapon was no Que
would tell But whatever it WAS, it was
simply going to eud that Republican can
didate in Sedgwick county.
Yesterday it leaked out that this Won
derful bosom Of destruction was to be a
secret manifesto to the voters of Sedgwick
county. 1t was to be final, secret and
sealed Instructions to the whole league.
The EAGLE prints this circular la ad-
vance this morning. Every citizen IN
Wichita realizes hat the great majority of
the men who have gone into tue secret
political society," known al the Law and
Order league, are good men. upright cltl-
zens and Iaw-4biding aud law-respecting
residents of this city. But the cunning
Vaccinations of a few would-be leaders
they are being used, many without
knowledge or it, for ends which they
would resent.
The good citizens in the league are many.
They are honest in their convictions aud
they are, if the truth Were known, ready
and willing to secure the enforcement OF
the law through honest, open, frank, non
secret methods.
Many of them no doubt never have seen
this secret circular which will be put out
and which is printed today. 1t will be
seen that the circular is an attack on the
Republican candidate for county attorney.
This secret attack on him is brought on in
the interest of Mr.. Helm, and is against
John Davis, not because he is not A good
man, not because he is not a worthy man,
net because he is not an honest man, but
because he refused TO sign a pledge to a
secret Pc itical society aud turn his back
on his oath Of Office.
John Davis is clean and manly. He
simply believes that his oath of office Is
more sacred and binding than any pledge
given to secret society or organization.
He believes this coDscentiously. He be-
Heves that if he should sigu pledge to
pledge himself for something that he must
pledge himself to ia his oath of Office that
he is doub. lug his own word aud belyiug
his own honesty.
Mr.. Helm whom the league is support
lug. is the Eopulist candidt e for county
attorney, He is known to be the tool of
that corrupt boss, Chief Cone. It's known
that he cannot IN AXE "A move withou, 3 rs
Cones permission. Mr.. III I'm in whose
in crest the Law and Order league is work
ing will vote for Leweiling, under whose
administration in the year ending June
49, 1894, 5. $40 barrels of beer were sold in
Kansas as against 200 barrels the first
year of Governor Humphreys administra-
tior Q O.,O the. second wear and Obs barrels
the third year
just so surely as Mr.. Helm votes for
Lewelling just so surely if Mr.. Him il
elected will he be the creature of Boss
Cone.
The circular. which will be sent secretly
10 the favored few in Sedgwick county
sometime neg week, Is as follow:

York TO consult with the executive coun-
Gil he will remove the Federation head
quarters TO Indianapolis.
In a talk with a correspondent to-
dav Mr. Mcbride touched upon the sub

said
ssNhen say that l am a limited So
ciaIist [ only say what every citizen Of
the country must say. for we have now
limited socialism. and 1t ls simply ques-
tion of opinion how far it should extend
For instance. I believe that the govern
ment should take up and operate all
lines of transportation and take charge
of such productions a the people may
elect from time TO time That leaves the
opening broad enough to admit or eX-
clude anything.
SDeakipg Of labor SIR. Mcbride talked
entertaIningly. Il have been president
Of the United Mine Workers for three

but that is understood to be the purpose
Of the meeting.
It is also thought by the leading Popu-

the bottom Of the scheme, and he -
planning TO capture the nomination of
the new party for president in 1896.

of such a scheme and two of them were
IN Colorado.
"Chairman Taubeneck has come out
plainly with statement that he Is not In
favor of changing the PLATFORM but II he
is not he was very careless in the use or
words in his address lie has undoubt-
