TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 2O.-Politicians
are looking forward to the meeting of
the German-American league, of Kan
| sas, "a Salina September 4, with much
| interest. There are 10000 German
voters in this state and it is the inten-
ton to throw their entire strength to
| the party that best represents their
! views in state issues. The league has a
complete organization in siXty-siX of
| the 1O5 counties in the state. While
its officers all decline to state what
the league will do in the pending cam
paign. it is well known that they are
opposed to the republican party be-
cause it has championed prohibition.
They cannot support the populist tick
ct because the platform of that party
declares for female suffrage. The
| platform adopted by the state league
at its meeting in Topeka last June
most clearly expresses the sentiments
of the Germans OF Kansas
