it becomes necessary for every true Re-
publican and lover of Kansas 10 make an
Individual and personal effort to defeat
the present corrupt administration of

In order to do this it will be necessary
to expose the rOttenness of the Lewelling
administration, and keep the following
facts before the people: Preserve Pete
kline's letter and dwellings name
prominently connected with the gambling
and bOodIing element of Kansas City and
other cities in the state. Criticise the
Pitcher outrages at Winfield, and insist
that the mutllations are not scientific and
without precedent; insist that the

and all the charitable institutions ia in
competent and corrupt Charge Level
ling with the non enforcement of the
prohibitory law, and assure its friends
that Morrill, viii enforce If, well as

If there are any Democrats in your
community whom you cannot influence
to vote our ticket. insist that they main
tain their political integrity by voting
for David Overmyer. vote for him

Secretary Bristow of the Republican

ITS CLUTCHES.
How the Sugar Trust Has Our
Dealers by the Neck.
The BOYCOTT AND The BLACKLIST

Enforced by This 1nstItutfOn That ts
Superior to the Laws and Also 10
Congress
The wholesale grocers of Topeka as
well as some other places, are under the
thumb of the managers of the sugar
trust.
This great corporation not only con
trolls the congress of the United States,
as we have seen this past summer, but it
dictates terms to every wholesale grocer
and jobber in the country and says who
shall and who shall not sell sugar.
Topeka jobber said to a STATE
JOURNAL reporter today:
before a wholesale grocer can pur-
chase sugar from refinery, he must en-
ter into a contract not to sell sugar below
a certain price fixed by the sugar trust
and must put up a forfeiture as a guar
anty that he will keep his contract II d
jobber violates this contract. and cuts the
price on sugar he not only loses his
forfeiture, but his supply Of sugar is cut
off
IF a travelling man cuts the price of
sugar, he is fined $780, loses his job and
is blacklisted so that it is impossible for
him to get another job. That is. this is
what happens if the house he is working
for is doing business on the square. if
any of our men should cut the price on
sugar LQdL Is what WOuIQ happen
A Topeka grocery house that has
considerable jobbing trade along with It's
retail business. does not sell any sugar
except at retail. A man connected with
this house said: ave can't buy any sugar
from the refneries. No matter if we
should send in an order for fifty car loads
accompanied with check for the entire
amount of the purchase, our order would
not be filed. The trust in its contracts
with the wholesale grocers and general
jobbers fixes their profits at a certain fig
IRE below which not d jObber in the
country dares to sell
"In connection with this contract the
trust agrees and lives up to its agree
ment NOT to sell a pound of sugar to any
retailer. The trust fixes the price on
sugar, and the iobber is allowed 20 make
one-eight of cent d pound profit"
The trust still allows the jobbers to sell
sugar at a price low enough for the
taller to furnish the consumer eighteen
and nineteen pounds of granulated sweet
ening for dollar.

HE ANSWERS AT LAST.
Attorney General Little Replies to
the Pete Kline Letter.
DEFIES KLINE TO PROVE ANYTHING.


The Attorney General DenOunce@ Him
a Character Assassin
Attorney General John r. Little has
prepared long statement in which he
makes formal denial Of all the charges
of Doodle made against him BY Pete
Kline, Steve Sharpe and Nels Acers.
General Little quotes the affidavit made
by Kline before the senate invesdga
committee to prove the falsity
of the charges and then says:
Il demand that Pete Kline disclose the
name Of the person by whom he sent the
money to me, and I demand that the
person by whom Pete Kline sent the
money come forward and make it known,
and 1 denounce the whole outfit as a set
of character assassins, thieves aud vii
lIans, whom, when they are selling their
false statements know ssit is weighing
out SO many pieces of silver against so
many ounces of blood As far "a Steve
Sharp is concerned, L never interceded
for his appointment with Governor Lew

or conversation with him at the Blossom
House or elsewhere concerning the pay
ment of 81 800 or any other sum.

and unqualifdley false. Some eight

with him either directly Or Indirectly,
concerning Pete Kline, or any of Pete
Kline's business. and any statement
which he makes connecting me with his
and Pete Kline's business, is Wilt ully
and premeditatedly false.
"About two weeks ago Fred Close
came to me and told me that Nels Acers
had prepared a statement which, if he
could not sell to US, he was going to sell
to the Republicans. / told Fred Close
to inform Nels Acers that I would not
give him one nickel for anything that
he had to sell; that if he had prepared
a statement against me. concerning the
Pete Kline business, he was at lib

central committee if he wanted to. 1
wish to say that the man undertaking to
connect me with Pete Kline'5 business,
or who states that I ever had anything to
do with Pete Kline or his business, is no
better than a midnight assassin. The in

Hill and Cady Lead the Democratic Party
In Two States.
Lieutenant Governor Ernest Cady
and Ex-Governor and Senator David
Bennett Hill are very much in evidence
just now, as they say in Paris, being
Democratic candidates for the govern
orship OF Connecticut and New York
respectively. Senator Hill has already
filed the office he aspires to for seven
years, and Mr.. Cady has been lieuten-
ant governor for two years. The latter
is most prominent in business, as the
former is in politics.
Ernest Cady was borL Sept 9, 1842,
at Stafford, in Tolland county, Conn.
His father died when he was years
old, and thereafter he earned his own
living by working ON the farm and in
the factory, gaining an education by at
tending the winter terms Of district
school. In August, 1861, he enlisted in
the navy and served under Farragut; re-

Or Is 1t Because His Farm Duties Are

Farmer A. W. Smith of Mcpherson.
who two years ago was the candidate of
his party for governor, is not making
many Republican speeches in the pres
emit caNn paign-
Prior to this week he had made but
two speeches, one at WestmoreIand and
one at JetmOre, and including a meeting
at Arkansas City Tuesday he has lust
four more dates during the campaign,
the others being at COncordia October IT.
bingham October Is and Pratt Oc-
tober 20.
The inactivity of Farmer Smith has
been the subject Of much discussion in
Republican circles. The state central
committee official who makes the dates
for the Republican speakers says early
in the campaign they made several dates
for Farmer Smith. but at the last minute
when it was too late to send any other
speaker to take his place, he wired the
committee that he could not keep his ap
pointments, and requested the committee
not to make any more dates for him with
out first consulting him. He gave as an
excuse that he is com PEELED to do his own
farming this year and has been putting
in his own crop of wheat by himself
Farmer Smith told a friend at the Nc
Kinley meeting at Hutchison, that of
the four meetings arranged for him he
had made three OF the dates himself and
tho committee had billed him for one
meeting. He said the reason he had
made the three dates for himself was
that the local committee where he was to
speak had applied to the state central
committee for him. but the committee
wanted to send some other speaker
A Topeka man who is we'll acquainted
with Farmer Smith says the facts of the
matter are that Farmer Smith is a poor
man and can't afford to run around dur
ing the campaign to the neglect of his
farm and personal business, and that the
payment of his expenses while campaign
ing is not suffic Gent remuneration for the
loss of his time On the other hand It is
said however. that Farmer Smiths farm
duties didn't interfere with his campaign
work to any great extent two years ago.

PULLED OUT THE SPIKES.
Attempt Made to Wreck an East Bound

AtteInpt Made to WrecI< East Bound
Santa Fe Train Near Denver
DENVER, Oct. 11.--Soon after midnight
a bold attempt was made seven miles
south of Denver to wreck an east bound
Santa Fe passenger train for the purpose
Of robbery, it is believed. Spikes were
pulled from rails and the engine, bag
gage car, coach, chair car and sleeper
ran off the track.
The damage was trif1ing and no one
was hurt. but the track will be blocked
five hours. The ground for the robbery
theory is that man called At the South
Denver yard in the night and intimated
that the train was to be wrecked and
robbed. Orders we're given for it to pro-
coed slowly but it was not supposed that
the attempt would be so near the city
and the train was running at a speed Of
eight miles an hour.
