- oAAOSASAeOA thot 1OA-
mer republican administrations have
Systematically collected slush campaign
funds from this sourse, and l have
very strong suspicious that there are
certain persons presumably republi-
cans) representing themselves as popu-
lists authorized to represent the state
administration, and whom | believe
are taking advantage of the established
custom and are fleecing these iHstitu-
TONS stating that they are collecting
campaign for the peoples party. But
if such Is the case, the funds SO collec-
ted must either go into their own pock
cts OF else into the republican cam
paign fund. All such persons are OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
is no one is authorized TO collect said
funds, either by the state. administra-
lion OF peoples party state central
committee, or any other person or com
mittee for the benefit OF the peoples
party, and any lottery man or person
violating the state law of Kansas, is
either knave or fool for paying such
tribute to any person, supposing tnat
it will be used i'll the interests of the
people party, III any manner us such
tributes are not accepted and will not
oe accepted by me If paid.
And further, all such ta.ements as
you are represented as having made,
are unquali!iedly false, and made for
political purposes only.
am not surprised that you, with
your long training with former repuh-
lican administrations in such methods,
should presume that the same things
exist in the o .ulist La ty, lut such is
not the case, Mr. Troutman.
And besides, you know as member
of the last legislature, that the anti
lottery bill passed by the populist sell
ate, was messaged to the republican
house March 3rd, and was not called
up until March 11th, when it was
amended, too late for the senate to
take action thereon before adjourn
ment. 1t was largely through the i'll
:luence of Representative j. K. Cubbi-
son, of Wyantlotte county, that this
bill was delayed, amended and thereby
defeated. MIR. Cubbison was re-nOmi-
mated, no doubt, on occount of past
services in assisting prominent repub-
lican lotterymen i'll kansas City, Kan
sas. JaraUs =. L9sa.e says Mr.. Cab
bison received $4,000 for his help in
defeating this anti-lottery bill Uegate,
you know, is considered good authority
by republicans now days.. Cubbison
was re-nOminated on an anti-lottery
platform. 1t is the same old thing
over again, the people have the plat
form aEdvtlse lot:erymen have the Call
didate. -
Now, Nh. Troutman. don't you know
that the republicans have the mayor
and council of Kansas City, Kansas.
| that make the ordinances ulder " hich
the metropolitan police-system is GOV
erned!
Dent you know that the republicans
| also have the county attorney, sheriff,
| r,,-,l a O ind rp dis ,,c. i,,I,,o ,.o,,,, ~
common pleas, and finally the supreme
court of the state?
Don't you know that on the apolic;..
Lion of fifty citizens of Wyandotte
county they can have grand jury to
Investigate these lotteries, joints and
gambling dens said to exist there, il
they wish to d, so?
And don't you know that republi
leans can have everything their owl
way if they VI ish to close these lnstitu
tions?
And don't you know that when /;
populist attorney general undertook t.
close them aud arrested ii prominent
lottery man, that Il republican Judge
released him Oh Il writ of haLa
corpus?
And don't you know that almost tIlt
entire influence of the republican part,
(Which is i'll stIe majority there) i,
tsrown against the power of the police
commissioner?
AMI finally don't you know that tn,
republicans don't, want TO raid thes,
institutions because it will expos,
prominent republicans?
Then. Mr. TroutIDlH, why are no
yoi and other republicans honest, AN,
tell the people the actual facts abou
these matters? Why attempt to mis-
lead the people uf the state by cllars
ing that tie ruI u'ist state admiDistr:
ton is responsible fol Il condition o
affirs over which y"ur party official
have Il -soitte control?
