joined to her joints. let her alone.
| Kansas City Star: In the hide-and-go-
| seek game at Wichita, Bill Campbell
| seems TO be ''it.'

here for?' frartically enquiries the Wich-
| ita Eagle. That is just what Governor
| Morrill, proposes to find out.
Kansas City Journal: There is one
consolation for Wichita The prohibit
! ton law can't prevent the corn from
growing in its plated additions.
Atehison Globe: What do the people
| of Wichita want? The mortgage on her
| Y. II. c. A. is being foreclosed, and her
saloon keepers driven out of business.
| Emporia Republican; The occupation
| OF Emporia is entirely peaceful General
| Hughes is in command and he won't shoot,
! as Mr.. Lewelling of Wichita, will testify.
| Guthrie Capital: There is too much
| talk between drinks between Wicnita
and Topeka, to suit an average citizen.
Each is trying to ''con' -tne other to
| make flash.
! Atchison Globe: The Prohibitionists
made a mistake in stirring up Marsh
| Murdcck OF the Wichita Mr.. Murdoch
| is red-headed. and refuses to let go OF his
! end of the rag.
Topeka Press The mean. mean man Of
! the Abilene Reflector has suggested for
| ties on red field with the motto, We'll
Boss Ourselves"
Ashland Journal: There is another
/ side TO the whisky war in Wichita Mer-
! chants that formerly run double-coiumn
| ads in the Eagle now use a four-inch
| single column space.
/ Topeka Mail: Simon Greenspen is BOOM
! ing Colonel Marsh Murdoch of the Wichita
| Eagle. for governor. He says Murdoch
would sweep the state and be elected by
at least 5000 majority.
Duncan Banner: The latest slang. in
vented for the new woman" up in Kan
sas, is: Now we cackle." II is thought
that Murdoch, of the Wichita Eagle. is the
daddy Of the new phrase.
Kansas City Gazette: The reform bus
mess at Wichita has reached such 4 pitch
that one of the police commissioners We
hemently asserted that no damned in
fdel should have his vote"
Lawrence Journal: Several newspapers
in the state have started a gubernatorial
boom for the editor of the Wichita Eagle,
and Murdoch manifeSts not the slightest
disposition 10 get out OF the way of il.
Kansas City Journal: The assistant
attorney general at Wichita reports that
the joints are now ''rooSting high" The
average Wichita man, however, doesn't
mind climbing a flight of stairs to irri-
gate.
Kansas City Gazette: The petition OF
metropolitan police of that city set aside
and place the department in control of the
city council, will give the governor a
chance to squat again.
Kansas City Journal: Mrs. Leases says
she isn't going to die until Colonel Marsh
Murdoch is made governor of Kansas.
Colonel Murdoch doesn't want to be gov
ernor but it may be that he will have TO
sacrifice his personal preferences in the
matter.
Marion Record: To read the daily
screams of the Wichita Eagle and be in
fiuenced by them, one would conclude that
that town depended alone for its ex-
isterce upon whisky. We don't believe
it. We believe Wichita is big enough
and old enough to subsiSt without the
Atchison Globe: Wichita is terribly
sour on Governor Morrill,. James r.
Hallowell of Wichita, is quoted as say
ing that Governor Morrill, is working the
old soldier gag to death; that all he did
during the war was to hand out sour
crackers and bad meat to the boys who
did the fighting.
Lawrence Journal: The new police
board at Wichita has cut off the head
of Police Judge Hatton. Hatton is the
Republican nominee for district judge.
On the police board there is but one Re-
publican. Anyone who can put one and
one together can figure this problem out
while the opposition figures the Republic
can candidates out,
Atchison Globe: There is not a man Of
fairness or common sense in Kansas who
approves of the fight now being made on
Wichita. The letters in the Kansas City
papers abusing Wichita are simply dis
graceful, coming from Kansas people.
But let the fight go on: 1t is killing pro-
hibition more effectually than anything
else could do.
Lawrence Journal: The Wichita fight
will probably lose a state senator to the
Republican party. and the district judge
ship is also in doubt. The enemy is
taking every advantage of the i'll feeling
among Republicans, and seems to be
Solidly united. 1t take Kansas Republi
cans a long time to learn some things
that they ought to know by intuition
Wyandotte Herald: Assistant Attorney
General Campbell, Of Sedgwick county,
is not meeting with any marked degree
of success in enforcing the prohibitory
law in Wichita. If the governor is right
in saying the law cannot be enforced in
communities where public sentiment is
opposed to IL, he is foolish to try the eX-
pertinent in Wichita.
Cheney Journal: Charles Hatton, the
present nominee of the Republican party
of Sedgwick county for district judge.
has been turned down by the police COM
missionerS of Wichita, and ex-SQuire
Tucker appointed as police judge in his
place Just why the board-through the
influence of the Law and Order league
should appoint a blatant infield TO fill so
important a position Is beyond lne ken
of the average human intellect.
Atchison Globe: Governor Morrill, has
appointed Marsh Murdoch as a delegate
to the deep water convention in Topeka,
October !. There is less sense in the
deep water convention than in the militia
reunions the state makes an appropriation
for. Murdoch will regard the appoint
ment as an insult. Murdoch is a busy
man, and to invite him to neglect his
work to patrontze the boarding houses OF
Topeka is not at all complimentary.
Newton Kansan: About the only Diff
ference between Topeka and Wichita with
reference to the sale of beer and whisky
is that in the former the sales are made |
by druggists to men who perjure them |
selves or by the bootlegging porters OF
hotels who furnish IL in the rooms of
the guests. while al Wichita they are !
made in open defiance of the law. If
any honor attaches 20 either plan OF |
violating the law it rests upon Wichita
Atchason Globe: Judge Hatton, the |
police judge removed at Wichita for in |
sisting on trying the liquor cases accord !
ing to law. IS the regular Republican nom |
inae for judge OF the district court. Tuck |
er. who succeeds Hatton. was a candidate |
for the same place. but did not receive a |
single vote. Tiger BIZ Campbell also |
