INGALLS,. BAKER PEPPER.

From present appearances il seems
that Kansas will be asked 10 choose
next year between two men for the
United States senate. Ingalls, will
probably be one of these men. 1t is
almost sure that Senator PETER will be
the other
Suppose you, an anti-Prohibitionist,
either Republican or Democratic, vote
! for the Populist ticket this fall. Sup
pose you put those nominees in Office.
Suppose you turn down the Republi-
cans who have championed resubmis-
sion for years and put in office that
outfit that last year was licking the
feet Of the Law and Order league to-
gether with Mr.. Helm, their candidate
for county attorney. What will the
men you put in office be doing next
year: Standing by that old spouting
rantakerous Prohibitionist, PETER, for
the United States senate What else
will they be doing? Fighting John J.
ingalls, bitterly, rancorously, desper-
ately. Why? Because John ]. In
L
hibition is fraud and a farce.
PETER is a Prohibitionist, one of the
most rabid in Kansas. Will those
Populist nominees if elected, use the
influence Of their Offices and their
money TO send PrOhibitionist PETER
back TO turn down Resubmission John
]. ingalls,? Will not those Populist
nominees now so silent on the question:
will not those Populist nominees who
were at the feet Of Hi Lewis last year,
will not those POpulist nominees now
seeking to be elected by anti-Prohibi-
ton votes, will not the double-dealing
lack-principled Populist nominees be
down again at the feet of the Law and
Order league? Will they not be beg
ging the Law and Order league and
the Third Party PrOhibitionists TO give
their support to that good, conscien-
tons Prohibition and turn down the
wicked representative Of resubmis-
sion, John j. ingalls,? Do you mean
to say that those Populist nominees
would today, if the issue were drawn
between the two men, if Kansas had
to elect a United States senator, do
you mean to say that those Populist
nominees would support Republican
Resubmission Ingalls, in preference to
Observation-Disclosures PETER?
OF course they wouldn't They were
not against Prohibition in the past;
they are not against it now; they will
not be against it in the future. When
the Republicans of Sedgwick county
voted for Resubmission Charles Rob
inson and the forsook the Republican
Humphrey, the Populists stuck to a
man by their candidate, Populist Pro
hibition Willets. Last year when the
Republicans defied the Prohibition
Law and Order league, the POpulists
truckled to it, This year when the
Republicans have done everything in !
their power to crush out Tiger Bill and |
his insane activity, the Populists have |
been behind him and his gang with |
money and promises of preferment |
Just last winter the Republicans put I
Lucien Baker. resubmissionist. into 1
the United States senate. Did the |
Populist legislator from Sedgwick vote |
for him or not? He did not
Next year these men who now aspire |
to be in office, this Populist organiza-
ton that is behind the iGiotic prosecu-
tons in Wichita today, what will they |
be doing? Standing up for PETER,
standing up for PETER with the in
fluence of their offices, standing up for
PETER with their money fresh from the .
public treasury, standing up for PETER
with their organs and organizations. |
standing up for Prohibition PETER. and /
fighting ingalls, bitterly. unrelentingly. |
because he is not afraid 20 denounce
the folly of the Prohibition law.
