| frightened him ont of town? The
| Times is no longer Prohibition paper.
Is it a Populist paper? 1t is Demo
cratic paper? No. 1t is Republi-
can paper. If there is Populist
paper in Leayenworth county, it is
never heard from on the matter.
At the same tune the Atchison Globe
said:
1--WE are honestly Of the opinion, though
resubmissionsst. and one Of the original
anti-Prohibition.sts. that the time for re-
submission has not yet come"
The Globe believes that the time has
come now, and says so every day. 1t
is not Populist paper.
All along the line in 1889 this was
the nature Of the comment A man
was either fool or a whiskyite TO be-
long to a resubmission club or disbe-
| lieved in Prohibition. The Atchison
Champion was as bad as the rest. To
day the Auchison Champion is a re-
submission paper. Is it a Populist
paper? No. 1t is Republican paper
The Kansas City Gazette was equally
felicitious and facile in scoring the re-
submissionites. How is it today? 1t
scores the law numerically. The
Kansas City Gazette is not a Populist
paper. 1t is Republican.
The Lawrence Journal, which is al
ways honest and straight forward In
everything it says has long been a Pro-
hibition advocate. But just the other
day it declared that, try as hard and
as conscientiously as they might, the
officers in Lawrence could not wholly
enforce the Prohibition law. The
Lawrence Journal is a Republican
paper. 1t is not a Populist paper
Does the Populist paper in Lawrence
or anywhere else in Kansas ever make
such an admission?
The fight for resubmission was be-
gun by the Republicans Of Sedgwick
county, not by the Populists of Sedg-
wick county. What converts Of note
have been made, have been Republican
converts because it is impossible to
make the average Populist in Kansas
see anything else but the Omaha plat
form. All the good that has been done
in the way of resubmission has been
on the part of the Republicans.
The Republicans Of Sedgwick county
are still for resubmission. Their work,
begun many years ago, has not been in
vain. The sentiment against the law
over the state is growing, growing
among the Republican voters, not
among the Populist voters, for the
Populist voters are too interested in
saddling female suffrage and other
crankismS on the state TO abolish any
other crankism. The Republicans Of
Sedgwick county are still for resubmis-
sion and against Prohibition. The
candidates they have nominated this
year are against Prohibition and for
resubmission.
These men, these Republicans Of
Sedgwick county with their organiza-
ton, in their delegat ions to Topeka, in
their public meetings, with the Eagle,
have worked hard for the cause Of re-
submission. The sky is breaking.
There is daylight ahead. The imbecil-
ity of the law is daily becoming more
self-demonstrative Is it right, then,
to turn down the Republicans Of Sedg
wick county? Is it right to vote them
down and vote up lot Of Populists
who you do not know are Prohibition
lists or not? You know Henry Schad
and Charley Hatton and Harry Cor
don; you know that every man on that
Republican ticket is against Prohibi
ton. You do not know how the opposi
ton stand. Cherley Hatton, Harry Cor
don and Henry Schad and Denny and
the rest together with the Republican or
ganization in Sedgwick county, have
been working all these years for re-
submission, while the Populists have
been running after female suffrage and
other follies. VIII you now vote down
the friends of resubmission in order
to "show Morrill, a thing Of two?"
Will you set the cause of resubmission
back that far for a seconds satisfac-
ton of doing something you merely in
definitely fancy Morrill, would take as
an affront?
