A Scheme of the Res ubmissionists to Fool
the People.
The latest political story is that boom
has been started for John A. Eaton the
Winfield lawyer for governor in 1896 as
free silver candidate. OF course
silver has nothing to do with
the governorship, but Mr.. Eaton
is resubmissionist, and if he can be
worked into the state house on free
silver boom, he can play smash with the
prohibitory law.
Mr. Eaton used to be a Demo
crat, but later has been a fusion
Populist. His friends say that his
objection to the Populists is their isms
but he is ''staunch free silver advocate" !"
When asked about his boom by a re-
porter Mr.. Eaton said he knew nothing
of it. and said that he would not consider
himself candidate
