many the reef upon which the Republi-
can party was in danger Of splitting but
prohibition is the settled policy of the
state.
James A Troutman expressed this
opinion Of the situation 20 a reporter:
Il DO not think that the prohibition
question will cut any greater figure in
our state campaign this year than IL
las heretofore. There are so many
questions TO come up during this cam
Daign that prohibition viii be overshad-
owed. The national campaign, with
the election Of president and members
of the state legislature. who are TO elect
a United States senator, a-e matters
which will absorb the chief interest
Il believe the Republicans Of the
state Will get together and work in
harmony. l believe the state and ma
tional platforms VIII meet all necessary
issues coura geOusly. and after the plat
forms have been made known the party
will be united in the state and nation.
There is no question about the Republi-
can party winning the state this year.
There are bound TO Dc good citizens
nominated and they are bound 90 win:
We shall have a republican congress-
man to succeed Mr.. Baker in the Sixth
district and a Republican senator TO
succeed Mr.. PETER. and then We viii
There viii be no break in the Republi-
can ranks this year"

FOR REED, NOT NKTNLEY.
Topeka, Kan, Feb. S.-The Kansas
City Times has the following in a To-
peka dispatch: Governor Morrill, is re-
garded as a Mckinley man, but away
down in his heart he is for Thomas B.
H. g, :
ley because the Republican party Of
Kansas is for Mckinley, but Reed IS
his choice his idol What IS more,
the governor thinks that Reed will have
q walk-cver il the St. Louis conven- ;
ton. He looks upon Reed as a Man
o. Destiny Beat Reedr'' he said the !
ather day to q friend why, they :
might IS well try to turn back the tide !
Of events. The country needs Reed as {
il needed Lincoln. He IS the man for ,
the presidency. and he will be nominal ,
ed and elected" :
Governor Morrill, and Mr. Reed are life
ong friends. They have been on terms y,
= intimacy since their boyhood. II is ,
cot unnat Ural. therefore, that the gov :
arnor should feel a deep interest in the ,
Names man presidential boom. When :
he governor was in the east last fall {
=
% had gone there to arrange for the :
delivery of Mckinley into the Reed A.,
amp. The story may or may not &
awe been true hut the fact is that the 5
governor has not taken any part in I

ted manager Of Mr.. McKinley's inter-
ests in the state. Knowing that the
ara for Mckinley. Governor Morrill, :
probably feels that by opposing them
ne would not only be Of no service 10
Reed. but would endanger his own
chances for denomination. The gov
ernor, therefore. maintains a. clam-like
silence. HIS private views on the sub
