MRS. LEASE AGAINST IT.
Fort Scott, Kan, April SIN a per-
sonal letter, just received here by one
Of Bourbon county's Populst leaders,
the irrepressible Mary Elizabeth Lease
says:
IF the Populists have not by this
time discovered the falsity and perfidy
of the Democratic panty and the utter
uselessness of a coalition with them,
they should be permitted to lick the
hand that snlites.
IF they have not by this time discov-
cred the trea cherry of John Breidenthal,
in booming a corporation attorney for
office and holding his position by grace
of the Republican party, then it is use
less for US to deceive ourselves with the
belief that the people can be enlighten-
ed. And if, in accordance with the
plans now arranged by the said chair
man, they can be brought to nominate
Republican fxer of the Breidenthal
stamp for any office whatever, then
there is no use for US to believe that we
have a Populist party in Kansas.
There is only one nope for reform.
We must arouse the people from this
apathy by nominating a practical farm
er for governor. If there is any attempt
to foist a political boodler or fusion up
on the people every honest Populst
should be found in line fighting the
piratical gang.
WOMEN WE'RE LICKED.
At Spring Hill, Kan, the municipal
ticket made up entirely of women can
didates, the second Of the kind nomi-
mated here, was again defeated by a
vote of to l, B. Boyce being elected
mayor, Grin Newton, S. S. O'Leary, J.
T. Ramsey, D. II. Bingham and o. w.
Rhinehart councilmen and ]. H. Berk-
shire police judge. Two years ago the
women triumphed and gave the city an
economical and business-liEe admins
tration, but last year they were defeat
ed by a vote of 2 to 1, by the ticket
headed by Boyce for mayor. The wo-
men are somewhat discouraged over
this second defeat and proba bly, will not
again make a fight for supremacy, as
many of their sex have lost interest in
political affairs and vote rather reluct-
antly.
