TOPEKA IS AROUSED
Nation Temperance Agitation Re-
suits in Greatly Increased
Registration.

Topeka, March 90 The temperance
agitation startedsin this city by Mrs.
Nation, has resulted in bringing out
the heaviest registration for the spring
election in the history of the city.
The registration books just closed
show a registration of 10, 900, of
which 5000 are women.
The registration last fall for the
presidential election was 10, TIA men,
which shows that women are taking
the greatest interest in the election
this spring. The law and order league
has put up candidates for mayor and
other city officers who are pledged to
enforce the prohibition law, and they
have made a house to house canvas to
see that every voter favorable to their
candidates is registered. The opposi-
ton has also been very active and
the coming election promises to be the
most exciting ever held in this city.
