anything on earth keep him from taking
the side of the people who are trying
10 clean up the country. More than
that, he should shoulder the RESPONSE
bility and speak out boldly. He should
let the corruptionists of whatever fac
ton they may be IN that county know
that Kansas has governor who would
send his best friend TO the penitentiary
Tor boodling if he were guilty This is
not the time to play politics The sitlIa-
ton calls for unnlistakable action ana
no 'fzzing" or ironing" The people
are facing a great moral issue and they
should have the governor with them in
voice as we'll as in deed
