Liquor il Topeka's Issue.
KANSAS CITY. April 5s---The elections
to be held on Tuesday for city officers in
all the Kansas cities Of the first class will
as a rule settle matters OF local interest.
The liquor question cuts a smaller figure
than in some previous years. but is the
vital issue in Topeka.
In Kansas City, Kas., straight democratic
and republican tickets are in the field, and
the victory Of either will be hailed as
party triumph, but in most Of the other
cities party lines are not closely drawn,
and the result will give no indication Of the
trend of political sentiment.
