William A. Harris, candidate for
governor, was formerly United States
senator from Kansas. He was a con
feGerate soldier in the civil war and
was n of the engineers who built the
Union Pacific railroad
Temporary Chairman Hodges, in his
speech, charged that Governor Hoch
had entered into a combine with the
railroads by which he would have a
denomination, the railroads to name the
remainder Of the republican state tick
ct. He mentioned w. j. Bryan and
VIM. A. Harris and the convention
cheered heartily.
Mr.. Sapp, the state chairman, said
in part:
Denounces Republican Party.
Such a system as has been inaugu-
rated by the machine republicans OF
this country ought not to be tolerated
longer. Have we arrived at that point
in our history when the power delegat-
ed by the voter to the congressman
is re-delegated to the speaker of the
house to tell us what shall and what
shall not be? 1t is not republicanism;
it is not democracy. 1t is the vilest
kind of monarchy.
"Our congressman have misrepre-.
sented us long enough. We are in ia
vor of the old-fashioned doctrine as
%enunciated by Samuel ]. Tilden and re-
e%nunciated by Grover Cleveland, of a
tariff for revenue only. The time is
past when we should protect trust and
~capitalistic combination. Protection as
declared by the republican party is
now used as an aid to the rich to be-
come richer and force the poor to be-
come poorer.
1.-THE democratic party a always
demanded the enforcement of all laws.
The republican party does not pretend
to enforce our laws. They make a
show, here and there, of enforcing the
prohibitory law for the sole purpose of
~placating the Christian element, but
they don't enforce the law hard
enough to drive the whiskey element
out OF Kansas and the brewery inter-
ests of Missouri away from them.
Hence when election day comes you see
the churches and the jointists arm in
arm, line up against decency, honesty
and democracy, the republican party
advocating free whiskey and disobed-
fence to law; the democratic party
asking for high license. the control of
whiskey selling and the absolute en-
forcement of the law. Hence the is
sue, high license versus free whiskey."
