Enterprise Mass Meeting Says He Is
disappearing People.

Enterprise, Kan, Feb. 2S.-An in
dignation meeting was called at the
council chamber last night to protest
against the vote of J. E. Brewer. the
senator from the Twenty-second SEN
atorial district in regard to the origin
al Stubbs primary election bill and the
senator's dilatory method of treating
his own 2-cent rate bill.
G. r. Lamb, one of the Oldest Re
publican voters in Dickinson county,
was elected chairman of the meeting.
The local Republican central COM
mitteeman and the local subcommit-
teemen were present at the meeting
and expressed their disgust with the
political situation at Topeka. 1t was
necessary to adjourn to the high school
building to accommodate the crowd.
A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions while the voters present
discussed the situation. The following
resolutions were presented and ac-
cepted:
From the recent action of the state
senator from Dickinson county in
casting his ballot against the square
DEAF primary bill, we are led to be-
lieve that he has not made himself
familiar with the wishes of his con-
stituents. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we, as representa-
tive Republicans of Enterprise, Dick
inson county, Kansas, make known to
senatorial district that we. his con-
stituents, desire the passage of the
Stubs original primary bill, the anti
pass bill, the maximum freight bill
and 2-cent rate bill; furthermore,
be it
Resolved. that we call the attention
of the senator from Abilene and the
senate as a body. that the voters of
Kansas elected that body to do bust
ness for the people of Kansas and not
for the railroads. Furthermore, that
we consider the investigation of the
senate by itself an insult to the intel
ligence of the voters of Kansas.
Had the senators who are now
clamoring for an investigation fulfill
ed their promises to their constituents
they would have no occasion to hide
behind the cloak of an investigating
committee. Furthermore, that we con-
slider the expulsion of the Star and
Times reporter from the senate cham
Der as a confession of guilty inten-
tions
In view of all the evidence now m
sight pointing to the attitude of the
senator from Dickinson county on leg
islative matters, be it
Resolved. that we, as representative
Republicans of Enterprise, Dickinson
county, Kansas, to so Tar we are
individually responsible for the cleo
ton of the state senator from this dis
trict, most humbly apologize to the
people of Kansas for our mistake.
