The Goodland republic., 1907-03-29

| is a democrat. I knew it We can
expect reform from every party except
the republican party. There is more
reform in the democratic party than
there ever was in the republican par
ty. There Is more prohibition in the
south than there is in the north There
is four times as much They are
democrats in the south and republi-
cans in the north. The republicans are
the stand patters-' call them the
rUmpubIicans, you know.
do you know that President ROOse-
velt is unpopular in Washington?
Well, he is. I made a talk there re-
Gently to a crowd OF from 1000 to
5000 people and I didn't spare Mr.
Roosevelt And the people cheered
and shouted. There was not a single
hiss Would that have been the re-
suit if I had attacked LincOln2 No,
the audience would have hOOted me
down. Why? Because Lincoln did
something for humanity. Roosevelt
has never done anything for anyone
I but Roosevelt and the liquor traffic
During my speech I showed the audi
ence a picture Of Roosevelt on a whis-
ky flask I told them that il was the
most appropriate place for his picture
that I had yet found And the audi
ence fairly hOwled with applause
Il was refused admission to the
white house when went to call upon
/ President Roosevelt All nations are
welcome at the white house except
/ Carrie. wanted to ask President
| Roosevelt If it was true that his
| daughter sat with the Russian count
and smoked cigarettes. The idea Of
/ the presidents daughter, a cigarette
smoker, and a gambler, too, represent
| ing America abroad. She has been
seen to gamble at the race track And
believe that the report OF her set
/ ting on the steps and smoking cigar
cites with the Russian count are true
Back of the pOstOfice building in
! Washington there are numerous places
where liquor is sold. President ROOse-
\ welt and the commissioners could stop
/ that in twenty-fOur hours If they
would. Roosevelt has simply fooled
/ the people. That is why the liquor
| element like him. They must fool the
! people. But they are never fooled.
/ Not the liquor people. They always
make sure of their man.
! Governor Hoch is a lobster. When
/ I was starting on my crusade, he used
/ to say nice things Of me occasionally
/ Now he is governor and what has he
done? Why is it we have saloons
| over the state? Because the governor
]
| came out for Office people asked me
what thought OF him. I said that I
| didn't think he would do anything be
| cause he was a republican HOch is
a conservative. Conservative means
that he is a coward. These conserva-
tives are all towards He also fooled
the people, like Roosevelt
Il viii leave tonight but will come
to Topeka often. Yes, I VIII call up
| on Governor Hoch while I am here
but I don't expect him to do anything.
You might just as well expect the
devil to close he'll as to expect q re-
publican to close the joints. Kansas
is q prohibition state-all but the gov
ernOr."
Mrs. Nation then sent a small
hatchet TO County Attorney Schenck
/ The hatchet is pinned to a small card
and on the card is written, "Compli-
