THEY LIKE STUBS
Told State Temperance Union
Where He Stands.
Will Enforce PrOhibitory Law
"To a Dot"
GOOD WORD FOR WIFE
Says That She Can Bake Ex-
cellent Bread.
Meeting Has Been Most Success
full Ever Held.

w R. Stubbs, Republican candidate
for governor, was the principal speaker
at the second day session of the Kan
sas State Temperance union.
Mr.. Stubbs gave a pleasing talk to
the prohibitionists and he was enthus-
iastically received. He informed them
that he would enforce the laws to the
dot and this pleased the members of
the union as they are hunting for men
who will carry out the laws they are
fighting for.
At the meeting Wednesday afternoon
Mr.. Stubbs gave one of his regular
home loving speeches. He talked pro-
hibition, then turned to politics and
| ended up on the good looking children
he has and the good bread his wife can
| make.
Mr.. Stubs started out by telling the
convention that the Temperance Union
had been after him for the last Is years
| for subscriptions. He has always
been in sympathy with the union and
| has always considered it the best or
ganized league in the state.
The Republican candidate, followed
the example of all other speakers be-
fore the convention and paid a tribute
to Attorney Fred S. Jackson. Mr.. Jack
son has received nothing but bouquets
ever since the convention started and
he is undoubtedly the prime factor OF
the excellent conditions in Kansas.
Mr.. Stubbs said he was not seeking
the support of the law breakers in
Kansas. He has been fighting them
every day of his campaign and realized
that they We're his enemies. In part he
said: L had rather have the vote OF
the respectable people and not be elect
ed than the vote of the lawbreakers
and be elected. But 1 am not worrying
much about it as l will be elected any
way, and by a big majority" The ap-
plause he received at this time bort
out his statement as far as the State
Temperance union was concerned.
! The melting of the State Temperance
| union Wednesday afternoon was a re-
| port of the result of the whole conven-
| ton. The battle cry was given in the
form of drawn-up resolutions and it
| was decided to send the two temper
| ance attoreys, John Marshall and j. X
| Codding to Washington to secure anti
| liquor legislation and laws to protect
the prohibition states from interstate
/ liquor shipments made under the pro
lection of the government statutes
| This movement resulted from the en-
| tightening information given by Attor-
ney General Jackson in his speech
! Tuesday when he showed the members
| of the convention the rights y AMI
wrongs of the federal legislation and
the chance Kansas had to uphold hel
honor against the damaging interstate
| shipments. The convention was hell
with Mr. Jackson's speech in view and
it was decided that whatever the at
torney general thought right the con
vention would act on the statement
| When Mr.. Jackson had finished hi:
| brilliant address Tuesday the minds O
the prohibitionists were made up and
they drew up their plans for battle tha
evening.
The resolutions provide for the send
ing of ]. K. Codding and John Marshal
to washington and lobbying for tn
rights of the Union in fighting for thu
exclusion of liquor from Kansas. Th'
resolutions also provided for a protes
