Il can't help but study that pledge
connections between the man who
signs 1t and the man who would con-
duct the affairs of the city" said the
mayor. IF a man signed that pledge
and then came in as mayor OF To-
peka and enforced the prohibftorv
law to the letter. he would. eli ~ er be
a perjurer or a-well,, won't say it,
That pledge is so drastic that IL rep
resents nothing but plain outspoken
determination to break the laws of
the state"
It is thought by the Green support
ers that the affair of Billiards. con-
nection with the Union league will
practically defeat him for mayor.
They believe that this is proof enough
to show the people what Billiard
stands for according to the reports
given out before the prim-
aries.

strenuous methods to forward the cam

ture sent out over the city:

Liquor Question Mayor
Green's administration from a busi-
