'aThey shall not come into Kansas!
Kansas must remain dryi"
This is the challenge that was is
sued today by the Kansas Anti-Saloon
league against the forces that are said
to be attempting to enter Kansas and
spread prohibition propaganda.
The challenge was issued by F. l..
Crabbe, state superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon league. The opposition is
directed against the Citizens Liberty
league, which has applied to the state
charter board for permission to work
in the state.
THE attempt of this organization
to gain admission into Kansas is Il
part of nationwide campaign
against prohibition superintendent
Crabbe said, in his statement on the
Citizens LibertX-league. THE forces
in charge of this campaign are direct
ing all their attention to Kansas with
the hope of bringing a. great moral
effect on other sections of the nation.
Kansas is the center of the struggle

Propaeanda-Won't Let Organization Enter Kansas.

Within a short time we will have petit

Such petitions are being circulated in
several localities at the present time.
However, L do not believe that the
league would be granted a charter by
the state board. Secretary of State l..
]. Pettijohn said that the charter
probably would not be granted in &C
