That law has been on the statute books of Kansas during the entire four years of the present administration, yet neither Gov. Stanley nor Attorney-General Goddard has made any move or effort to enforce it. In-steadrthey have suppressed and prevented all efforts from the outside to get the law enforced.

If it should be necessary to produce any additional evidence to prove that the Republican party is the friend and protector of the trusts, that evidence can be found in the state of Kansas.

It mas drawn by Senator H.

P. Farrelly, now chairman of the Democratic state committee. It was passed by a fusion legislature and signed by a fusion governor. The law is sweeping in its provisions and severe in its penalties.
