Field. Chairman Earle R. DeLay has Governor Hoch. Leavenworth, 20, 1906, Editor Kansas Prohibitionist: again taken the field, beginning the next campaign, so he says. Wednesday evening following election he spoke in the Friends' church at Emporia, as yearly Republican party drew its largeat majorities from the saloon-cursed warda.

In that lecture Solomon following he spoke in the Pleas not at first "at last it biteth like a serpent and stingcthllke an adder." Marlon Record. Now, after this writing by the Governor, and the reading of his article by the people nearly two years ago, what has Hoch done to overthrow this demon and enemy of all righteousness, and how do the people feel who have elected him to serve two years longer as Governor? But Holy Writ declares, "This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me." What can the State of Kansas expect from a man who has been placed in office by a city and county, solely controlled by the joint and gambling fraternity? The city and county we refer to is that ot Leavenworth. Leavenworth City now has about one hundred and thirty joiuts, three policy wheels, and about a dozen other gambling houses. It also has quite a number of houses of Ill-fame, all of which pay a monthly boodle to our refined city administration.

politicians arc so badly frightened over the tremendous Increase of the Prohibition vote and the number of Prohibition members elected to the legislature that it has been decided to do something to kill off the power of the Prohibition party in this state. It is announced in preus dispatches that the Republican organization will advocate the repeal of minority representation in this state. Prohibitionists will not be caught napping. They believe in proportional representation as the fairest method of representative government. They will be on hand to maintain their rights and will not let politicians rob them of their liberties and freedom such as Illinois enjoys today.
