St Joim County No More. Chicago Tribune. The Legislature of Kansas has fittingly rebuked the treachery of its ex- Gov-? ernor, St. John, the Prohibition demagog, who is now running the third party in the interests of the Democratic party under the pretense of temperance.

A bill changing the name of the county to Logan passed the House the 24th by a vote of 64 to 34, seventeen Democrats voting with the majority. The bill had already passsed the Senate and was signed by the Governor the day it passed the House.
