Suspicion Points to His Having Par ticipated in a Lynching Bee--- He Loved “Old John” Governor Sinbbs, the great reformer and leading everything in: ditferent, good or bad of Kansas, please tell the voters of Kansas and the Christian and church people, where were you early Sunday morn. ing, July 11th, 1832, when Pete Vinegar, George Robertaon and Isaac King, three colored men, were lynched ftom the Kaw River bridge at Lawrence, hbyamob Tell us where were you at 11 o'vlock, Sunday morning of that day, Were you at church? We await your answer, If you ein’t answer let your Sslomonian private secretary, Dave Leahy, answer, a5 he seems to know everything for you and that you don’t know. [rom what we hear it looks as though you might hive a guilty hnosledge of taking a hand in the American white man’s fayor- ite pastime, lynchirg Negroes. , Your carcer and your assosiations point stroagly to your pull, A few people of Lawrence have euspicioned you since it happened. You were 3 little wild and woolly about that time, champtoning that for which you will ask thd next Legislature to send men to the penniten. tiary. For, of coureo, whiskey flowed freely the aight that sport of lynching was put on by either you or your friends. J We can see how readily you see the harm in old min John.] We heard some very etraight news about your deing suspected in connec- tion with the lynching. Daar Governor, tell as where you were oD the Lord's day, early Sunday morning of June 11th, 1932, when Peter Vinegar, George Roberteon and Issac King were lynohed off the kaw River bridge.) If you can show the people ho you became a million. aire within twenty.five years, and 6ay you came by ‘it honestly, after your career in Lawrence, we will vote fer you. People, don’t be lrad off after this haunted reformer, his}ili.got- ten gains haunt him. Misery loves company, and he thinks all corpo- rations have done hke bim, The Scriptures say, give all you have, (if dishoneatly obtained) and follow Christ. Stubbs has not done so, Stubbs Wants Jim Crow Laws. In the Republican Platform drawn by Stubbs, appears the following plank: {b] To submit to the people of Kansas a constitutional amendment in 1912 giving them the right to initiate legislation and vote upon certain legislative amendments— the amendments that have been adopted by the states of Maiae,Oregon and South Dakota, with a five per centum petition fora referendum vote and eight per cent. for an initiative vote. You will notice by this plank that Stubbs proposes to amend the constitution by a petition of eight per cent. of the voters. What is the reason for this eight per cent. demand ? It is perfectly easy to understand if one stops to think, Stubbs wants it,so if the colored people do not do his biddiug, he can with an eight per cent petition passa law for separate schools—or a ‘‘Jim Crow’’ law, or any such kindred legislation against our peop'’e The Democrats don't ask for an eight per cent. referendum law.

Now, the local eption syatem in- cludes some atrong state laws which make it possible to enforce probi. bition in the counties wanting it, There is the law prohibiting the establishing of warehouses where alcoholic beverages may be stored anbject to individual ownerabip and the law regulating expresa comps. nies in the handllog of thie product in the dry counties, These laws will be superseded by this constitu. tional amendment and wil) :mmedi. stely open the door to the intro- duction of the blind tiger and other evasione of prohibition in the dry counties, so that the first effeot of state-wide probibition will be a leas rigid enforcenent of the law in the dry counties, Furthermore, it is probable state- wide prohibition, If adopted will prove so disastrous to the industri. al and commercial interests of the state and bring ruin to so many thousands of people that it would arouse a storm of protest and re. sentment which would soon provoke a reaction and force its repeal io a fow years. In tbat cree, thelocal op. tion lawe navingall been supersed- ed by this amendment, it would leave us without any laws on t'e subject, to beginagain from the foundation with legisistion on the liquor question, snd to fight the Joost option battles over once more, ‘It ta no figare of speech, therefore, tosay the dry counties are in dan. ace of losing what they already have int eir attempt to force their will on the balance of the state, | In addition to the, the destruc. tion of the nearly two hundred mil. lion dollare invested in the manu. facture of these producte in’ this state and the conscquent loss of the milnions of dullars annually whieh they pay in taven will com pell a re. adjustment of tho aystem of tava on, The figures have been care. fully compiled in the state auditor's office and it haw heen estimated it will cause an incresse in the state taxesof 50 per cent.
