A movement born from Mrs Nation and the saloon smashing in Topeka has formed the Law Enforcement League of Kansas. A permanent grand chapter aims to purify state politics with local chapters in every city town and hamlet. The Topeka scenes inspired the group, with home defenders led by Mis Nation and a men’s auxiliary forming a broader operation. The Topeka meeting to plan a state organization was secret and details remain scarce.
