Rascally rings undoing Indiana reforms in Indianapolis
INDIANAPOLIS March 26. A city meeting of negroes asserts they deserve one quarter of post office positions for their roughly one fourth Republican vote. High or low license is a key issue, with saloon tax at $40 yearly yielding about $10,000, and potential revenues up to $50,000 amid a strained city finances. Legislature-created loans fund monuments, schools, asylums, and reform efforts. Lobbyists flood the scene as reforms face attacks, with theft of the telephone tax bill and manipulation of coal law amid governor Hovey’s hesitations. Senator Byrd of Brazil reports depressed Clay county miners after Harrison’s election. The Republican ring faces likely restoration of city police and fire governance.

Leavenworth Women Rally Behind Regular Party in Kansas City Race
In Leavenworth and nearby towns women voters back the regular Republicans led by D R Anthony who promises to ignore prohibition and win the liquor vote. Jamison, independent Republican, is jailed for rallying near Sunflower African Church. Mayor Neeley orders closure of all liquor shops and a wagonload of beer is seized. A mass meeting at Chickering Hall featured Anthony and Susan B Anthony backing the straight Republican ticket. The contest rises as prohibition saloons profit and rhetoric hints at possible repeal of woman suffrage in Kansas.
