The committee Of Conservatives In Lou /
isiana, have modified their proposition to |
Mr.. Wheeler somewhat They now propose
10 recognize Kellogg as Governor to agree |
to pay taxes, and neither molest or impeaeh |
him a. long as the United States Govern
ment recognizes him as Governor. They in
sert this condition so as TO bind themselves
to the supporo Kellogg in case the incom.
ing Senate or next house should take action
which might be considered as hostile 10
Kellogg. In return for this agreement to
support Kellogg, they asked for the restora-
tion Of the five Conservatives unseated by
General Emory, and promise to content
themselves with the control Of the lower
house.
The report OF the Louisiana committee,
signed by Messrs. Fosser, Phelps, Potter, and
Marshall, adheres to the original views pre-
sented In the subcommittee report, and
contains recomme ndation that a resolution
urging the proper authorities In Louisiana
to give the control Of the lower house TO the
Conservatives members, be adopted by the
House. Some OF those signing the report
will express their willingness to support
resolution formally recognizing the Kellogg
Government, but this resolution their report
does not urge, for the reason that the rights
Of Kellogg have not been established by any
evidence taken by the Committee, but are
admitted upon general runner, and as the
bess possip'e so'u"o"e' '"e P'''e"' "'"'"'
