west with various connecting branches. He
was not acquainted with the Illinois law, or
how it would operate in Minnesota. He sup
posed, when he came to the meeting, that
the proposed bill of the committee was
to be formulated and considered. He thought
he knew the views of the managers of the
road. They had not attempted to influence
the committee by lobby, but they supposed
that when it had prepared bill they would
be given chance to be heard. He could
talk an hour on such bill as ought to be
passed, and if the committee would delegate
the power to him he would prepare salts
factory measure. But whatever might be the
bill, he was certain his road could live under
it as long as any other company. But seri
ously he did not think the committe should
submit bill before allowing the
officers of their road to consider it.
Their talking mau was in Mil
waukee, but he could be in St. Paul on snort
notice, and prepared with official figures to
support the views he should advance.
