NOT A DODGER.
Senator richardson Defines His
Position on the Weekly
Payment Bill.

EDITOR BAzoo The correspon dent of
the Sedalia Gazette, seems to criticize
nv absence pending the vote of the
weekly payment bill few days ago
and intimates that I lodged" the
issue.
Now / am called upon by the Ga
zatte # this date to rise and explain.
To those feeling an interest in my &C
tons AMI the cause of my absence
when the bill was called, l desire to
say that shortly before the calling up
of the bill was requested to visit the
flee of the secretary Of state on i'm
pGrtant business and while on that
mission the bill was considered, deba-
ted and defeated. BIT in order to
set at rest all doubts as to my posi- ion
on the bill. l wish it fully and
fairly understood that had | been in
my seat when the roll was called on
the bill l would INST emphati-
cally have voted against it as its
provisions were unfriendly and
totally irimic ! to the interests of the
laboriug, or working CLASSES, as well
as the employer. l think there is no
"dodging" about these sentiments.
Doubtless [ possess miny faults
but L can assure my friends and con-
sti:uents, that COW srdice or lodging
has never found resting place in my
anatomy.
never lodged a bullet q regret
that did not dodge two of them.)
The session is now in its waning
hours and of course much hasty leg
islation will or may be enacted. 1t
frequently happens that a member
will drop into some of the retiring
rooms aud during his short absence
bill may be called up, roll called and
he is by some irresponsible or sensa-
tional reporter called a
dodger. The present. senate
of Missouri. may be equalled but
cannot be excelled by any eouven-
tional body of msn of corresponding
number. Regardless of political
views, they are safe, conservative of
the peoples rights, attentive to the
most minute details for the pub ic
veal and have only in view a con-
scientious and honest discharge of the
duties imposed upon them.
And now | wish to address myself
to the Jefferson City correspondent of
the Sedalia Gazetta, who l under
stand is a Sedalian and for short |
will call him Doc Graham. His
