ut the Lobby.


JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, April 34.-At
noon yesterday Gov. Stone addressed
his message to the Thirty-eighth gener-
al assembly convened in extra session
in response to the governors proclama
tion. The message i, in part as follows:
'Gentlemen of the Senate and House
of Representatives: have felt it my
duty to convene the general assembly
in extraordinary session to consider
several questions of high public i'm
portance.
~ ask the general assembly to enact
a law governing elections held for the
election Of public officials in cities hav-
ing a population of 100000 and over.
The desire for better law, applicable
to such cities, Is so universal, and the
necessity for it SO generally conceded
by right thinking people, that / feel
as If need do little more than submit
the subject for your consideration;
there Is certainly no occasion for an
elaborate discussion of it. The resi-
dents of st. Louis and Kansas City
are impressed with the belief, which,
unhappily, is justified by experience,
