To His ExceIlency, ]. w. Leedy, Gov
ernOra
At the regular meeting of the Free
Silver and Reform club of Lincoln
Kan, Monday evening, March Is the
following preamble and resolutions
were adopted by a unanimous vote:
Whereas, The platforms of the Peo-
pies Party have repeatedly declared in
favor of the passage OF a maximum
freight rate bill; and
Whereas, The late session of the leg
islature, in the passage of the so-called
Harris senate bill failed to give to the
people of Kansas the relief that the
Peoples Party promised. therefore,
Resolved. That we, the Free Silver
and Reform club of Lincoln, Kan.
heartily indorse the action of Governor
I.eedy in vetoing said bill.
Resolved, That we earnestly hope
that. by expressions of a change of
sentiment of our legislators. the gov
ernor may be led to believe that by
calling an extra session of the legisla-
ture more suitable railroad legislation
might yet be passed, and that he may
then see his way clear to call such ex-
ira session.
Resolved That the secretary of this
club be instructed to forward a copy of
these resolutions to Governor Leedy.
