HERE'S ONE HEovERLookED
Statesman Payne's Vote on the Elevator

Statesman Payne's Vote on the Elevator
Bill.
In his published and exhibited record
on what he voted for during the last
legislature, Mr.. Payne omitted refer
ence to the elevator bill, one of the
most pronounced measures in the in
terest of class legislation before the
general assembly, and an enactment
clearly and entirely for the
railroads and against the farmers.
Yet PAYNE cast his vote for the bill,
and the fact that he has been so care
full to note the exercises of his in
fiuence in all matters affirmatively and
was careful, too, to avoid reference to
this particular bill. is proofin itself that
he is not at all anxious that the public 5
attention should be called to it. The
elevator law is..a species of class legis-
lation that has always been associated
with the Humphrey and Allen bills
and the Case punishment law.
