Pledge to Support Bill to Pay Ex-
1ensea of Tronns fram Caast

2enses of Troops from Coast.
DIES MONIES, Aug. 22.-(Special Tele.
gram .)-Win Fred White, the democratic
nominee for governor, sign? That was. the
question that was asked today by Robert

OF this city. These two gentlemen compose
the committee appointed at a conference
held recently with Governor Shaw by rep,
resentatives from the Ffty-frst Iowa regi-
ment towns to secure a certain endorse
ment from members of the legislature.
The endorsement provides for a pledge to
support an appropriation bill to pay the
expenses of the transportation of the Fifty
first, now serving in the Philippines, from
San Francisco on their return to the state
of Iowa. to be passed by the next legis-
lature.
Fred White is to be asked to sign an
agreement, in case he is elected governor
to recommend the passage of such a bill.
1t goes without saying that Governor Shaw
will sign the agreement, as he will be
asked at the same time that White is. The
effort is going to be made and White will
be given the chance to sign or not to sign.
The agreement which each OF the candi-
dates for governor are expected to sign il
as follows:
I'VE, Leslie M. Shaw and Fred White,
nominees for governor of iowa on the re-
publican and democratic tickets. respec-
lively, do hereby severally agree, each for
himself, that should he become governor
OF Iowa fos the next ensuing term he will
approve an act of the Twenty-eighth gen.
eral assembly of Iowa to reimburse, on
OF state funds, any person or corporation
who may furnish the money to pay the
expenses of a reception OF the Fifty-frst
Iowa volunteers at San Francisco on their
return from the Philippines, and of trans
porting the regiment to the stae of Iowa
after its muster out at San Francisco, in
the full amount of such expense"
