we have respectively subscribed our
names, to-wit: The Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers, the Order of Rail
way Conductors, the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Firemen and the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, being residents Of
the county of Lake and state of Mime
sofa, and legally qualified voters there
in. being desirous of promoting the inter
ests of railroad employees in general in
said state, and of enhancing in every le-
glt1mate way, the influence Of an i'm
portant branch of the state government
and being desirous of securing a place
upon the state railroad and warehouse
commission for man of pre-eminent
qualifications for the position, q man
who in training and long service in the
mechanical department of q great and
growing railroad of said state, has pre-
pared him especially for service in such

Dor and labor organizations throughout
his extended experience has endeared
himself to the employees in all branches
of railroad service, and who has always

the time has come when such interests

resented in the state government
