Major Ross report says: 1--WE have

come to the conclusion that the truly

mosquito probably entirely by the
anopheles species. We estimate, then,
that most Of the malarial fever can be-

Some Of the democratic papers
are calling attention to the fact that
Governor Orman has only vetoed
six bills, but most of them are very
glad to escape any allusion what
ever to his use of the veto power.
The fusion state ticket was elected
on a platform charging that the re
publican party was the friend Of the
corporations and that the fusionists
were the only friends Of the common
people. 1t is we'll to remember this
when considering these vetoes.
The first veto was of bill requir.
ing insurance companies to give .
bond or cash security that they would
pay all just claims against them. In
surance companies are the common
people, you know.
The next veto knocked out bill

Next the governor got in q solar
ple1us veto at bill compelling coal
mining companies to properly venti-
late their mines in the interest of the
health of the miners. This veto was
to help j. Peirpont Morgan and the
other common people interested in
the coal trust.
The governor then had another
chance to assist his insurance friends
by vetoing bill to compel fire in
surance companies to pay their losses
in full. He vetoed and the common
