Reasons for the Rejection
of the Act BY His

AS soon rs the Houseof Representa-

day week Governor McSweeney sent in
message yetoing the act repeating
the antifree pass act passed at tic last
session. The message reads as fol-
lows;
To the Speaker and Members Of the
House of Representatives:

approva! act No. 129 to Repeal an act

passed at your last session. hut was not
ratified and turned over 10 us until the

TO repeal was passed in response 10
popular demand TO remove tie Jegisla-
tor and the official, as far as possible,
from corporate power and influence. 1t

though enacted during the time when
factional feeling ran high. 1t had the
support of members of all factions at
that time and was enacted for the pub
lie veal. do not know of any aauand
orany good reason why it should be re-
pealed, and have therefore withheld
my approval from the act repeating it..
The system of distributing free passes
by railroads among the members OF the
legislature and other officials before
this act was passed prohibiting it was
pernicious, and while would not for a
