Senator Kalauokalani maintained a

Woods characterized the attack on
Campbell as cowardly and unmanly.
He spoke at length and eloquently on
the subject

Representative Harris emphatically

FOR FAMINE SUFFERERS
Committee Appointed by Gov.
Bailey Makes Plans.

The committee appointed by Cover
nor Bailey to supervise the relief work
in this state for the famine stricken
people of northern Sweden, met at the
Copeland hotel this morning. Dr. Carl
Swensson, of Lindsborg, was elected
president of the general committee;
Gustav Nyquist of Topeka, vice presi-
dent; Frank Nelson, secretary. and
Victor Johnson, Riley countys treas
urer.
The committee is very desirous of Sc
curing the hearty cooperation of the
people of the state in their efforts to
relieve the suffering people in Sweden.
With this end in view, the committee
suggests that in the cities, the mayor
be requested to call a public meeting
to discuss the question of securing aid,
and have the necessary local commit
tees appointed to supervise the work
and receive contributions In the coun-
try districts it is requested that the
township trustees call meetings and
appoint local committees. The gen
eral committee also suggests that the
churches, ministerial unions Christian
EndeaNOr societies, EpWOrth leagues,
the Baptist Young Peoples unions. the
Luther leagues, and all other societies
of young people IN the various denOm-
nations, also fraternal organizations
and other societies devoted to humane
interests be kind enough to give con-
certs, socials and lectures, and that the
proceeds be donated to the relief fund.
In the matter of donations, the COM
mittee prefers money, as it can be sent
more readily. However, where provis-
ions are donated to the local committee
it is suggested that the local commit
tee convert the provisions into money
and forward the cash to Victor John
son of Manhattan. the treasurer Of the
general committee.
After very full discussion it was
the sense of the committee that all an
nouncements TO the public be made
through the press. The cause is so
humane that it appeals to all the peo-
pie and 1t is earnestly requested that
the newspap pers of the state make men
ton of the work outlined by the COM
mittee. urging the different communi-
ties to hold public meetings for the pur-
pose of securing donations
The complete list of donations in
each city or country district should be
acknowledged in the local papers, and
the total sum only from each city,
congregation or society as sent to the
treasurer of the general committee be
acknowledged in the Topeka papers
Contributions are already being re-
ceived by the committee. Kansas has
always responded to every cause. and
Ii is believed that the good people of
the state VIII do their full duty in the
work of assisting their suffering fellow
men in northern Sweden
