friend Thomas Anderson to use the
same remedy. 1t would no doubt do
him some good besides bringing out his

were threatening to go through the

it has failed to quiet them. Conse-

c. H. Samson, secretary of the State

SAL:
During the last Legislature we tried
to get bill through authorizing the
appropriation of a small amount of
money for the state fair. Many of the
other states have large appropriations,
but we would have been satisfied with
a small one. The bill got past the sem
ate all right but ran up against a snag
in the house. I have no doubt but
what the bill would have passed If it
had ever been put to vote, but such
reached the house but was killed in the
committee room. through the influence
of a man whom you all know.
st am told that this man said that he
was not in favor of anything thar
would be likely to benefit Topeka. He
was against Topeka. I do not wish to
become personal at all but in case that
some of you do not know who he is I
will say that his first name is Cy. I'm
against him.
