Boost for Anti-Pnss Bill.
The address Of Governor William LARA
bee Saturday is serving as a boost TO the
anti-pass bill The ex-governor did not
mince words in saying that the anti-pass
bill would be enacted. There is no doubt
but the aged statesman has a very strong
following I'm the state al this time He was
the fore front of the granger movement
OF many years ago and the political battles
of today are described as nothing in com
parison with the times when Lar-abee
was the executive. The fact that Governor
! I.arrabce has spoken against the pass sys-
TEN is sufficient for many people.
Work for Tuberculosis Hospital.
! OF greater effect than this advocacy Of
/ the anti-pass bill was the statements Of
Governor I.arrabee in favor OF the tuber-
culosis hospital It has been conceded that
the tuberculosis hospital had a very small
chance at this session because of the lin
| tied funds a this time available for legisla-
/ tive appropriations Governor Larrabee
urged the necessity of the hospital so ear
nestlv upon the Legislature that considerable
more attention will be given to the matter
/ than was az first expected. It is more than
! likely that at least sufficient ground will be
/ purchased now. leaving to future legisla-
| lures the business of providing buildings.
but il the ground is once purchased for the
( purpose. the buildings will be erected be-
yond doubt.
