measure. He thought the bill a good
one but 4 the veto were overridden il
would accomplish nothing.

sons advanced by the Governor had not
conv. need him that the bin should be
defeated and he thought the action Of
the Senate should NOT influence the
vote in The House.

newspapers did say that all the bills
he favored We're hot AFR. He thought
the Iaborers should have fair pay just
as much as the school teachers needed
