The Leahy letter to the senate was
as follows:
Governors Office. Topeka. Feb. 2S
1911.
ITO the Hon. Senate of the state of
Kansas:
In the newspaper interview 1 gave
out some days ago criticising the ac-
tlonS of some of the members of your
honorable body, and accusing them of
being political crooks of a greater de-
gree of daring. than Robin Hood or
capt. Kidd ever showed in the palmy
days of long ago, / did not empty the
sack L now ask this honorable body
Tor the opportunity to get in the lime
tlllon measurements out of my system.
In the first place I want to talk, and
IN the second, want to show the peo-
pie of the state at large how badly
Governor Stubbs is being treated by
the Kansas senate. Therefore / chal-
lenge your honora Bile body to a debate
with or without rules, and I for my
part will undertake to maintain the
charge that three out of every four of
the senators were offered bribes of
$4,000 each for --oting against the !.
and r. and how the rest of the men,
bers sold their votes against the recall
for 81 900 each
Why, the Pittsburg waterworks
graft, including a certain Mr.. Casey,
amounted to millions, and the people
ought to know who got the money. I
have psychological information on this
matter.
Il myself saved the house docket
clerk from the prison stripes this SEN
ate wanted to place on his fair young
body after he had been tempted three
times.
Political crookedness is rampant in
this body, and can show it to you like
an Essany film man throws his NOV
ing pictures on the screen.
Il urge the senate to be fair and give
me chance to tell a little of all the
things 1 know about the crookedness
of this senate and the patriotism and

''Sec'y to the Governor
The newspaper gang take this oc-
cas1on to express appreciation for the
assistance rendered by Tom Botkin,
A. G. Colson, S. c.. drummer and G. C.
Starr, pages, and Walter Bowles, read
ing clerk These places were made as
conspicuous as those filled by the
senators and the show would have
been failure without this outside
help.
