Mr.. Julius F. Taylor,
Publisher and Editor The Broad Ak
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Mr.. Taylor
The copy of The Broad AK arrived
this morning containing the marked
article headed: "The Torrey Bank
ruptcy Law"
Please accept the thanks of the
other friends of the cause for this
strong contribution to our literature.
Senator Brown has twice entered OBJ.
jections at critical periods to the con-
sideration of the bill, and if it should
fail to pass for want of consideration
it will, think, be largely due to his
obstructive tactics. Hence 1 have tele-
graphed you and beg to confirm my
message as follows: "Please have
urgent kilograms sent Senator Brown
favoring bankruptcy legislation"
There is danger that the bill will not
be considered at this session in view of
the short time yet remaining. 1t so, it
will fail and will be introduced in the
next Congress as a new measure.
We shall, however, continue the
struggle until the gavel falls on the
fourth of March and most earnestly
hope that we shall succeed in securing
the passage of the bill.
You are without assignment or in
solvency laws in Utah, as I am told.
Last year there was larger percentage
of those engaged in business in Utah
failed than in any other State in the
Union, your average being 4.95 per
cent, while the average per cent. for
the whole country was only something
like 1.50 per cent. 1t is reasonable to
conclude that if our bill was passed to
protect debtors and creditors that there
would be a smaller percentage of fail
ures; the honest debtors would get a
discharge; the assets of insolvents
would be rateably divided between
creditors of equal rights. Are not
these results earnestly desired by your
citizensf
Bespeaking a continuation of your
influence, I am,
Very sincerely and truly yours,
JAY. L. TORREY.

extensive correspondence campaign in
the Senator interest over his own sig
nature.
He was Chairman of the Sangamon
County Republican Central Committee
in 1914, and is pleased to refer Re.
publicans to the excessive pluralities
given the party candidates at that
election. Although Sangamon County
is normally a close county politically,
Senator Sherman received a plurality
of 4,573, and all Republican candidates
at the election received pluralities
ranging from 1896 to Abs.
He, as well as thousands and thou
sands of Republicans in all parts. of
this state, are thoroughly convinced
that much "new blood is needed;
that the young, live element of the
Republican party is entitled to recog-
milton on the state ticket at the forth
coming statewide primaries, Wednes-
day, September 18th.
1t must be said to the everlasting
credit of Mr.. Keys that he was a men,
Der of the Board of Supervisors of
Sangamon County during the race riots
in 1908; that the Colored population of
Springfield will readily and heartily
testify as to the valued aid rendered
by him in protecting the Colored eiti-
zens of that city from the hands of the
bloodthirsty mobs, determined on their
determination.
During that dark and disgraceful
period, more than half a dozen Colored
people were protected and kept upon
the premises of Mr.. Keys father, and
two Colored men worked unmolested
in the Farmers National Bank.
Every Colored man throughout the
state of Illinois, in view of the above
facts should unhesitatingly record his
vote on Wednesday, September 18th,
in favor of a true friend Of the race
George E. Keys; for the Republican
nomination for State Treasurer of Hi
nois.
