were the joint authors of bill
called the Laney. Odom or Anti
Compact Law, which precludes
the fire insurance companies in
this State from com bining for
the purpose of illegally fixing
fire Insurance rates; and Where
as in our opinion this law will
prove of inestima BILE value to

best interests of the people OF

Icounty-to-county campaign fol
State Offices; and. Whereas, in
our opinion the overwhelming
majority of the people of this
State are in favor of it; and,
Whereas, ih our opinion this is
the only fair and logical way tc
conduct a State campaign, as
the people have an opportunity
Of seeing the candidate face tc
face, hear him present his quail,
fications for the office, and such
campaign is conducted in the
open, and is the foundation Of
democracy We, the mem bers o.
she Chesterfield County Demo

sem bleh, do endorse the county.
to-county campaign, and do in
struct the delegates whom we
elect to the State Convention tc
