The good news, specifically, was
that his Sunday page of "SlSippy''

found and returned to him.
The drawings had been found by
colored washwoman employed by

that the roll on cardboard. in his
kitchen was anything more than a

concerned. Assemblyman Thomas

the veto made the executive one OF

Senator p ]. Stevenson. lola, Wis,
dry leader claimed. on the other hand
that the governor could do nothing
but veto a bill of such nature,
The governor vetoed the bill on the
ground that it would permit the manu-
facture and sale OF beer without re.
strictions or regulations or sanitary
requirements He also contended ii
would be in the nature OF secession
from the Union and that it would mis-
lead many people into the belief that
beer making was legal when 1t was
still forbidden by the volstead act.
