LETTER FROM PINE
COUNTY LEGISLATOR

st. Paul, Mimi, March %, 1927
My Dear Friends:
We have only twenty days left of
the session, and aside from the tax
bill which is still pending in the
Senate, I cannot see that we have ac-
complished very much to date. OF
course, these few days that are left
will be long and tedious for us and
we will be expected to pass some of
the major bills before we adjourn.
AS I told you in my last letter, on
the Senate side Of the Capitol they
are investigating everyone and every
thing, and the only thing that will
be accomplished will be that we the
people, will foot the bills and we will
not know any more than we do at this
minute. If there is anything crooked
in any department, l am for letting
the legal machinery of the state take
charge, and keeping the matter out
of politics.
The Senate is still determined to
embarass the governor and l guess
that we, the people, will also pay the
bill in the end, because there is no
question that unless one of the two
gives in to the other, that there will
be special session of the Legislature
and while us poor fellows will not
receive any pay for our work we will
at least have our mileage paid.
received letter from the w. c.
T. U. of Askov, last Friday, in which
they requested a private reply, but as
believe that any matter pertaining
to my work and vote in the Legisla-
ture should be public, I will answer
the same publicly.
First they requested me to use my
vote and influence against House File
No. It's. This bill is horse racing
bill and would permit horse racing
in the cities of the first class, which,
of course, is st. Paul, Minneapolis,
and Duluth. I will state that / am
for this bill. If this law were placed
on the statutes it would encourage
horse breeding in the state and would
in my opinion be a good thing for
the state.
Secondly, / was asked to inform
them how 1 voted on House File No.
1T. This bill would allow the people
of the state to have right to vote
ON the wet and dry question at the
next election. 1 will state that I
voted for this bill. 1 am a good en-
ough American citizen to let the
people have their say in matters of
this kind.
I would say that there are other
matters pending in the Legislature
at this time that are far more i'm
portant to the morals of the young
people than these matters and I won
der why the w. c. T.. U. has not
interested themselves in same. I hope
to tell my people all about these mat
ters in the next two years. I am not
ashamed of any vote that I have made
and 1 can prove that never lodged
vote on any question.
am sorry that I am compelled to
cut this letter short, but there has
not been anything of Importance done
since my last letter was written. I
will endeavor to give you complete
account of what was done with all
important matters of interest to you
in my next letter.
Again extending to you an invitation
to come down and see me when in St.
Paul, and assuring my many friends
of my appreciation for the many nice
letters received to date, I am,
Sincerely your servant,
J. e. Therrien.

SEVEN GOD|vAS
PLANNEDAT BALL
One Nude Maiden on Horse
Declared Not Enough for
Chicago Affair.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. November 14.-The Arts
Ball committee on Lady Godiva was
called today to see what's to be done
about her.
Lady Godiva-surely the legend
comes quickly to mind-was the noble
woman who. for the promise of relief
to the poor, rode sans attire through
Coventry, or some such bailiwick.
The crtlx of tho thing is this: The
Chicago Arts Ball committee, seeking
lots of customers for the annual event,
hits upon the new-but-ceneraiiy-
successful idea that injection of some
thing a bit risque would create the
desired public discussion pro and con,
with the resultant sale of all tickets.
Committee Wants Seven.
But the argument among the COM
mitteemen got off to such good start
that the Lady Godiva enthusiasts be-
came genuine crusaders and now
there are those who insist upon not
one out seven Godivas.
Benjamin II. Marshall and A. n. Re-
bori. architects and committee mem
bers. said the ball would fall flat with
out the classic reproduction.
"Certainly," said Mr.. Marshall, I'VE
should have n Godiva. The legend is
very beautiful. Her appearance on a
white horse at the bali will be an ar
tistic achievement.
"Rebori's idea is one Godiva. l am
advocating six more. One will be Lady
Godiva, horse and ALL The others
will be Godivas on foot. posing in
frame. All will wear blond wigs"
All for Arts Sake.
And so the committee was called
today. 1T is for art" they explained.
But whatever the result of the dis
cussion-and this the committee was
at pains to commend to the notice of
reportars-the ball will positively be
held, rain or shine, November 25,
whether it be Lady Godiva singular,
