Of Some Editor The Intelligencer: In your Issue of April 1, under the head "Mr. McLaurln's Platform," yeo make a statement which I am satiated you were led Into through. misappre hension, the sUtement being: "Sena tor McLaurln has .the field alone on the warehouse proposition, Ke ls the originator and. champion of his bill once made a law over the govern ors veto, and the governors objection was later sustained loy the courts." The error In the statement is in the Words "once made a law over tho governor's veto." I suppose you were misled by reason of the. fact that when the governor approved Ahe warehouse bill Ue sent a special message to the general assembly, copy of which I in close you. As a matter of fact, the governor did not veto the bill, but apr proved it Hir view of the bill, how ever, was later sustained by the Su preme Court when the test was made. Cole L. Blease.
