We had a fair hearing and able lawyers to champion our cause. The members of the House regretted to take this action but felt that the Constitution compelled in to that course. .Several mem- have promised to take care of JHvlocal measures for us. 1 feel that the result was inevita ble. No action on"our part could have changed the result*. We ap preciate your confidence and assure your of our continued good will and interest. This amendment will have to he passed in each House by a two- vote, which will be easy to get now, and then passed by the people of the state in the next gen eral election.
