Ayers, promoter of the plan to keep the people from trying out the new code law, passed by the legislature as promised to the people. The gov ernor comes back at , Promoter Ayers in pretty strong language. He says in part; I wonder tf you recall the statement that was mad by a well-known demo crat of this state when he was discussing the code bill in one of the public hear ings, when he said; "I see about the halls of the state house those same In terests opposing the code that have been opposed to the Interests of good govern ment for years," and, In that, everyone within the sound of his voice recognized the truthfulness of his statement and ap plauded him for It. The people will un derstand In due time, It they do not al ready, that you have allied yourself with those Interests and that will cause them all the more to wonder from whence comes the funds to carry on your spite campaign to refer the code before it has been given a trial.
