The letter cites costs to Kansas Mutual Insurance Co for an exam by the Republican commissioner, contrasts with McNall’s cheaper Connecticut tour, and notes GOP papers should mention Monett’s defeat by the Hanna Ohio Republican convention. Mention is made of Montgomery county Republican convention endorsing the 1897 anti trust law and references Jerry Stimpson’s Bayonet.
