Senator Guillilland spoke at the Asbury Methodist church in Des Moines last Sunday defending the senate committee’s re submission.

The speaker cites intelligent women in state government and argues for gender equality in public affairs. He praises the Kansas legislature's anti cigarette bill as one of the most ironclad laws, asserting cigarettes harm both brain and heart.
