Judge Collamer Defends Free Kansas in April Speech
In Washerton on April 3 Judge Collamer delivered a strong speech supporting Free Kansas. He challenged Mr. Douglas's claim that Missouri voting in the Kansas Legislative election was limited to seven districts. He cited four uncontested districts with 1,365 legal voters but 2,964 votes cast, noting Missouri invaders drove many to polls. The districts chosen both houses’ majorities and a Kansas judge decamped, allowing Missourians to appoint their own judges and elect candidates.
