Of course it is advisable for us to work actively as we have in the past and what we have already done will of course aid the State Board of Trade materially.I presume you have already noted the strenuous campaign the Examiner is making against the recession, though I do not imagine it will accomplish its purpose, yet it will make the fight much harder the sentiment the Examiner is trying to stir up against it. I have thought that perhaps a strong letter from you, which I know the Chronicle would gladly publish would do a great deal to counteract what the Examiner is doing. If you would write such a letter, I will see the Editor of the Chronicle and arrange to have it published when it would do the most good. The Examiner is trying to make out that this proposed recession is the work of officials desirous of getting political jobs, when nothing could be further from the truth. I trust that you will consider this matter favorably, as I think a letter from you would have a most powerful, effect in counteracting the false sentiment which the Examiner is trying to stir up.I enclose a list of the members of the coming State Legis-03482
