186 MAJOR JOHN F. LACEY 



during the spring migration, would accomplish nearly 

 everything that was desired. 



I have just written an article for Field and Stream, 

 which was inspired by reading Mr. Houghton's article on 

 your bill, in the last number. I enclose the article and a 

 copy of the bill to you, with the suggestion that you intro- 

 duce this bill also ; as it would remove some of the objec- 

 tions that you will encounter on the other bill. The time, 

 of course, is short, but there is a feeling in favor of con- 

 servation that will be of aid to you. It took me six years 

 to get the Lacey Act through Congress, but there has 

 been a great change of sentiment since then. 



With kind regards, Yours truly, 



(Signed) John F. Lacey.
