BULLETIN NUMBER THREE 131 



addresses from Minneapolis to Denver and Seattle, from 

 Seattle to San Diego, and homeward to Harrisburg. 



The following are the roll-of-honor states, — states with 

 a buck law, in which female deer and fawns may not be

 ment, or ignores it, little understands the present temper 

 of the people of this State as a whole.

 cease, forever; and it is also time for senators and assem-
