Speech by J. William White

Speech by J. William White

J. William White addresses commissioners regarding the resolution to allow automobile racing in Fairmont Park. His reasons for turning away this sport include the safety of spectators or anyone in the area at the time of the race. Unlike other sports welcome at the park, fatalities of drivers and spectators are prevalent in racing and according to George P. Rich, the city may be liable for injuries or deaths that may occur. Despite enjoying watching the races himself, White feels the responsibility as a commissioner to protect the people and not allow racing in the park.

Letter from John O. Yeiser

John O. Yeiser is sending a petition along with this letter hoping the recipient will talk with a few trusted friends and begin to obtain membership to the club, though Yeiser does not want it getting out yet in order to reduce rival efforts. The effort is being started in prominent cities of Nebraska to bring good men together to choose who they will vote for.
