E. P. HONAN COMMENDED

For His Efforts in Having Fraternal Insurance Law Enacted. E. P. Honan, pres'ident of the Indiana Fraternal Congress, on Saturday received from Governor Ralston the pen with which the governor signed the new fraternal insurance law passed by the recent legislature. Mr. Honan worked hard for the passage of this law, and received a letter of commendation Saturday from ‘Union 13. Hunt, a former secretary of state, now president and general counsel for the insurance department of the suyrere lodge of Knights of Pythias. Mr. Hunt said: Indianapolis, Ind., March 12, ’ls. Hon.- Edward P. Honan, Rensselaer, Ind. My Dear Ed: I want to thank you in the name of the National Fraternal Congress of America for the valiant services you rendered in securing the passage of the New York conference bill by the Indiana legislature, and I want to thank you personally for doing my work tn this connection. While I tried to help some, I feel that I was really of very little assistance. The truth about it is, Ed, that my feet began going from under me soon after the meeting of the Indiana Fraternal Congress, and all at once they went clear from under me and for several weeks' I have been flat on my back. I do not know how soon I will get out, but hope for the best. While Mr. Darling, Taylor, and all the fellows did their best, I feel that to your work and leadership more than any one thing was due the final victory. When I am able to be around again I shall be glad to see you and have you tell me about how it happened. I am prouder than ever now that I nominated you to represent Indiana in the N. F. C. of A. I cer tainly do not know of any other fraternalist that is more entitled to that honor than you own good self. With sincere regards and best wishes, I remain, Very truly yours, UNION B. HUNT, i
