Michael Birmingham, calling himself "a soldier who has been over there," writes to Kansas Governor Henry Allen of Topeka asking for repeal of the "Anti-Cigarette Law" "Is the anti-cigarette law a national one? I think not." writes Birmingham. "You erect triumphal arches for us to march under on our victorous [sic] home coming march, but do you stop and consider that one of us may want a "Camel"? "
