To the Hon. Governor of Utah, Hon. Sir: We the members of the Tonopah Propoganda League in session, wish to protest against the unjust murdering of our Comrade and Fellow Worker, Joe Hillstrom, who was convicted of murder in Salt Lake City Utah on the flimsiest kind of contradictory circumstantial evidence by a jury that was biased and predjudiced against Joe Hillstrom, on account of his affiliation and ideas. We hope you will give this your earnest consideration, as the working class have to long stood aside and looked upon such miscarriages of justice, that is about to put a blot upon the fair name of the State of Utah.

Sincerely Yours: The members of the Tonopah Propaganda League
