No election and the Senate withdrew.
The House resumed consideration OF
House bill recognizing the police ju-
ries, etc.
Mr.. Sartain spoke In opposition to
| the substitute at o time when the police
jurors were gradually coming over.
Mr.. VOORHEES, replied that Mr.. Sar-
tain's argument supported his own
views. The object was to wipe out by
| law those police jurors who refused to
recognize Gov. Nichols or were skulk-
| ing. As to the danger OF two police ju-
| ries In one parish, when the Nichols
jury shall have been appointed, 1t will
not pay the Packard supporters to
create trouble.

bill be reeommitted to the Committee
on Parochial Affairs, In order to save
time.

to amend by referring to the Judiciary
| Committee.

the section, authorizing the Governor
to appoint five police jurors In each
parish, who shall have been resi-
preceding their appointment, and who
shall hold office for two years, and who
shall thereafter be elected for two
years, said Eve jurors to constitute the
police jury of the parish for which they
have been appointed.

posed to the reeommittal and the sub
