care to have their vote recorded All the colored
members and in fact, most OF the Southern repuo-
cans will vote against the bill In Ohio Foster is the
only republican member Of the delegation in favor Of
the measure. while several democrats against IT.

It; SO OF the Maine delegation, with the exception OF
Burlegh Tho Pennsylvania republicans are also
nearly united in their opposition
The prominent TACT developed by this is that
the bill has over twothrds In It's favor.
