John r. East, of Bloomington, prohihition's
most ardent advocates, were in the city yester-
day, stirring around among the statesmen in the
interests of the amendment. Dr. Gerrish stated
to News representative that he had no doubt
that the amendment would be killed, but that
they would De Immediately reintro duced and
the fight renewed. DR.. Gerrish said:
THE Democratic members of the Legislature,
who pledged themselves in the campaign to vote
for the submission of the amendments will, I
promise you, have n settlement To make with the
people. Things are turning out just rs antioi-
pated during the campaign, when told the tenn
perance people that Democratic victory meant "a
defeat of the amendments, pledges or no pledges.
The attitude and speeches of the Democr attic
leaders are doing mora for the advancement OF
the prohibition cause than anything we prohibit
tiOnists have done or could do. The storm of
popular wrath is coming. We are, you may say,
going to fight this thing cut on tho prohibition
line just as we have begun. Other people may
talk about local option and other compromise
measures, but Phi have none of them, 1t Is pro-
hiDition we are going to have, sooner or later -

Afternoon Session.

Mr.. Jewstt moved that the order of the day
be now taken up, the same being the several re-
ports from the judiciary committee to
whether or not the constitutional amendments
properly pending before this present Gem
eral Assembly, and that the reports be referred
to a committee of the whole House, 1t was so
ordered, and Mr.. Jewett was eallei to the chair
The several reports were then read.
Mr.. McMullen moved that the committee of
the whole House concur in the report signed by
Meesrs. Williams, of Knox; HeffreD, vii son, of
Marion, and McMnllen.
Mr.. Patton moved to amend by substituting to
concur in the report signed by Messrs. JewetU
and Patton
Mr.. FRAZER moved an amendment to the
amendment by substituting the report signed
by Messrs. Adams, Stewart, Wiley, Wright and
Frazee.
Mr.. Patton said do not feel physically able
neither doing myself the question justice;
therefore will have to be excused from attempt
Ing any argument OF this question: feel that
am III the right in the matter, and suppose
that the gentlemen on the other side of this Ques-
ton feel that they likewise are in the right. All
that L can do Is TO present this matter for dis
cussion. have acted under the best dictation of

believe from what little have examined into
the question, that the constitution has been
complied with in every step. I believe this, and
l have so entered my conclusion in our report.
To decide whether or not these amendments have
been properly referred is not in the province
of any committee; that is question for this
House exclusively. am in favor of submitting
this to the House, and taking a fair and SQUARE
vote upon it. Let the members of this House
say whether or not these amendments are pend
ing, and there is no court in the world to repeal
their decision.
Mr.. Heffren made n lengthy argument in favor
of the majority report.
Mr.. Huston said: We have had this matter
discussed from n legal standpoint, but propose
to discuss il from the standpoint of n citizen of
Indiana. 1t is not for lawyers alone to decide
whether or not this question il properly entered
but thu people of the State will take this matter
in their own hands ana decide. Why this
amendment introduced 1t was because 46, 900
voters of the State requested it that it intro
dnced. IL seems TO Inc, Mr.. Chairman, that this
matter has been fully discussed. The press
throughout the State for the last three or four
weeks has been teeming with the consideration
of these resolutions. / don't suppose that any
argument could change one vote. / think that
every member has decided how he will vote.
say, however, that this ia not party question,
and that it was not introduced as party ques-
ton.
