The reading OF the certificates for Gov.

resolution. II Is not how II would affect
Golf or Fleming. The reading Of the
returns is a publication.
Mr.. Hanen (Republican), OF Marshall
The Speaker ruled under that resolu-

have been an appeal from his decision
Mr.. Oxley-l know this Is proper
remedy.
