MIR. Dickey of Fort Kent said that il hs(
been the custom TO receive the kESNEgE,
JOURNAL as the journal Of the House TO
many years. and that thst paper had no
been taken into consideration at all il
the selection of daily papers The KENNE
BEG JOURNAL is the official paper of tn,
state, and is therefore the House journal
and it had always been understood that tn,
two papers in addition thereto were to b.
selected by the members, but the amend
ment of his friend from Bangor msde the
matter clear to all.
Mr.. Harrington of Norridgewock sale
that while he did not think thar paper i.
al extravaganza, he was inclined TO follow
the rule of past houses, namely, that ont
paper be selected in addition to th'
State paper, the KENNRBEc JoSRsAL, ant
he believed that this WAS what tn,
members understood by the order a.
amended. He was in favor of so amending
the order that it should read zone State pa
per in addition 10 the KEsNEBEc jour
NAL"
Mr.. Smith of Turner inquired whether
the State had to pay for the KENSEBEc
JOURNAL furnished to the House, as it had
done in the past. If it did, they would
have upon their desks three daily paper.
to be paid for by the State, II seemed Il
him that two daily papers were sufficient
pecislly the farming communities. woult
regard it as an extravaganza in the repre-
ssntatives to ask the State to pay for three
papers.
Mr.. Shaw of Portland, explaining his po
sition, said that he was not aware that i
was obligatory upon the members to take
the KESNEBEC JOURNAL. and that by his
amendment he had meant that the members
should have two papers only.
Mr.. White of Bangor thought that thu
order as originally amended should be Civ
en- a passage for the reason that he ant
several other members, taking ad.
vantage of the order as passed Wednesday
had already ordered two papers besides the
KESNEBEC Journal.
The question Was then upon the amend
ment of Mr.. Shaw of Portland. The
amendment was rejected.
Mr., Porter of Bangor moved to 80 ameDt
that the order should read zone copy Of
the DAILY KEsSEBEc Journal and ont
other daily pader published in the State.
