been Internationally repealed at the last session OF

listing Eastern Shore feature was Incorporated UNI
changed in the new bill. but the measure was 80
loaded down with amendments that substitute
was finally drafted and rushed through both
ranches OF the Legislature In some way, when
no one seems able to explain. the re-enactinent OF
the Eastern Shore provision was overlooked or pur.
posely omitted The law was Ignored by the recent
General Assembly as having no binding force. al
though IL had been until then the settled policy or
the State almost from the beginning Of the Federal
Government. A great howl went up from the Demo
cratic Senate when IL was proposed TO nominate
Mr. Wellington 10 succeed Mr.. Gibson In the United
States Senate. and a resolution was adopted pro-
testing against the proposed violation. Subsequent
iy the Senate refused to pass the usual resolution
asking the Governor TO Issue commission TO the
