The paragraph is as follows:
Mr. Johns presented petitions from 1855
voters and 2099 minors over eighteen, and
women from forty-two counties asking for
the enactment OF a county local option law.
Which were referred 10 committee teni-
perance.
The name should be Mr.. Johnson,
and not Mr.. Johns as it was the former
who presented the petition.

places urge the passage of H. r. 81, IL

was ordered SO referred without read
ing.
Mr.. Johns stirred up quite a little de-
bate by asking that the function Of
the house committee on public build
lngs, Of which he is chairman. be
more clearly defined. Mr.. jacobson
peneVed that there was nothing which
could be said upon the matter, unless
1t was that Mr.. Johns wished to reach
out after new power and wanted the
mousse to go on record as giving it to
him. Mr.. Johns resented this and went
as far as to say that he was even
unwilling to shirk any duties belong
Representative Staples prevented
bloodshed by expressing the view that
the committee, like all others, had but
to do with matters referred to them
for consideration and action. With
this Mr.. Johns appeared to be salts
fed.
