OF the late Major Lewis Ginter, came up
on its passage, ana was opposed by Mr. |

also Mr.. Reddy, after which il was

Afternoon Session.
Mr.. Reddy endeavored at the afternoon |
session to have his bill in regard to /
senatorial primaries made specia. order |

ders objected. The Delegate from Frank |
lin said as ii was evident that the |
measure would be Overwhelmingly de-
feated in the Senate. that il was useless
for the House to waste time in it's con-
when there was no chance
OF its becoming a law. The motion to
make the bill a special order was then
defeated.
