er with their terms of office, politics
and religion

politics or religion of state officers
amounted to, and Mr.. Smoot agreed
with him. MIR. Peery said that so far
the appointments had been very one
sided, and he wanted to see if the
''holdovers" balanced things. There was
no opportunity for debate, however, as
Mr.. Peery accepted the amendment Of
fered by Mr.. Evans striking out poll
tics and religion" and the resolution
WIS -assed.

consider the vote by which the senate
refused to visit the Agricultural col
