legislative committees which will sit in
the contests for Governor and Lieuten-
amt Governor were drawn by lot today

nine on the Lieutenant Governor contest.
The committee to hear the Governorship

Senators Frazier, Allen and Crenshaw.
and Representatives Hickman, Berry,

he hadn't asked many questions before
it became apparent that he had cut the
ground from underneath Linney's feet.
How can you charge that fraud IS TO be
committed in the futureE How can
you get the question before the courts
until people register under its provl-
sionS?' were some of the staggering
questions which he propounded. lie
then outlined his line which is IN brief
this Do nothing except denounce the
election law until the books are open
for registration, then i'll every county in
the State begin an action whenever a
register of elections refuses to register
any man who desires to vote, and then
have the courts declare the law illegal
and unconstitutional. He argued against
any action by the Republicans until after
the recess session of the Legislature
and its sine die adjournment. In re-
sponse 90 that suggestion. Mr.. Linney
maintained that if the courts declared
the present vicious election law Illegal,
the Legislature would not then pass a
law anything like the present. Pritchard
said that the Legislature had adjourned
for the very purpose of fixing up anoth-
or election law if the present was set
aside by the Supreme court. and that
taking early action would be playing into
the hands of the Democrats.
Pritchard's speech carried the day and
il w;lS the sense of the meeting that no
action to test the election law be taken
until registration begins just previous
TO the election.
