What has not happened before in
many years was the clearing OF the
floor of the joint Assembly Of all not
entitled to the privilege.
When the President of the Senate
gave the order to clear the floor he
simply garfield out the resolution, but
he gave decided shock to the many
visitors.
There was such an outpour Of visi
tors that three sides OF the gallery
were soon filed with those interested
in the dispensary elections and those
who had for days been pulling for the
various dispensary positions.
No elections in recent years approSl-
