1t is probable that the petitions on

were becoming thoroughly aroused

AN ATTEMPT TO DODGE.


There was determined effort on
the part of a section of the House of
Delegates to dodge a vote on the
Mann bill. The aim was to send il
to the conference committee without
a recorded vote, and thus escape the
condemnation of either the LIQUOR
sellers or the Anti-Saloon men. But
Mr.. Davis, of Petersburg, forced the
issue and compelled the House to vote
separately on the Mann bill amend
ment, as to whether it should 90 to
conference committee or be adopted
by the House. The vote on this
motion was 36 to Sc. 1t required
two-iifths of the House, or 40 votes,
to adopt the amendment, and so the
bill went to conference. The vote
is given:
