must be protected at any cost. This advice
was acted on and Assemblyman Baker was
called to the chair temporary speaker
Mr.. Perkins was then elected speaker In
place of Mr.. Lethbridse.
Assemblyman Baker advised caution in
voting on measures. and said that it might
be necessary for the governor to call an
extra session. He advised conference
with Gov. Stokes for advice. Quiet was re-
stored in measure. Fifteen minutes later
Speaker Lethbridge returned and apollo
