champion Of the measure now before the
general assembly. The crowd was swelled
by lo0e Of the local temperance element.
The big hall Of the house Of delegat ties
was given over for the hearing and not

in the chamber crowded. but there was
big jam in the galleries and corridors
near the dOorways- In fact. several hun
dred persons found it impossible to gain
admission.

senate temperance committee. presided.
and altogether about twenty-five speeches
were made. the speakers including clergy
