"Not a BIT Of it" SAID the dealer.
"They want the Bibles because they

his position to ali who cared TO hear,
and resourceful I'm his parliamentary
skill. Around him gathered those who
were opposed to the searching provis-
ions Of the origin@ bill and the minor
ity grew with rapidity.
Only those who watched that debate
ever knew the wires drawn and confer.
ences held. but through the relentless
battles for and against the measure, or
iglnal and as amended, Davis and Bill
lHps fought the contest TO a draw.
The amended prohibition enforce.
ment measure had the Davis support
and IL was the added dispensary that
brought on the second debate, finally
settled by Governor Haskell asking
the senate TO pass the measure, Davis
going to a lone defeat when the final
roll was called.
Strange as Il may seem. with the ex-
ception Of the prohibition bill and two
others, Billups and Davis closed their
dsNs IN the senate as warriors for the
same measures and out OF the ter
rife debates and hard campaigns waged
went otheir respective homes two
young men who viii enter the next
