After a long drawn out filibuster
in the house against the state-wloe
prohibition bill, a truce. was agreed
upon last Wednesday under when the
bin was finally passed by vote OF
5S TO 40. Both sides had been threat
ening to remain in session indefinitely
There had been numerous dilatory
motions, and the situation had grown
very wearisome. Indeed, 1t had begun
to look as If the appropriation and sup,
ply bills would not get through, and
II might be necessary to hold an extra
session. Finally, after the local option
people had persuaded themselves to
believe that the bill could not possi-
bly get through the senate at this ses-
sion, they proposed a truce that the
state widers were glad to agree TO ana
the bill was speedily brought 70
vote. If the state wide bill should pe-
come a law all dispensaries will be
closed on July / next, and after that
date there will be no provision for the
legal sale of liquor except through drug
stores under restrictions imposed In
the law.
"A small storm of talk was raised In
the house yesterday when Mr.. John G.
Richards. Jr., one Of the prohibition
leaders, wished to spread on the house
journal his reasons for supporting the
prohibition bills. His effort was op-
posed by Mr.. Mann, who two years ago
refused to vote for Senator Tillman
for United States senator and wished
the reasons for his action inserted IN
the journal, but was not allowed to DO
so. Mr.. Richards being one Of the op-
ponents Of Mr.. Manns efforts. Mr..
Mann's reasons, as he said, were that
Mr.. Tillman had made charges against
the ministers of the state, saying they
were in league with the liquor dealers.
Mr.. Richards said his case was diff
ferent, as he had been criticised for
his course with regard to prohibition
and wished to explain his position. A
feature was the defense OF Senator
Tillman by Messrs. Cosgrove and Rich
ards, and criticism Of Mr.. Mann's ac-
tion in making charges against Sena-
tor Tillman by Messrs. Garris and
Sawyer. Mr.. Mann wished to table
Mr.. Richards statement on reasons,
but was voted down.
