VIII you do so?
the biggest court in the state has
| PASSED upon ii and by a majority oil
over 25,0O0. 1t is not for a handful
OF candidates to say 1t is not the
law"
Mr.. McNeal said the grandfather
clause, If Ii Is a law, had been fully
covered in the Republican resolution
and that the Democratic proposition
was simply a ruse TO get into the
records. You are asking too much,
he said. Il have heard nothing in
this state for four years but niger,

vember s, will settle the matter of
whether you Democrats are honest or
not"
cumbie's objection
Mr.. Cumbie, during the colloquy
with MI Cruce, declared that he was
in favor Of the Democratic PROPOSE
tion, but that it contained too many
words Mrs Brandstetter left the
reservation long enough to suggest
that each section be subscribed TO
separately, but neither she nor any
others who offered suggestions con
|trary to the concocted plan of the Re-
publicans were permitted to change
the order of things and Chairman
Keyes ruled that the vote should
be taken by roll call. McNeal voted
twenty-four votes against the Demo-
cratic resolution. Mr.. Cruce twenty
four for it, and Mr.. Cumbe sixteen
votes against it, the number of votes
in each case representing the num-
ber of state candidates on each ticket
So the Republicans had forty votes
against the resolution and the Demo
Gratis twenty-four for IT,
Following is the resolution agreed
to by the Democrats. 1t embodies
the Republican resolution, all of
which was subscribed to the full lin.
!. of the law, and the amendment
which the Democrats attached. The
Democratic candidates signed the en-.
tire resolution, while the Republicans
signed only their end of it.
