siders II has gained a point The
Senate, as was expected, refused to
concur In the House proposal OF
amendment to the Cushman bill
which was the substitution of the
House bill When this had been
done Senator Archibald called VI
the original House bill. which had
( been laid on the table, and the
Senate killed 1t. This move leaves
the Cushman bill the ONLY one that
can be considered by the con-
ference committee which both bran
ches have agreed to appoint. oak
er Howe has already named the
House conferees who are Mr.. Flet-

not been appointed yet, but it is
safe to say that Senator Archibald
will be one of the members and
those who are familiar with his
pugnaciousness are looking for
some warm sessions OF the commit
tee. The last vote taken on the
question showed no signs OF waver-
ing among the supporters of the
Cushman bill. +. j. Hall OF Ben

time and had asked his friends not
to urge his appointment upon the
Governor when he learned that the
Governor was leaning toward Mr..
Warner as q means CT paying noll
tical debt.
