cerncd. TO advance measure a
TWO thirds vote is necessary, and the

Der required by law. The result
causes no end Of surprica and chagrin

The measure was considered under
suspension Of the rules, and the
common report is that the demo-
Gratis got an inkling that the re-
publicans were planning to use the
passage of the measure as campaign
material to, advance. the interests OF
the party with the Negro voters at
the fall election; hence. the demo-
Gratis many Of them said to be in
favor Of the bill, drew the party
line and allowed it to go down in
defeat. The conservative democrats
had been lined up for it, because
there was a strong argument made
that the exposition would be held
in the South and that much good
would accrue to that section by rca-
son of the money that would flow in
and the advertisement that it would
give to its industrial and agricultu-
raj resources. But, twas not to
