'lattol Of ,@ll precedSnts relative to the |
measure coming from the executive,
through Senator Collier raised the point !
of order that the time for introducing
bills had passed. Lieutenant Governor
Gordon ruled in accordance with the

Gliding 70. SUPPORT the constitutional
amendment proposition, which was
passed the next day after. having been
amanded so a. to. limit senatorial rep.
resentatton to SIX from any county.
This gives the senators who oppose
>reappoEtionment an excuse for not :vot-
Ing on >the question until after the !
constitational:;, amendment has been
passed on: BY the: people. It is gen.
orally regarded ~ a. subterfuge., The
governor refuses. to say whether or
not he will cali an extra session, but
will probably do so unless the senate
definitely goes on record on the new
:reapportionment bill by Hanson, which
has since besn introduced. His idea
is to ok the responsibility where it
belongs.
