! the members of the Senate not to lot
| down the bars. The beauties of the
Geran law and of the present Corrupt
Practices act were polluted out and Mr..
Davis said that to incorporate the Lea
witt bill into the present law would de-
| stroy much of its good effect. He char

his maiden effort Wednesday afternoon
