the contest to the committee on cleo

the Bennett contest had beer mem

of them predicted that it would die
in committee or would be side track
ed IN some manner.
The Democratic conference had a
long discussion over rule proposed
by the Republican members that the
Legislators remain in Dover four
nights a week for Legislature or
committee meetings. Some OF the
Democratic members in conferenc,
protested against night sessions at
