A. mas been pointed OUT in the TELEGRAM
III Democrats vii hev- \ fl,r---fifth's
majority IN each branch Of the legislature.
mus sivirE them constitutional majority
10 override any OF the Governors vstoes.
Because af the peculiar political com.
p'zx.17 G. the STATE government il is be.
l5ve1 that the Democratic majority will
pass ali of the big and in1D0ri3nt hills
early in the session. 50 as 10 prevent the
Governor from killing anv measures
which are Of vital interest 10 the Demo.
cratic party and likewlse of interest to the
people of the state from Democratic
viewpoint.
As might be exDected some obiections
have been raised 10 the formation of this
committee and il has been asserted that
he committee has no real legal standing.
50 far as legislation is concerned. The
committee i composed of Ioval and true
Democra,s. men who have fought the
battles o. the party m season and out of
season. and men who have the welfare
and success Of the party {, heart. When
the committee was named. /, was real.
iz-d bv its advocates that il has no legal
standing but at the same time if is adj
riti-d by all Democrats that no real *.
cuse can be raised either against lis ar.
gauIzauoa or its work. It is no, the Dur
pose Of Ibis committee to sunetsede the
Democratic legislature and fnis thouobt
is lar remote from the minds OF the mem.
be-s OF the committee. II is realized bv
every member of the legislature and
every Democrat that the preparation Of
parry bills. as vel, as other general and
important Democratic measures raouires
much though. and attention. Thos4 be-
hind the committee say that the nnrnosa
