Hartford Representative Kopple- man Of Hartford tried to have the house go on record as criticizing. by Inference, Senators Mclean and Brandegee. and though he mustered majority Of those present, he did not get enough to get his resolution be- fore the house This required two thirds vote. He got 80 votes, but he needed s4 The resolution he offered was in praise of President Taft's veto Of the ,BurnettDilllngham immigra- sson bill, and urging the representa- iives and senators Of this state to support the veto. Representative Healy. the Republican leader. at once objected. on the ground that the two Republican Senators Of the state had already gone on record against the i'm migration bill, and he didn't believe the Connecticut assembly wanted to indulge in that kind of q resolution. which was national business. and not state business.
 Haynes Backs Healey.
 Mir. Haynes of Old Lyme backed Mir. Healey MT. Koppleman said the legislature in years gone by has gone one record time and time again in matters Of national legislation The speaker ruled that a tWo-thirds vote vas necessary to suspend the rules. The rule was declared suspended on the strength Of the volume of sound. nut doubt was raised and the count showed the motion to suspend the rule failed to secure two-thirds. The vote vas 80 to e0 It would require 94 votes to secure the consent Of ths house 10 consider the resolution

 There Is pending before your hon erable body bill drawn fin accord. hnce with the recommendation in my inaugural message to consolidate the direction Of the agricultural interests Of the state under single head, 10 be known as the commissioner Of agricul- fure. should you. however. not think proper to enact this bill it would be necessary to make some change in ine general statutes, Section 4365, un. der the terms of which the governor ls required during the present term to name member Of the board from the First congressional district A similar provision is made for the ap- pointment of member from the See and congressional district. and an other from the Fourth congressional district in 1915. If the existing scheme of administration shall be preserved. ii Is obvious that provision should be made by law for the appointment Of member of the state board Of agrieul- ture from the Fifth congressional dis triet.
