SMITH suggested. as far as the dis
cussion has gone II seems 10 rue that
it makes no material difference
whether tile State paper is located
here or in Portland but it does seem
to me to make a material difference
whether there is very limited cireu-
lation or whether the circulation is
large and there is no question in this
instance at all about the circulation
being very much larger in the case
of the Portland Press than 1t is in the
case of the New Age.
The SPEAKER: Is the House
ready for the question. The House
will recall that there are two reports
before it, one of the majority of the
committee reporting the bill in d new
draft, establishing the Portland Daily
Press as the State paper; the other
being the minority report, reporting
that the bill ought not to pass in
any form. The motion is made by the
gentleman from Augusta, Mr.. New
bert, that the minority report be
substituted for the majority report,
and be adopted as the opinion of the
House Those voting yes will vote for
ought not TO pass; those voting no
will vote for the establishment of a
State paper at Portland. the Portland
Press. In other words, those voting
yes will vote against any change;
those voting no viii vote for the
esta bishment of the Portland Press
as the State paper. The gentleman
from Presque Isle. Mr.. Smith, has
demanded the yeas and nays All
those favoring the demand will rise in
their places.
