VISITORS DENIED ADMISSION TO
FLOOR OF HOUSE.
At Least, Resolution Passed Friday
so ProEides.-Even Lobbyists"
Must Keep Out.

How long it will last is the ques
ton. Friday the House adopted
resolution, the intent and purpose OF
which is to clear the door and back
aisle of all except members. Under
the rules State officers, Judges, for
mer members, Senators, trustees and
officers Of State colleges are permit
ted on the floor Of the House. Fri
day the old-time custom Of permit
ting delegations. interested parties
and perhaps lobbyists" access to the
floor was put under the ban.
No women, except one, the StAe
librarian, under the Welch resolu-
ton, will be entitled to admission to
the main floor Of the House. The
House then went step further and
requested the Speaker not to exer-
else his privilege Of issuing cards OF
admission. After il was all over,
Speaker Smith thanked the members
for their consideration in relieving
him Of the difficulty of determining
who should be granted cards and
who should not be.
This is not intended to mean that
the House will not want visitors, nor
that it will not want audiences to
hear the oratory Of its gifted mem
bers-not at all. It wants audiences
and wants them regularly, but II
wants them in the galleries, and to
that end, as soon as the ban was
placed on visitors on the floor Of the
House, resolution was adopted au-
thorizing the purchase Of plenty OF
chairs, cushioned ones if need be,
but they are to be distributed in the
gallery.
The real difficulty is that the
acoustics OF the House are vile and
.be members who have rear seats
can make themselves heard with diff
f,cul,y, and they want to get rid OF
the groups Of enthusiastic takers,
wbo hold daily conferences on the
progress of the campaign for their
candidate for this or that Office. II
there be real lobbyists, they know
pretty well how to see those they
might want to see without interrupt.
