constitution.
"a new governor will be elected four
years hence" said aCrpneter, "on
platform declaring for four years OF
political rest"

ever, by vote Of 10 to 9, and 1t IL
likely that his resolution will be given
the preference over the one written
by the governor.

prise by offering a motion instruct
ing the committee on constitutional
amendments to bring out all resolu-
tions now in the hands OF that COM

that there had been opposition In the
committee to several of the admins
tratlOn measures.

Court reform" was the subject to
which Governor Williams devoted
more than half of his message to the

the passage Of his resolution on this
question he will have suffered Sc

Opposition to the railroad hospital
bill developed as soon as 1t was
called. The senate and house bills
being alike, they were considered to-
gether. On motion OF Senator Thomas
the bill was referred to special
committe Of five, with instructions
to redraft the bill so as to give the
corporation commission adeqaute
power to require hospitals for railroad
