Democrats Attack Bill.
Nearly every Democrat on the floor
attacked the bill when II was placed

Lowe. who were attacked bitterly by
the Governor. according to reports, in
a speech at Morgantown about two
weeks ago. took occasion. in their re-
marks opposing the bill TO retaliate
and defend themselves.
Senator Lowe was especially caus-
tic In his remarks "He referred to
us. said Senator Lowe. Democrats
and Republicans alike. who did not
agree with him. as being controlled by
the interests. Now look at this bill
and say. IL you will. who is controlled

The Republicans OF the House were
called into a caucus this afternoon
In which IL was reported that they
agreed 10 pass the bill I'm that body.
