duccd. They were passed to the sec
end reading. Tho first bill, whichpr
viHed Tor the amendment of the regis
lration laws, was introduced by Mr.
Gregory.
, 1t embodied the changes desired by

" appointed times for registration, and
no certificates 10 register can be is
sued latfr than the Friday preceding

| Mr.. Coulter introduced the third bill.

contains Il provision by which the pro.
cecdings may be expedited.
Bill No. 4. introduced by Mr.. Ketm.
provides for the manner of removing
state elective officers when charges
are filed. and follows closely the law

peal. 1t also provides that the proue.
dure shall be FASTENED. M

ture following its meeting the second
Wednesday in January. Judicial DO
sitions are covered by the measure In
