when those advertisements were sent
! out?
low me to send to the judiciary room
VIII md out for him; cannot tell him
orhand. / simply sent down there to
find out whether they were advertised.
| Mr.. MURRAY of Bangor: Mr..
! Speaker. l was in the corridor yester-
day, and l heard a member of the
judiciary committee speaking to the
! clerk of that committee about the adj
vertising, and it seems that they must
| have arranged something about not
advertising it because my brother
Brewster tells me that it is not in this
advertising
| Mr.. GOLDTHWAIT: Mr.. Speaker,
think as l said before that that bill
only reached the judiciary committee
yesterday. Now if that advertising has
been ordered, it has only recently been
sent out and it could be recalled This
order was presented, or at least the
gentleman tried to present it yester-
day. but in some way adjournment
came so quickly that it did not get in.
I
time before anything had been done on
the matter by the judiciary committee.
In view of the fact that that order was
attempted to be introduced yesterday
and the further fact that the matter
has not gone any further than it has,
still hope that the gentlemen will be
fair in this matter
Mr.. COLE of Eliot: Mr.. Speaker, in
reply to the inquiry of the gentleman
from Biddeford (Mr GoldthwaiD the
clerk of the judiciary is here and he
says that it was sent out yesterday af-
ternoon to every daily paper in the
State
The SPEAKER: The question be-
fore the House is on the motion of the
gentleman from Houlton. Mr. Barnes,
that we reconsider the vote whereby
the order was passed.
A viva voce vote being taken,
The motion was lost.
Mr.. COLE of Eliot: Mr.. Speaker,
while there is no motion before the
House it seems to me that if | may be
allowed just moment in all fairness
and Justice to the people. If this mat
ter is going to the committee on sea
and shore fisheries. that committee
should arrange to hear what people
come here next Tuesday.
The SPEAKER: The Chair would
suggest that this is a joint order and
it has to go to the Senate. OF course
no one knows what the outcome may
be. The point is, gentlemen. that the
House is not competent to arrange by
its action any hearing so far as the
newspaper notices are concerned
Mr.. HARRINGTON of Augusta: Mr..
Speaker, it seems to me 1t would be
perfectly possible, and it does not
strike me that it would affect the le~
gality OF the procedure at ALL if this
matter were heard by the sea and
shore fisheries committee at the time
advertised if it should go through the
Senate, that could easily be taken care
of in a short time. l would frankly
say to the House as a member of the
judiciary committee that that bill is
one peculiarly within the knowledge of
the sea and shore fisheries committee
and it ought properly to go there. |
had forgotten the fact that there were
two good lawyers on that committee,
and it seems to me they are well able
to take care of it,
Mr.. GOLDTHWAIT Of Biddeford:
Mr.. Speaker, | might say perhaps, in
reply to the gentleman from Augusta,
Mr.. harrington, that the sea and shore
fisheries committee has only one mat
ter to hear next Tuesday and they
could readily take care of this matter.
Mr.. BREWSTER of Portland: Mr..
Speaker, if in order, l understand the
Senate is still in session and / move
that this be sent over Immediately to
them by the messenger. We might get
quicker action in that way.
The motion was agreed to and the
order sent to the Senate for concur
renee.
