been one OF the faculty of Hamilton
College will be chairman of the TAXA
ton Committee Of the Senate wnicn
has charge Of excise legislation. This
committee, which was appointed by J.
Henry Walters, as Republican leader, Is
supposed to be decidedly wet, unless
Republican party caucus In the Senate
forces the ratification resolution out OF
the committee for action by the Senate.
BY a strange coincidence the chair
man of the Assembly judiciary Commit
tee. Louis NJ Martin. who also comes
from Clinton. Oneida county. will have
charge OF the prohibition ratification
measure In the lower house.
