ng to derogatory statements affecting

iebate and was finally killed by an over
Vhelming refusal to give it q third read
ng. In order to make sure that the
deceased should not be revived, Mr. Tracy
" Johnson moved for q reconsideration.
which was refused with a thunderous
mo-"
All the excitement over s. IA started
when 1t came up for a third reading
lnder favorable majority report from
he committee on banking and insur-
nee. Mr.. Tracy at once attacked the
ill with fervor, saying that he hoped
hat the people of Vermont would for
ime maintain the right of free speech.
nd not let banks and bank directors
muzzle their mouths" Mr.. Tracy main
aimed that If this bill was passed IT
you'd be impossible for lawyers to advise
heir clients properly, or for friends to
dvise each other as they should in re-
ard to deposits in certain banks.
Mr.. Carpenter of Richford defended the
i'll and said that it was not aimed
gainst free speech or against the peo-
lie In any way, but was rather for the
eneht of the people who had small saw
lgs In the banks Of the State and who
houid be protected against malicious
umors which might be circulated to do
arm to those banks.
