hti NduSC was NlSOIOuSlH supporter /
by Senator Simpson, of Hudson, who
moved for the passage of the bills.
Speaker Case, however, declared sem
ator Simpson out of order, ruling that
the senate had been called in special
session for the express purpose of con-
frming nominations by the governor
and that its activities, under the Con-
situation, must be confirmed exclusive
ly to that purpose.

most pronounced type to close the eyes

In view of the widespread opposition
