Speaker, Sennett Connors, Is himself
one OF Governor Russelrs political
opponents. there Is much discussion
already as to the introduction with
In the very near future OF a resolu-
ton calling for impeachment.
Among the more conservative
members such a course is being OPP
posed on the ground that no i'm

initiated until the matter has been
adiudicafed in the courts.
This argument is comhatted on
the ground that the Federal Court
