tho opening OF the session showed tho
effects Of careful deietion, or the influ.
ence Of highly conservative Democratic
leaders. There was nothing sensational
in It and nothing to offend anyone who
voted the Democratic or even the Re.
publican ticket at the recent election.
Chairman Dunlap appeared in tho role
OF teacher and confidential advisor TO

Legislation" AS chairman OF the DEM
ocratic executive committee, Mr.. Dunlap
laid down what he considered the de-
sires Of the Democratic party and rec
commended the following action on the
following subjects:
Passage of a "clear" budget law.
making the governor responsible for all
items contained in the budget.
2-Partial abolition Of the department
of agriculture and the Limitation Of ap.
