wish to say that did not say cheap
| fairs
] Mr.. HAYES. continuing: Mr.
Speaker perhaps l was wrong in that,
| but l will get around it this way and
L will say that all fairs are cheap
| fairs. Nauehter) We do not have
| any very high-p priced fairs in the
| State of Maine. Now / am not going
| to take any further time here. be-
cause my Brother Phillips has cover
| ed the ground that l was going to
| take, and l hope that his motion will
prevail.
| Mr.. STURGIS Of Auburn: Mr..
| Speaker, some of you know probably
| that l represent the farmers in my
| locality. l happen to belong to the
| Grange. I think you will all agree
with me that if you go into any town
| in Maine and find live business man
| doing business, and doing it six days
| in the week, he is the man who ad-
| vertises. The man who fails to ad-
yertise is back number today. That
! is my opinion. / think my Brother
| (My Hayes) kind of insulted the
| Grange when he represented that
they were rather weakened. and
if motion is made there it would go
through. He might practice that here
in this honorable body. but there is
| opposition sometimes to motions put
in the Grange. They do not all go
through in soft slippers.
! Now in regard to cheap fairs, I beg
| to differ with the gentleman. If he
wants to go along under the bright
| lights where they put across things
that are not presentable. he may go
| that way. Some of us go there for
what we can see and learn in regard
| to the different things that are there
| on exhibition. We have fine cattle
| at those fairs. we have fine fruits,
and we have great many fine eX-
hibits there. Now this exposition at
Springfield is clean, it is run above
| board, and l believe that it would be
| of great benefit to the State of Maine
| to show to the world-it is not limit
| ed to the United States. but people
come there from all over the world.
different parts of the world. to see
| what we can put out, in products
| from our little State of Maine. Now
as l understand it this proposition
will be self sustaining and a little
more. We are called every year to
pay $500 to defray expenses of ex-
hibting our farm products there. and
this would eliminate that. 1 certain
| ly favor this exposition building.
The SPEAKER: The question be-
/ fore the House is on the motion of
the gentleman from Orrington, Mr..
| Phillips
Mr.. HAYES of Chelsea: Mr. Speak
err. I would just like to say a word
| in regard to the matter of fairs. The
| gentleman from Auburn. Mr.. Sturgis,
| says that we can go to fairs and see
the good things and we need not go
to these cheap fairs unless we want
to. Now I have been to fairs all over
| this State. and l never was at a fair
/ yet but what L saw quite lot of
good things exhibited; but at the
same time 1 never was at a fair that
1 did not see things in the midway
| that ought not be there. and I do
not believe that the gentleman ever
was. either.
Mr.. STURGIS: Mr.. Speaker. I
have been to Sunday school con-
vention when everything did not go
| just as 1 would like to have it.

| The SPEAKER pro tenn: The
| question before the House is on the
motion of the gentleman from Or
rington. Mr.. Phillips. to indefinitely
postpone House Bill No. 214. a re-
! solve in favor of the erection of a
State of Maine Building on the
| grounds of the Eastern States Agri-
| cultural and Industrial Exposition,
Inc. at West Springfield, Massachu-
setts Is the House ready for the
question?
| The question being called for,
A viva voce vote was doubted. and
| n 1ivicinnt Of
for by Mr.. Phillips of Orrington.
| A division of the House being had,
twcntythree voting in the affirm
ative and % in the negative,
the motion to indefinitely POSTPONE
| was lost, and the resolve was finally
passed.
At this point Speaker Holly re-
sumed the Chair and Mr.. Hale of
| Portland retired amid the applause Of
! the House.
Mr.. Granville of Parsonfield pres
ented the following order, out Of or
| der. and moved it's passage:
Ordered. that the Governor be re-
| quested to return fto the House an
| act to amend Section So of Chapter
| III of the Revised Statutes. as
amended by Chapter "a of the Public
Laws of 1919. relating to the Board
| of Osteopathic Examination and
| Registration
| Mr.. MAHER Of Augusta: Mr..
| Speaker, ! rise to a point of order.
and ! ask for a ruling as to whether
| or not this House has any control
over document that has passed to
| the Executive Department?
The SPEAKER: The Chair will
| state that the House may request
| from the Governor the return of. any
bill before the Governor at any time
before it becomes a law.
| A viva voce vote being doubted. a
reading of the order was requested
by Mr.. Hobbs of Houlton.
(Order read by the clerk.)
The SPEAKER: Now the Chair
feels forced to read. because Of the
desire evident on the part Of some
members not to recall the document,
| communication from the Governor
to the Speaker:
Il am sending in a veto message
to take care Of a technical error and
this is the very last day for doing
so. If you can get some member to
recall the Act from the Governor 1t
would save vetoing and a roll call.
II always prefer to do this but
some members of the House seem
to resent my having errors corrected
and so must veto it unless this can
be taken care Of in a more comfort
able fashion. I leave 1t for you to
decide. The Act relates to the $500
a day payment to several boards Of
