Speaker Lees motion prevailed by a
vote of "a to so.

The speaker, while being committed
to local self-government for the coun-
ties. pointed out that if the Democrats
did not hold on to all they had, and
protect these organizations in the
counties in which they were not
strong, the Democratic organiza-
tion might Just as well disband. lie
said that the measure was to repeal
one adopted at the last Legislature,
and would take the appointing power
away from State road commissioners
and place it with the county commits
sioners. Speaker Lee said that he IA
vored local self-government in coun-
ties, except where it broke into party
lines.
He was strongly supported in his
argument by Delegate James j. Lind

said that the Democrats should adhere
to party lines and protect the men in

Delegate Daniel C. Joseph argued

of other counties.
Delegate Robert l.. Lednum. Demo

this was not a local government bill,
but political bill, and that if the

would not be in the legislature. Del
