Although it is wall’understood' that the house could, by a three-fourths vote, change the rule with reference to the days on which senate bills can be read In the house a third time, It has been specifically stated by Mr. Wright, of Floyd, who Is the moving spirit in the fight ror the bill, that he will make no effort whatever to bring up the bill for consideration out of Its regular order. Being senate bill No. 1, It Is due to be read a third time Wednesday and put upon Its passage. Should the friends of the measure deelre to exercise the right of the ma jority and bring up the bill Tuesday, it is most probable that this would not be done, in deference to Speaker 81a' ton, who has invited the general as' semhly to attend the annual barbecue Tuesday afternoon. Only First Round Won. Sines the undisguised effort of the opponents of the bill to prevent the second reading Friday, and their fail ure to block It except for a few hours, thtr« has been much speculation as to what course they will take next Wed nesday. That they are In a hopeless minority and that the best that can be done Is to stave off Its passage for s short time Is evident. Yet It Is con fidently believed that the fight made Friday was only the preliminary skir mish, and that the real, opposition to the measure will develop when the final issue comes for a settlement. In regard to this effort to block the passage of the bill, Mr. Wright, of Floyd, voiced the sentiment, as he de clared. of three-fourths of the house when he cried: "One-fourth of the members of this bouse can't make the others bow down to them. They may consume this en tire session In filibustering against this bill; they may even secure an extended session, but we'll hold them In their seats, so help us Sod, until this bUI Is Passed." History of the Bill. Following the passage of the Hard man prohibition bill In the aenate, the committee on temperance from the lo»er house during the latter part of Inst week announced Its Intention to substitute this measure for the Covlng- [on-N'eel prohibition bill then pending In the house, and which was an exact copy of t |,e senate bill. This action ''"as taken In order to save time and bssten the passage of tho measure. After several meetings, during which ample opportunity was given for the friends and oppcSienta of the bill to thoroughly discuss It, the committee met Tuesday at noon and voted to rec ommend It for passage after making a few amendments. The most Important amendment made by the house committee was to make stringent the section with refer ence to the sale of alcohol by drug- Itst* and the giving of prescriptions ■or Intoxicants by physicians. 'in last Wednesday morning the bill * as favorably reported to the house “f fhe committee. ■‘■nee Monday and Friday are the only legal day, upon which aenate bills can be read a second time, no effort made to have the measure read until Friday, and this necessary step "as accomplished only after a hard nghi and after the house had been In •c»»lon from 10 o'clock Friday mom ma until J: 30 o’clock In the afternoon. How They Voted. Although Mr. Hall, of Bibb, la op- P'.'*d to the bill he voted Friday to "nve It read a second time. In ex- Plaining his vote. Mr. Hal) declared mat he had no sympathy with the ef- mrt to delay bringing the measure to ■n (Mu*. •Mr Ryals, of Bibb. also voted to "* Ve the bill read a second time, but ’Tis the Will of the People And Shall Become the Law. In an interview Saturday morning Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Floyd, the great champion of the Hardman-Covington prohibition measure in the house, said: “For the ilrst time in the history of Georgia an effort was made on Fri day to prevent the reading of a bill in the legislature the second time. The friends of the measure, taking no chances, were in their seats and the effort was crushed in its incipiency. “The vote on the second reading demonstrated conclusively that three- fourths of the members of the house are for the bill as amended by the house committee. “It is more than probable that filibustering tactics will be resorted to Wednesday on the passage of the bill. If so, they will be met with a spirit never before witnessed in the house. The majority will enter the house Wed nesday determined to keep their seats until the bill is passed if it takes the re mainder of the session, night and day. We will retire one by one for lunch and sleep in our seats. . v “THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS GREAT QUESTION WILL BE CRYSTALLIZED INTO LAW. “NO EARTHLY POWER CAN PREVENT IT.” EVERY ROUND WAS WON BY SUPPORTERS OF BILL Hardman prohibition bill Introduced In senate on opening day.
