Mr. Perry, of lull, and Mr. Akin, of Bartow, opposed It. Mr. Kelly, of Glascock, moved the previous question. Mr. Hall demandsd the yeas and nays.

Mr. Wright, of Richmond, urged the passage of the bill. He said that If the governor should die there would be no body to call the legislature Into session lo elect another. He favored the elec tion of a possible suoceseor lo the governor by the people. He showed how the present legislature will cease to exist on the Unit Wednesday of next October, and should the governor die between that date and tha fpurth Wed nesday In June, there would be no president of the senate to succeed to the vacant place. .... Mr. Felder asked If It would not be unwise to provide that a lieutenant S ovemor preside over the senate, when e might be entirely unfamiliar with parliamentary law and the senate rules "Any man who will give forty-eight hours' study of the ruls book," rspllsd Mr. Wright, "will know enough to pre side over the senate.” Seaborn Wright, of FJoyd, spoke elo quently In support of the bill, claiming a round of applause from the usually Indifferent house.

The original bill wa» put upon Ha rassage and Mr. Felder opened the de bate against It. He said the lleuten- antfovemor would he a kind of lll«e monkey with a silk hat and maybe a few stars on Ids shoulders to go around and make speeches when the governor '* Mr.*Flynt, of Spalding, led the debate In favor of the bill. Messre.. Anderaon, Wilcox. Steed and Perry followed, speaking for the measure. "Any candidate who survives th# present campaign ought to be good for 100 years,” said Mr. Perry. Wheatley Bill Killed.

Th# commlttso reported favorably on the substitute. The voto showed 22 yeas and 44 nays, tho substitute fulling for luck of a two-thlnls vote.
