THF LEADER-ENTERPRISE. TUESDAY JULY 23, 19)2.
Tippins Bill Passed By
Senate 35 to 8
Discarding five amendments
submitted by the opponents and
near-opponents of the measure
the thirty-two prohibitionists in
the state senate rallied three
more members to their standard
' today and passed the Tippins-Al
!exander anti-near-beer bill by a
| vote of 35 t« 8. It is now up to
tihe Governor.
The vote on the bill as a whole
came after two hours of rather
featureless and general debate,
in which the amendments were
disposed of in jig time, none re
ceiving more than 13 votes.
Senator L, C, Graham’s assertion
that Hooper Alexander, the prohi
bition leader in the House, had
played politics with the bill to dis
play his hatred of Governor Brown
and President Slaton’s threat to
arrest Spectators for disturbing
the deliberations with applause
proved the only sensations of the
day.
The bill passed as if by program,
It’s supporters moved according
to a preconceived plan. The op
position was as spiritless as it was
futile,
THESE AMENDMENTS WERE
VOTED DOWN
The amendments which were
lost in rapid succession were:
By Senator W, S, Mann: To sub
‘mit the bill to a vote of the peo
ple.
By Senator W, D, Crawford: To
strike out the clause calling every
beverage a “liquor.” ke
By Senator J. B. Douglass: To
gtrike out the clause including pro
prietary medicines and flavoring
extracts,
By Senator Dickerson: To strike
out the clause allowing beverages
containing one-half of one per
cent of alcohol to be sold.
By Senator L C. Graham: Te
place the enforcement of the bill
on county Sheriffs instead of the
governor.
Those Senators voting for the
bill were. Aaron, Adams, Beau
champ, Blalock, H. C. and A. O.
Bush,” Capelan, Cromartle, Cul
breth, Davis, Dickerson, Douglass,
Duggan, Edwards, Felker, Graham,
Hamilton, Harris, Hill, Hullender,
Hnighrt, Kincaid, Marshall, Mayson,
Moore, Oliver, Owen, Prather, Ro
berts, Shaw, Shingler, Sheppard,
Whitehead, Williams and Worley.
These voting against the bill were
Brown, Crawford, Enniss, Groven
stein, King, Mann, Morris and
Spenes.
Every Senator was in his seat
when the vote was taken and every
one voted but President Slaton.
Today's action means that the
bill will go at once to Governor
Brown for his approval or veto.
The chief executive declined to dis
cuss his probable action. It is
plainly evident that he will hold
the measure several days Dbefore
acting upon it. 1f he does not veto
it within five days it automatically
becomes alaw.
LEADERS FEARED SLIGHTEST CHANGE
Apparantly aware that any
delay would meaa the defeat of the
bill, Senator Bush, prohibition lead
er in the Senate, strove to keep the
bill from being amended.
“I wouldn't have the bill changed
even to the dotting of an ‘i, wheth
er it be right er wrong,” he asserted
‘when Senator Douglass submitted
‘an amendment striking the prohibi
ttion clauses affecting proprietary
medicine.
“Let the bill pass as it is,” cobr
tinued Senator Bush. “If it is a
mended here it will go back to the
house and get into that rules com
mittee there. If it does it will be
there until the end of the session.”
~ Senator Crawford saw Queer logic
in Bush’s remarks. He said, “The
Senator makes the novel proposal
to accept something we know to be
absurd just to get this'bill passed.”
The debate turned upon the so
called “Lemon extract jag,” Senator
Sheppard maintaining that the ex
tract intoxication was the worst
form known.
“Let us be rid of this curse,” he
shouted.

J. M. COLLUM, Principal, Americus, Georgia.
At this spectators in the gal
leries broke into applause. Pres
ident Slaton immediately rapped
fororder, creating a mild sensa
tion by threatening to hail the
offenders before the senate for
contempt. \
I will use the power of the
chair to lodge perpetrators of
any further disturbance in Ful
ton County jail. \
The president refused to:limit |
the debate to any one amend- |
ment. His ruling that any of l
the five amendments to the bill
could be discussed promiseuously
to a gerenal andrather incoherent
debate: Opponents and sapport
ers of the measure wrangled at
will,
Senator Graham blocked an
attempt“ to call a vobe by
insisting that he be allowed a
hearing on his amendment strik
ing out the word govermor and
substitating the word county}
sheriffs. |
GRAHAM ATTACKS BOOPER
ALEXANDER.
Senator Graham accused Hoop
er Alexander of playing mere
politins in his advocaecy of the
bild |
This section which throws the
enfsrcement upon the governor
‘was a mere trick actuated by Al
exander’s hatred to the present
governor of Georgia.
| This Tippins-Alexander bill is
not the Tippins bill of last year
when another governor was in
the chair’’, he said.
Senator Bush, in his zeal to
forestall amendments, launched
into an attack on the sheriffs.
-He said, “I don’t think the
sheriffs of Georgia have been
powerful slow in enforcing the
prohibition law, especially when
they get free stuff.”
Senator Mann, author of the
referendum amendment, refer
red to the recent gubernatorial
race as proof of the fact that
popular sentiment was against a
change in the prohibition law, at
last without a referendum.
