BITTLE DIIEfI TIPPIHS BILL IS NEURINE ITSEIO Anderson to Close for Foes of Measure With Defense of Governor Brown. GALLERIES CROWDED AS FIGHT NEARS ITS FINISH Referendum Amendment Now Thought Likely to Pass—The Friends of Act Confident. TYn* big battle over the Tippins bill «-as resumed in the house of represen tatives this morning, immediately after the speaker called that body to order. Yesterday’s sensational developments, with Mr. Alexander’s vehement attack en Governor Brown and Mr. Hall’s epually vehement defense of the chief magistrate, served to fill the galleries again, and the practical certainty of a vote along about noon filled every member’s seat with a real member. With the night came renewed opti mism in the ranks of the Tippins bill advocates. Today they are claiming the bill’s passage by a two-thirds vote, although a majority will put it through. Referendum Now Likely to Paes. Contrary to the idea entertained by Its friends when it was first called up, It now seems likely that the Tippins bill will pass with the referendum amendment attached. if it does, the governor will sign it promptly. If it does not, there is no reason to believe he has weakened in his determination to veto It. The bill, with the numerous amend ments offered, will come up for passage at the conclusion of Mr. Beck's argu ment. which will be liimted to twenty minutes, and should begin not later than 12 o’clock. Anderson to Close For Bill’s Foes. Mr. Beck is the acting chairman of the temperance committee, and is, therefore entitled to the closing speech in favor of the measure. Representative Randolph Anderson, of Savannah, will deliver the closing argument against the bill and in favor of his "local option” substitute at 11 o’clock. He will be allowed 45 minutes. A a he Is the leader of the opposi tion, his address will be easily the big feature of today’s session. Mr. Anderson is expected, in the course of hie remarks today, to take direct and emphatic issue with Repre sentative Alexander, not only with re spect to the Tippins bill but ar- to the governor and his alleged failure to do all within his power to enforce the present prohibition law, as weir as all other laws. Mr. Anderson 1s said to resent deeply the DeKalb man’s attack on Governor Joseph M. Brown.
