Engross Attention
House Next Few
Day3
Austin, Feb. 15.—Restoration of
the political rights of former Gov-
ernor James E. Ferguson will be the
subject engrossing the attention of
the house this week. The sub-com-
mittee appointed by the judiciary;
committee to consider the opinion of |
the attorney general declaring the
amnesty bill passed by the senate
unconstitutional, will report tomor-
row night that it has no recom-
mendation to make, it is learned.
The house will, if the judiciary
committee makes the same report,
have the entire problem of the am-
nesty bill and the attorney general’s
adverse opinion to dispose of on the
floor.
The judiciary committee which
formally considers the opinion to-
morrow, may, however, offer some
deflnite recommendations to aid the
