troduced tomorrow by Watson and Huds-

that there was no doubt as to its adoption
In the upper house. He. said that Gov-
ernor Campbell or no one else would have
the nerve to call another special session
after this In the face of such clear tn-(
dicatlona of popular dlsapprovaL y"
House leaders are also Inclined to b'-
ileve that tne mattsr will meet with ap-
probation over there' so It may be tsken
for granted that few other matters will
now. be discussed by the legislatur's. ;
. Speaker MarahaU said today that he
would endeavor to have the new Insur-
ance bill Introduced on Monday by Cure
ton 'and Terrell given the right of way
and he believes It can be passed easily
before the expiration of the thirty day
of this seslson. ' ' ' '.
- Lieutenant Governor Davidson Is .in-
clined to took with favor upon any early'
adjournment also so there will be Mr

GOVERNOR DOESN'T REALLY CARE.
. Nor la It readily believed that this plan
will be such a bitter pill to Govenlor
Campbell after all. Some of -those who
are closest to him have said here that
the chief executive never . expected to
have tne extreme liquor legislation pro-
posed by him enacted into law but that
he merely offered this subject for the
