action regarding the protest of Ilil‘

candidacy of Elmore S, Ilauks for the
sper'lkm'slrip.
While no lntilutltiou could in- obtnilr

clear that the ministers believe that
Judge liaults ought not to be speaker.
it is understood that. 11 report will be
presumed by the special committee.
of which Itev.-il1~rber1 S. Brown, of
Ilarieu, is the chairman. and which
committee was instructed 111 the last.
lowering of the association to issue the
protest.
II is also reported that licv. Charles
S. filuel‘arlurul, chairman of the stand»
ins; legislative committee of the as
soelution, which presented the original
report. will probably have further we
ourfoundations to utfer' on 1111- part of
that ronuuittee. '
’l‘he ministers elaiirr that Judge
liuuks has tried to throw dust in the
air to obscure the issue and they
maintain that the original report of
the lenislntire committee stated the
fuels in the case. There Is a. feeling
among the ministers that Mr. Banks
ought. to either to have entered Ills
threatened suit. for libel or also. make
u frank admission of the things charg—
ed up to his account. If he intends to
do the latter they feel that he, ought
