at this hin session not only in inthe inthe Inthe the number of important measures pass passed d but in the wisdom displayed in preventing the th enactment into Ino law Jaw of a alot alot alot lot of o freak frk blUe bills bis and some very yeo vicious legislation Probably the most moot important matter mater considered in my opinion for the ad advancement advancement I of 0 a I good government I in civic affairs was s the Galves Calves Galveston Calveston ton bill bU and an I am sorry som indeed Ide that they thoy failed of passage in the house It I may be b a long ng w while hile under un er the peculiar conditions that exist here before a state legislature will wUl have to so good an opportunity of doing so praiseworthy a 8 athing athing thing as Ate ye had at this session Then there was

tha were killed kil by b the senate in the closing cosing hours hous of the session that should have been ben p s d but It I was simply out of the question qu ston to get a fair Cair consideration of such measures on the last day da dahe The he seventh legislature had hall an opportunity opportunity of making mallu a 1 great t record and taking a decided stet step te forward forwar in the way 1 of reform legislation lo If I it failed faie in any lY respect to meet the expectation of I 1 the he people as a whole who It it cannot rca rea re bo be l charged to the stain senate senat The body bOy over ov r which I had the honor honorof of presiding was composed compose of men of ability and character and every one of them had the best interests ts of the state at heart hert Sometimes of oi

There were but few members who had had previous experience in legis legislative legislative matters maters and anti consequently the technical matters mater had necessarily to be b directed by b the members who had been ben benin In previous sessions Taking the tle mem mein members members bers bern all al in all al they were a representative tive class cass of o the body bd politic men of good judgment judgen agreeable and an affable afable In lit 11 manners mauner and interested in promoting the tho welfare of the state Aside fron mm lacking attorneys of high standing am and wide experience the ability of ot the house will wi compare om pare favorably with that of former legislatures So far as as the speaker Is ia concerned con erle I wish to say that the promise he gave at atthe atthe the opening OPEning of the session he has made good give ghe a square deal leal to all aU impulsive and if you 0 wi wil vIlI permit pen but then everybody knows Harry Harf he e is resourceful and energetic and knows how to rush the work His treatment of the minority mem mern members mem member bers ber aside from criticisms that might be offered In not giving them i a chair chairmanship chairmanship manship has eve been cot am and considerate and he has recognized recognize them as a an important factor in the work accomplished At no time during the session have questions of ot party part polities arisen anc ald aldno and no vote was Olf where party lines Ine were drawn Indeed it has been generally said that it i has been ben difficult to tell tel from the attitude of the members member w what ha their politics are arc arcIn In conclusion I wish wl to state as the recognized leacer eater of the minority that thai we appreciate all aU courtesies s extended and conjoin with wih the majority in wish wishing wishIng wishIng ing that the te labors accomplished by b the seventh session of ot the state tt legislature may ma prove equal equa to tho
