The amendment was warmly defended by Nib- ■ lack and was vigorously attacked by I Republican Leader Eschbach. Meas- . uros introduced in the senate were: J. R. Fleming, democrat, repeal of the ■ three-mile road law and giving the I county commissioners authority to in- ■ itiate improvements; Stephen 15. Flemi ing, democrat, to increase the fee of the sheriff for hoarding prisoners from 40 cents to 60 cents; Senator Thorn- . ton, democrat, to repeal the "press . smuggling" clause of the corrupt practice act. “I believe in a free press - and that clause is unconstitutional.
