HOUSE EXPECTS VOTE
ON LOCAL OPTION SOON
Measure Will Probably Be Re
ported Out of Committee
Next Week.
ft
lr0U A RTAVP COBRESrONDENT.
HATtniSBURG, March IS. Tho local
option bill will probably bo reported out
et committee In tho House next week.
Sentiment among the IIouso leaders whit
have been conducting the Governor's cam
paign for local option favors this move.
It la also almost u certainty that no public
hearing will be held on the hill.
The Brumbaugh Administration floor
leaders consider that their light for tha
passage of tho hill will be at Its height
late next week, or early In the week fol
lowing1, and they want tha measure to
come up for a vote In tho House at that
time.
Tho IIouso Law and Order Committee
will hold a meeting next Tuesday, and
tha question of reporting tho local option
bill out will come up again then. The
Goernor himself has not as yet directly
Ignlfled whether ho wants the measure
out now or not, but the Mineral under
itanding among the men wlfb have been
drying on his fight In tho Legislature Is
that lie will not oppose this move.
Since tho Governor started his cam
paign to force tho members of the House
Inlo line for his local option hill, every
member has heard from his constituents,
and the local option leaders huve -advised
the Governor that they think the members
finally made up their minds Vis to
how they will vote.
The local optlonlsts are also pointing
jut today the fact that there is a possi
bility of a revulsion of feeling If the
Jtht for local option is continued for
too long a time, Tho demand for the
paisage of (he measure continues to grow,
out the local option leaders have figured
psychological time for bringing the
Mil up for a vote Is not far away.
