Mr .McK'ech.in summed up his argument
in one sentence, tills in regaiJ to the
Judges naming the Hoard of education.
And jet this hoard la answerable to the
people onlv through Judges, whose election
we seek to muke independent of political

Hu suggested that elthei Ibis power of

ottkes of the Hoard of Education anil of the
Hxclso Commission, which would have the
power to grant licenses, be tilled bv a direct
vole of the people 'The liquor license

milled. "The people have been fortunate In
having the benefit of o judiciary whose In

Mr Lewis criticized the powei of
