In closing the debate Senator Britt In a dignified speech said the Sena- tors had misconceived the purpose of His remarks on Thursday. He had said thL matter was a political ques. tion, but it was not a party political question. He declared not a single arsument had been made avainst Der- mlttlng iHe people to elect the county boards Of education. He said that certain aenatora had addressed them- selves unfortunate conditions of forty years ago. Mr. Britt complained that the senators would not address them- selves to the qu- itlon of electing the boards of education by the people. Ho aald ho represented two-fifths of ths people of the state and declare'.' that the minority had a right to be represented In the system, yet all the members of the county boards art democrats. The senate, he said was doing the doctrine of Jefferson everlasting violence In defeating this measure.
