This bill o. Senator Kochs permits persons bring bel
suits against newspapers wherever they circulated
In the State The present law compels persons to bring

merely been offered give Senators who had been ac
cused OF an attempt to brdle tie press opportunity

Homer A. Nelson defended the bill and opposed lts re
consideration. He dwet especially upOn the injustice
which was frequently done TO men by newspapers
In his opinion, grand juries ought to have the
right to indict editors for libel anywhere in the
State. All that the bill did authorize the assailei
person to Drg suL where he was best known, where
could best be judged.
Senator Pitts attacked the bill. In his opinion IL

Government had abandoned all idea of attempting

lowed, more harm than good would be done to the
Government cause. An inquiry as to whether pro-
