was intended to weaken the bill. He
wanted the Australian system pure and
simple. If we could not have that, let the
bill be killed outright and no more foolish
ness.
Mr. Mr.. SrE EYE Is substitute was lost
Other amendments were offered by
Messrs. Barlow, Dodds and Cowan to bring
the phraseology and numbering of the Sec
tons into shape, and after a final shot by
MI. LaMoure, suggesting that in the near
future, when the women come to vote, hus-
bands would not be willing to stand back
md leave their wives to enter, unprotected,
the secret enclosure of the polling booth,
the final vote was reached and the bill
passed-Ayes, 81; nays, 8.
Mr.: SMITH moved that the vote by
winch the bill was passed, be recOnsidered
and that the motion be laid upon the table,
which was adopted, and the Australian
elephant was turned loose on the public,
so Tar as the senate is concerned;
The president pro TEN in the chair.
Senate bill No. 1853, making an appropri-
alton for the state university, being the

salaries were too high and made some COM
ments on what he regarded the political
aspirations Of the president and their liza
bility to divert his attention from the
duties of his position.
Mr.. WINSHIP said that the contract
prices would have to be paid until the end
OF the present year and did not agree
that the president had political aspirations.
he had friends who would like to see him
in q nartain p%0citiOp for which ba
(Sprague) was not to blame. He regarded
him as n of the best educators in the
country and thought that NORTH Dakota
was fortunate in securing his services.
Mr.. LAMOURE: There seems to have
been a storm in Grand Forks a couple Of
years ago which damaged the university
to some extent and IN appropriation
was asked for to repair this damage-to
the amount of $22,70O. This appropriation
was granted and was used up to the last
cent. Now, gentlemen, it strikes me this
board Of regents are the most expert math-
ematicians l have ever heard of. AS far
as | am concerned, l would rather have
seen a deficiency, as the idea of their being
able to figure to the last and exact cent
needed to repair those damages, strikes
me as peculiar, to say the least.
every institution that we have has as
sumed q local character; for instance, the
Grand Forks university, also, the Jimtown
asylum-When these are really state insti-
buttons. Speaking OF the asylum however,
we are obliged to look at it as the Jimtown
asylum when we look at the expense for
fuel we are compelled to think that the
whole town is furnished with fuel at the
marck penitentiary, why when we look at
the salaries of the directors OF that institu-
ton one would think that every man in
Bismarck was getting a salary out of it,
and gentlemen, there are several leaks of
this nature all around that need looking
after"
MI. BELYEA moved to amend the
amendment by substituting 5 1900 for ST.
800 which was lost-13 to IL.
