! Twepty-nine democrats voted for the
! bill and thirty against it. Mr.. Collins
| friend OF the bill, came in after IL had
! been disposed OF.
Representatives Clauser, Williams and
! Reeves were not present The first two
| were against the bill. IL is doubtful how
| Mr.. Reeves would have cast his vote. The
/ vote shows that majority OF the demo
| Gratis. after all the lobbying done among
them, was against the bill. Before the
! bill can become law it will have to 90
| back to the senate.
The house spent most of the time Wednes-
| day considering the appropriation bill

Mr.. Hord urged that the amendment be
| adopted. Mr.. McMullen could not under
stand what excuse the author of the bill
bad for cutting down the appropriation
| for the Central hospital, and the author
| offered none. Mr.. Mcmahon was op-
ton. He, like Mr.. McMullen,
!
He quoted from a statement showing
what It had cost TO main
tain The institution in the past
| He did not be ieve the state desired 10 be
| beggsriy with this institution and in a
vigorous speech spoke in favor of the
