Senator Burke strongly advocated the
bill. HIS knowledge OF the conditions OF
the state WAS excellent and il there was

believed the people entitled to q vote on
the question.
Senator Sorley, of Grand Forks, who
two years ago held different view of the
question, spoke OF the change ln senti-
ment that two years Lad made and ad
vocated the fairness now of rssubmittlng
the proposition to another vote.
Mr.. Strom, Of Trail county, said there
was no blind pig in his county, that his
constituents, or a majority, were satisfied
with the present law and approved the
bill.
Senator Stevens read newspaper

laws IN JuoKe Ives district in Mlnne-

Grand Forks, where the prohibitory law

his earnest, hearty way. and said that
Dickey county wanted no license and
had no blind pigs.
But the speeches changed no votes
and before the clerk finished the roll-call
the members of the senate and many
outsiders were confident OF the result.
There was NO excitement and no ill.feel-
ing, except in the case OF Senator Enger,
who objected to some remarks OF Senator
Gregory's after the vote.
The occasion was very different from
two years ago, when the same bill was
defeated in the senate. There was no
Dan Sullivan in Bismarck Friday work
ing with saloon fund to prevent the
passage of the bill. There was no lobby
against it and none for it. The measure
seemed to go through on its merits, and
it is not believed any money was used
on either side, certainly the East Grand
Forks crowd had none here, for the re-
doubtable Daniel Sullivan is now him
self a fugitive from justice, and most of
the compatriots OF that village are scat
tered to the four winds of the earth to
escape grand jury indictments.
