fore the House. 1t is the measure winch
legislates all the trustee incumbents out
of office and compels the Governor to APP
point nine Republicans among the eighteen
trustees. There was a strong disposition in
the House to punish the Senate by refusing
to pass the bill under a suspension of the
constitutional rule. Mr.. Robinson appealed
to the Republicans to suspend the rule as
the bill was a caucus choice. Still the
Republicans held out when a division was
called for, Mr.. Robinson securing supporters
from time to time. The division did not
show enough to suspend the rules and the
roll call was resorted to- There was a
struggle to get the necessary two-thirds
but finally Mr.. Leedy voted aye and with
several others turned the vote, bare two
thirds being obtained, and Messrs. Blakely,
Harrison of Elkhart, Newhouse, O'Brien,
Petit and other Republicans voting against
suspending the rule. The vote: Ayes, IS;
noes, %.
The bill was then read. After the clerk
concluded the first section, Mr.. Petit asked
that it be read over again and then raised
the point that under the bill the Governor
could appoint nine Democrats and nine
Populists. Mr.. Robinson said the bill was
drawn constitutional lines. 1t would
have been unconstitutional to have desig-
mated the parties from which the trustees
shall be drawn, in any manner otherwise
than that provided in the bill. The bill
was then made special order for the even
ing session.

The caucus benevolent bill was then
instructed to lock the doors. The roll was
called without further ado. Messrs. Griffin,
Culhert, Floyd, all Republicans, voted
against the BILL some of them explaining
that when they voted in caucus they did

ever, had a safe majority the final vote
