Joy gave notice that he would move to
reconsider.
The tic vote defeated the bill and 1t will
probably prove a. death blow, although
Joy gave notice that he would move a re-
consideration tomorrow.
In the course of last nights debate,
Craven made some remarks of a rather
sarcastic nature in relation to the speech
made by Kennedy last night on the school
book question. 1t seems the latter took
the remarks unkindly and Craven rose to
n question of personal privilege and took
back whatever of his remarks Kennedy
might object to.
Joy gave notice of a bill to regulate the
charges of telephone companies.
The school book bill then came up and
it was speedily seen that last nights fight
by the supporters of the Joy bill had been
in vain. A substitute for the Joy bill
was introduced by Monteath, but it did
not 90. The substitute provided that the
state should buy all necessary school
books at wholesale rates in Chicago, and
that they should be sold in Montana at
cost, freight added. After some more
speech-mahing a vote was taken and the
majority of the committee on education
was adopted by a vote of As 70 IL. The
following was the vote:
Ayes-Anderson, Aud, Baggs, Bennett, Bond
