1t is rumored that the State Pharma-
cuetical association will now take the
case into the court for settlement, but
such step is hardly probable.
The Debate on the Matter.
When the question Of confirmation
came up Senator Stevens, chairman OF
the judiciary committee, led Oft with
an argument in favor Of the majority
report of the commission against the
confirmation OF Truman Gritfin's APP
pointment. Senator Spencer of Duluth
opened the argument on behalf OF the
minority Of the judiciary committee,
which held to the opinion that the
portion of the law requiring the COVER
nor to appoint a man recommended by
the Pharmaceutical association was I'M
constitutional because it delegated the
appointment of public officer to
private corporation. MIR. Spencer's ar
Rument went into the matter III detail
and occupied large part of the time
devoted to the debate. Senator Yale
and others spoke briefly before the vote
was taken.
Corrupt Practices Act Stays.
In committee of the whole the sem
ate devoted considerable time in dis
posing of the Heneman bill to repeal
the corrupt practices act. Its author
claimed that the act was repeatedly
violated by candidates for office, but no
attempt is made to punish them. 1t
was, therefore, of no use on the statute
books Senators Sperry, Wyman and
Greer spoke against repeal and the bill
was recommended for indefinite post
ponement. Other bills were disposed
of as follows: SEX
ST. $40 regulate the civil service OF
cities. Recommended to pass.
H.F. 229-To repeal chap. o95 of the spe-
cial laws Of 1891. being an act relating to
the salary Of county attorney for jackson
county. Recommended to pass.
S. F. 56-Providing for travelling libra
ries. Recommended to pass.
