the state. and he wanted the section
stricken out
OPPOSED BY ROMNEY.
Romney spoke with much warmth
against the proposition to remove re-
| strictions from the railroads. The
/ members were elected by the people
and should protect the interests of the
! people I was not elected by any
railroad, and 1 am not controlled by
any railroad" he declared. IF our
railroad passes depend on our vote on
| this question, l hope 1 have manhood
enough and honor enough to stand by
the interests of the people" He further
stated that the prohibitory section was
drawn by mercantile firm that
shipped ten times as much goods as
any other firm in the state; and. in
response to questions from Sloan,
charged that the attorney of one of
the railroads was on the floor of the
house the previous day lobbying
against this section it was proposed
to strike out
Kenner protested against the insinuation
that members were influenced by fear of
losing their railroad passes.
klmball of Cache. chairman of the rail-
road committee. defended the commit
tee. Speaking of the Manitou 'lovefeast''
he stated that the committee had in
Vlted q number of railroad officials to
prominent citizens and shippers, and
suggestions from all sides We're listened
to and noted. The section prohibiting
determinations was really in the interest
OF the railroads and could not be en-
forced.
Sloan resented the insinuation that he
railroads. Farley L. Williams, the at
torney referred TO by Romney, had
stated to him that he didn't care a
d-n'' whether the section was stricken
ont retained The xvh
made these insinuations about the men, |
bers being influenced had received more |
fayors from the railroads than all the
other members put together.

emphasis. 4 desire to deny that state !
ment and to denounce it as an absurd |

then went over to Sloan and explanations,
apologies and reservations of peace fol-
Morgan expressed surprise over the
wonderful change of heart shown by
Royiance, o Brien and Bennion, who had
changed their minds over night. But
