Special to the Inter Mountain.

I
Helena, Jan. 25--W. A. Clark made
another gain in the vote for senator to-
day. He received SO votes, a gain of one
as compared with yesterday. The new
accession to the Butte mans ranks was
| Representative Carr of FlMhead, the
man who figured SO prominently IN the
recent bribery scandal and who was al
! legged to have entered into the bargain
! with Whteside to vote for Clark for a
consideration. Mr.. Carr, when his name
! was called, said that he had just re-
! turned from Flathead county, where he
| had met many democrats, who urged him
! to vote against deadlock. A large pro-
portion of the members of his party in
! that county. he claimed, favored Clark,
and for that reason he would vote for the
Butte man. Carr has been voting for
Conrad.
Senator Myers of Ravalli county, when
his name was called. took occasion to
deny the statement printed in the 1nde-
pendent that he was attorney for the
Hamilton Hotel company or the Ana
conda company He rallied against the
press and wound up by voting for Con-
rad.
Representative Lamb of Silver Bow
made his first effort in the speech making
line. The young man talked for about
fifteen minutes, the burden of his re-
marks being that the DAILY faction of the
democratic party, and not the Clark por-
ton, is the simon pure article. He re-
ferred to the populist party as the
haIum -scarum offspring legislation, and
in closing compared Conrad to Calhoun
and several other distinguished demo-
cratic statesmen. Just how many votes
Mr.. Lambs speech made was not appa-
rent. The republicans voted for G. H.
Grubb of kalispell, candidate for asso-
ciate justice at the last election.
There We're SO votes cast, making AZ
necessary to elect. The vote resulted:
Clark SO, Conrad so, Grubb IA, Fox 2,
Masinnis s.
The sessions of both houses We're un-
important The senate in committee of
the whole passed the Norris bill in regard
to placing fac SMILES of county officers
upon coupons to county bonds, and upon
third reading Of bills finally passed the
bill repeating the road supervisor law
passed by the last session. Hoffman in
troduced a bill preventing the adultera-
ton of candy. The judiciary committee
introduced a bill to pay County Clerk
i Thierriault of Flathead county 1922 20,
expenses attendant upon the trip here in
the Geiger- Whitesde election contest,
and the committee on education intro
duced bill amending the law relating to
county superintendent of schools, pre-
venting those officials from teaching
school in any county in which the salary
is 81 600 or more Hobson gave notice of
a bill levyng tax for stock inspection,
and Hannah of a measure seeking to
amend the law in regard to the legal rate
for public printing.
: Teh committee on privileges and cleo
tion did not as expected, make a report
in the Geiger-W -Whitcside contest. A di-
vided report is expected, as there ap-
pears to be a difference of opinion as to
certain ballots.
The house received a petition from a
number of we'll known citizens of the
state asking that law be enacted per-
Uniting osteopaths to practice their pro-
fession in Montana. The petitioners ask
ed that the lawmakers place themselves
on a higher plane than the opponents OF
the profession occupy, look forward to
the verdict that future generations will
pronounce on osteOpathy, pass a liberal
and just bill to cover the needs of the
| hour, etc.
In committee of the whole Truscott's
bill in regard to the statute of limitation
and Hedges reducing the legal rate of in
terest We're partially considered. Bills
were introduced by Bywater to legalize
bonds of school sdtrict No. of Flathead
county, Montana, which said bonds We're
on May 7th, 1898, voted to be issued by the
qualified electors of said district:
