.&T THE SENATE. ss9 !. 81. -: 4 Il. !.
There were several interesting little
passages at arms in the senate yesterday.
The first OF them came over the bill for
the amendment Of the druggists permit
laWto permit druggists to secure signers
for petitions for liquor permits from the
city instead; of the ward in which their
business places were located The bill
was reported back with some amend
ments but with this provision still in
corporated and the committee on temper
ance recommended that it pass. ~ ( II z
Mr.. Cashel explained the object of the
amendment. Mr., Little said he was
surprised that the committee on temper
ance should report back bill intended
to make it easier for druggists to get
liquor permits. Mr.. LaMoure suggested
that it was easy enough now for drug
gists to get permits and that this legis-
lation was not in line with the record of
the senate. A bill had been passed the
other day for the better enforcement of
the law in question. Now the temper
ance committee wanted to make it easier
for druggists to get permits.
Mr.. LOTUS stated that the object of
the amendment was to enable druggists
living in ward where business places
predominated to get signers for his petit
ton for permit from the city at large.
He had in mind store in his town
where the drug store was practically
shut out Of business because of this
ward provision, it being impossible to
get signers for permit. II ,~= ~4,,-.
Mr.. Little said he was glad to get an
admission that drug store in the valley
could not exist without selling liquor
being practically a pig He didn't
believe in constitutional prohibition but
thought the sooner the drug stores that
were run as blind pigs were cleaned out
the better for the state. " "'~, ~
Mr.. Loftus said the necessities Of the
business required liquor in drug stores
and Mr.. Little retorted that liquor might
be obtained on physicians prescriptions
without the permit arrangement.
The motion to adopt the report OF
the. temperance committee was lost, IL

!, PRIMARY ELECTION BILL. = q 4 "
The primary election bill provoked an
other discussion. This bill, Cashel's
substitute for Senate bill 10. was report
ed back with majority and minority re-
ports, the majority recommending that
the.bill pass. The majority report was
signed by. Senator Hale as chairman :oi
the committee, but by none othersof the
T. majority ts.55 s5 Nh "A A ~ 5tt
A Mr.. Little objected to- the report, as
bearing only one signature, being con,
sidered as a majority report. ~
Mr.. Hale said il was the custom OF. the
senate committees that the chairman
alone sign for, the majority. ,;ss y H.. ..yl
Mr.. LaMoure couldn't see how the sig
nature of only one member could make a
majority report / 4 :% .# >. i +, +, ,5s$E a& u
Mr.. Cashel couldn't see why it should
be$#necessary for the majority of the
members to sign, as long as was the
will of the majority that the report be
made. g. f$.. /, g..> 49,
Mr.. Little esmoged that conside deration oi
the report be made a special order for
next Wednesday at 3 o'clock. .:s,,,,,z II
Mr.. Hale said that the bill had been
before the committee for q long time
the majority report had been signed and
\ 4 handed in with the full knowledge o!
the minority, and as the question had tc
! be disposed Of he could not see why il
should not come up now. : N.
\ .55 Mr.. LAIN Moure then said he would have
to object to the consid deration Of the bill
under the rules, rule 41S providing that
reports must go over one day unless by
unanimous consent. The chair decided
with the Pembina senate and the report
e went over. " .5$sa
