S6fae #ee.is ago the convention Voted down a proposition to provide for iegaiiy Conducted and practical primary cleo. tons. MY: o'Neill again brings up the Questions and in this manner
 ''Be 1t resolved by the people of AIaba- iaa, In e5avention asseifibiedl
 ''That the legislature may provide that at the general election immediately pre- eedlhg the expiration of term of Uni. ted States Senators for thfs state, tht electors inlay by ballot express their pref. erenee fef some one person for the efaee of United States Senator. The votes eas for such candidates shall be eanvassed and retufAed In the same manfseF az fes state officers.
 "Mr. O'Neill Uefferson)-I arise to a point ea Information. The same orJli. nance wes presented by me some timv age and referred to the committee on legislative department. have noticed in several constitutions where this law .s In force that Is under the head ef sep. arate pfoessitions,' and in order to test the sentiment ef this convention in re. gard to allowing the people te express their choice for United Seates Senator, ] move that we suspend the rules and vote on 1t as separate proposition.
 ''The Peesseese=The gentleman from Jefferson moves to suspend the rules in order that th.s resolution may be placed upon It's passage.
 IA vote being taken the motion to sus- pend the rules was lost, the vote eeing 2S ayes and 46 noes on division.
 MI. O'Neili-I request that the reso- lution be referred to the committee on miscellaneous provisions,
 '"The President-Is appears to the chair that the resolution ought to be referred to the committee on legislative depart- ment, 1t seems to the chair that is tho proper committee.
 MI, O'Neill efferson)-Inasmuch as the committee on legislative department have reported and have stated that this matter should come up under different article, and I find in one constitution 1t is brought In as propositions separate ly submitted think it should he refer red to the committee on miscellaneous provisions,
 "Mr. Oates-I would say toat the dels- gate from Jefferson Is slightly mistaken in. one thing; the committee on les1sla- tive department did not reject the prop osition; it was only talked about, and If in calling meeting of that committee 1t should go to that committee again-- there are some other ordinances referred to that committee-I shall take pleasure aoa laying the resolution before Ine.n.
 ''The President-The resolution will be referred to the committee on legislative department"
 How utterly astonished the people would be if Judge Coleman and his suf- frage committee should trust hem in tho matter of registration and primary cleo tiops,
