MOldinE the Primary Bill.

Senator c. N. Thompson. of this city, who
is chairman of the Senate elections COM
mittee and the father of the primary cleo
ton bill that was torn to pieces at the
meeting of the committee Monday night.
asks that judgment on the bill be reserved
until ii comes from the committee. The
object of the open meeting was to give
everyone and anyone an opportunity 10
point out defects in the bill, and the COM
mittee will proceed to remedy these de-
fects by amendments. Senator Thompson
says that he himself has several amend
ments to offer and that other members of
the committee are giving the bill hard
study. The Objectionable features, the
principal one of which seemed to be the
provision that the precinct committeeman
should decide whether nominations should
be had BY direct primaries or by delegate
conventions, will be eliminated before the
bill is reported from the committee.
mo one is insisting on the passage of the
bill in its present FORM, said Senator
Thompson last evening. 1--WE desire to get
a bill that will meet with the approval of
all who interested in the subject of
primary reform, and | am sure that before
the bill leaves the committee ii will be SO
changed that the objections that were
raised Monday night will not hold
against it,"

The session of the House yesterday pre-
vious to the reelection of Senator Fair
banks was devoid of anything of especial
interest. The members were in their seats
promptly at 10 o'clock when the speakers

the oratorical feast that was promised.

Senator Walter l.. Ball went to Munce
last night to make speech to his con-
stituents on Senator Matson's voting ma
chine bill. Senator Ball is not certain just
how Muncie stands on the bill and his trip
last night was to get line on local senti-
ment. He will vote as his constituents
direct in so far as the bill is made appli-
cable TO Muncie. Last night he read the
bill to meeting of Muncie people and ex-
planned the purport of the measure. Sena-
tor Ball believes that the bill is all right
but he is not so sure that they want &c
vote by machine in Muncie. The bill as
drawn applies to all counties containing
cities of 10000 population.
At an enthusiastic meeting last night OF
the Muncie Commercial Club il was voted
TO ask Senator Walter Ball, who was pres
ent, to vote for the voting machine bill.

Fight ON oleomarsarine Bill.

Senator Gibson, of Branchville, says there
will probably be lively fight on the bill
introduced by Senator Parks which pro-
hibits the use of oleomargarine or but
terine in State institutions. The farming
interests of the State will be strong in
advocacy of the measure, he says, but
there will be determined effort made to
kill it, not only on the part of the manu-
facturers of patent butter, but also by
those interested in the management of the
institutions affected The contention is
made that if Senator Parks's bill should
become law il would cost vastly more
to maintain the institutions than it does
at present. Real butter is a costly article
at times 1t is said and argument is offered
TO show that pure butterine is just as ac-
ceptable to inmates of these institutions as
country butter.
