three bills on general orders Twelve
of these were recommended for passage

Among the bills recommended for pas
sage was Senator Wilson's measure re-
, act'' passed in 1895, with the avowed pur-
pose of curtaiing the expenditures Of
large sums of money by candidates in
order to insure their election. Senator
Wilson declared that the law was of
doubtful value and was q menace to
morals rather than q means Of correc-
ton He thought that many of the sena :
tors had approached very near to the
danger line of compromising with their
consciences when they made the, sworn
statements of their election expenses.
Senator Collier remarked that those who
had met with any opposition had gone
over the line. a sentiment that provoked
hearty laughter.
