Peterson Tries Again
Senator Peterson, chairman of the

had worked in the cloak room for
few days taken from the table, but
Senator Schultz objected. In oppos-
ing the motion, Senator Schultz said
that Dahlen had never been hired by
the senate to do any work, and that
he Schultz, had told him he was in
the way in the cloak room and was
not wanted, whereupon Dahlen replied
that Senator Peterson had told him to
remain there. This gave Senator Wood
his cue and he said:
Shall we set a precedent by letting
people loaf around the capitol and then
pay them for it? If so, I'd like to have
some of my people from Todd county
come down here on that basis. They're
hungry for cash"
Senator Peterson's motion did not
prevail.
