fact that call Of the house was on, to
keep members in their chairs and have
their votes recorded. Nj. u. Flower, A.
K. Ware and l.. III. johnson spoke in
favor Of the bill, and number of 9th

Marcus Lauritson, George p. Perley and
Elias Rachie explained that there was
merit in the bill, but they voted against
it because of the general demand for
increased salaries by state and county
officers, which they could not support.
Efforts were made to, bring the mem
bers in from the corridors, but only lO7
votes were cast and 81, three short of
the 60 required, voted in the affirma-
tive, to SO against it. Smith changed
his vote from aye to nay and secured
a reconsideration by a vote Of 81 to 4s.
Unexpected opposition developed to
agricultural college at Crookston, but
the bill went thru with 81 votes to it's
credit. The OPPOSITION was from those

quirements of agricultural training in
the state. The Bennett bill carries no
