DEFEAT IN IOWA SENATE. Ri

Special to The Journal. y

Special to The Journal. a
Des Moines. Iowa, Feb 2S.-The Gossley
statewide primary election bill. the. most I'M
portant measure before the Iowa legislature ut
this session. was defeated in the senate yester-
day afternoon by vote Of 20 to "a. The demo-
Gratis who We're expected to vote with the Cum
Minis republicans in support of the bill became
distrustful of the Lyons amendment and six OF
the eight voted with the opposition. The result
is defeat for Governor Cummins which may
have some effect on the approaching campaign
for the republican gubernatorial nomination.
In spite Of the arguments brought to bear on
them, the members Of the minority party be-
leyed that to pass the bill would be to legislate
themselves out Of existence. as one democrat
put it.. The amount of time and effort it would
require to secure the signers to petition OF
nomination, as provided in the Crossley bill,
would be sufficient. 1t is feared, to discourage
a would-be candidate Of a minority party.
Altho the Lyons amendment practically made
primary elections optional with the minority
party, the democrats feared the republicans
would later repeal" this feature. So, holding
the balance of power, the democrats postponed
the coming of the statewide primary in lows
for another year at least. ..".
The, Sanders substitute for the Crossley bill
was defeated by vote of % to 20. It received
| the support of the anti-Cummins faction. -,
