LONG SESSIONS THE ORDER
House Had Morning Session and Both Bodies Adjourned
County Division Bill Passes Senate and
House Kills SOfIie'S Removal Bill
HOUSE.

sls5 n usE.
The feature of the day in the house
was the defeat of house bill 139 which
gave the governor power to suspend
and remove county officers for cause.
This bill had been favorably reported
by the committee Of the whole the day
before by small margin and 1T was
supposed even by the opponents Of
the bill that its friends were strong
enough to pass 1t on third reading, SO
its defeat came as a surprise to both
sides. The vote ON its passage was:
ayes 40, nays AZ, absent and not yot-;
ing 9.
There was not great deal Of dis
cussion Of the bill before the vote
was taken, but Major Buttz unburd-
ened himself by saying that it was a
most unjust measure as it created Al
new court where there was no right
of appeal and that he considered It q
reflection on all elective officers. "A
4 Mr.. Streeter loosely moved TO-
amend the title making it an act to
constitute a car for North Dakota,
but cries Of question cut off any
further discussion and the roll was
called. Several members changed
their votes making the tally difficult
of figuring out and there was long;
silent spell while the clerk footed up
the count. s.ls
A Mr.. Stevens moved to clinch the
vote by which the bill was killed and
there was some confusion over the
viva voce vote, the chair being in
doubt "a division was called for and
then Mr.. Stevens demanded another
roll call, which was taken. The same
trouble on the count occurred and a
verification Of the count was de
manded. During the verifcation Mr..
Blegen desired to change his vote
from aye to nay, and at once there
were strenuous objection and the
chair ruled that votes could not be
changed on a verifcation. The final
sleeping potion administered to the
bill given by the vote Of 49, to 4S in
favor of laying the motion to recon
slider on the table. Several attempts
were made to revive the bill but to no
avail.
