Those opposing the motion to pos
pone placed their position on tn
grounds that such law would not
hurt anyone, anyhow, that this law
provided for publicity of all paid lob
byists, and that was what the state
and general assembly wanted. Those
supporting the motion to Kill tried 10
ridicuIe the bill out Of the senate, Kit

tfous. remarks that were made coa-
eerning 1t.
Bill Gains Friends.
AS the debate progressed, however.
the bill gained friends, and when, af-
ter a last effort of Roemler, the vote
was taken on the motion to postpone
the bill. the vote, before it was an
nounced, stood nineteen IN favor of the
motion and twenty-seven against.
And here was where the republicans
barely recovered. Most OF the thirteen
democrats had voted against tile mo-
tion to postpone-had voted to sup
port the bill: had the vote been an
nounced as 1T stood at the end of roll
call, therefore, the democrats could
have rightfully claimed credit for hav-
| ing saved the anti-Iobby bill. Hueg,
Roemler and several other republicans
saw that point before the vote was an
nounced, however, and there was a
| frantic effort made by the republicans
TO be recorded as having opposed the
motion. In all ten votes were changed.
making the affirmative vote ten less
and the negative vote ten greater, so
that the final vote stood nine for post
ponement and thirty-seven against.
The bill was passed to third reading,
therefore 1t is not thought however,
that when the bill comes up for pas
sage it Will be passed.
Insurance Men Heard.
The insurance men had a hearing be-
fore the joint senate and the house
insurance committees last night. The
insurance companies objected to the
power that the bill gave the cammi s.
sioner. In lieu of the bill that Repre-
sentative Babcock and Senator Farber
introduced in the house and senate,
the bill of the insurance companies was
presented today. Senator Beardsley pre-
sented it to the senate. This bill
leaves the insurance department in the
auditor OF states Office. The Bingham
Talcott contest was resumed at $50
this morning.
