Pierre. y. D.. Feb. t.--Although N.
threatened fight failed to materiaIize 4,
the senate when the rate bill came up
for final passage yesterday, all the eyl.
dence points TO n contest In the aous,
today that will claim some intereE
from the galleries. The anti-pass bin
which came up last evening for third
reading and final passage was held over
until today on n close vote OF IS to u.
ostensibly for the purpose OF allow Ing
the newspaper men who were In ses.
sion at Huron to appear and presen,
reasons why they should not come w.
der the restriction OF the law. Tn.
real reason for the delay Was that thus,
who oppose the emergency clause n
the bill wanted more time To marshal
their forces and used the newspaper
argument as n leverage for delay. Tn.
fight will be preclpitated today when
Foster. OF Douglas. who Is leading the
movement against the emergency
clause will move for n suspension o:
the rules permitting the house TO 20

Where No Record Tells Tales.
As no record In made OF any vote IN

that the members will feel free TO vote
against the emergency clause or the
bill and then vote for the bill on final
passage. As Il will take two-thirds
vote to suspend the rules and the house
In practically unanimous In favor o,
the law. IL will be seen that there n
chance for some fireworks In the par.

from one OF the friends OF the measure
to pass by unread the sections OF the
bill which were not amended by the
committee on privileges and elections
and when put to vote the motion was
lost. Some one Immediately remarked
facetiously that this was the first vic.
tory won by the stalwarts since they
turned down the petition. The victory,
however. was not appreciated.
