HOUSE

The first day OF the last two weeks Of
the assembly was not one OF great ac-
accomplishments in the house, but the
way was paved for the mplishment
Of much in what must, by limitation, in
the very near future. A great deal of
routine work was done and much was
started on it's way to the statute books,
or to what is commonly known as the
bone yard . "A number of bills we're con-
signed to the latter by committee re-
ports recommending them indefinitely
postponed, and it will require great
deal Of temerity for any member to re-
call them from that destiny. The last
day for the introduction of new bills is
next Thursday, unless unanimous con-
sent can be secured. Something has
been said about steering committee,
but no move for such has yet been made
by the speaker. al
Part OF the afternoon session was oc-
cupied in the consideration of S. B. No.
l, in committee of the whole, Mr.. Hau-
gen in the chair, the Sharp primary bill;

amended, and it has gone back to the
senate. The principal house amend
ment relates to the selection Of candi-
date for United States senator. The two
men receiving the highest number of
votes in either party at the primary will
be before the ,electors at the general
election and the man receiving the high
est number Of votes at the general cleo
ton will be the selection before the leg
islature, and the legislators must vote
| as pledged under the law. The roll call
