Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 29.-What will
the senate do to the amended prohi-
btion bill adopted by the lower
house?
Speculation is rife and fore 5lsts
are for the asking. The members
of the upper branch decline to be
quoted or finally committed. That
several of them have important
amendments Is known. In the
houses refusal TO adopt the emer-
gcncy clause one Of the most serious
obstacles has been removed. If the
senate takes similar action the peo-
pie will have the right TO exercise
the referendum before the law be-
comes effective. The bill would not
become a law until ninety days after
the legislature adjourns. That date
will be about the first Of June. In
fine Oklahoma will have no enforce
ment laws until early fall.
Governor Haskell is anxious that
the emergency be attached, lie be-
lieves the necessity for immediate
enforcement of the constitutional
provision is of more Importance than
the referendum.
The administration forces in the
souse experienced the futility of
caucus pledges when the emergency
feature failed TO carry. Had they
not felt certain that they had enough
men lined up they would have called
