THE SENATE CAUSED STORMY TIMES

stand against the report
There has long been talk of party
splits in this state said he IF
you don't mind it will come. If we

Walden of the Eighteenth, who is
la dyed-in-the-wool populist, and
Senator Weaver, the only republican
member of that body, laughed heart

Senators Farmer and Walden
who had represented the senate on
the conference committee, spoke in
favor OF the compromise. They
stated that it did not represent ex-
actly what they wanted, but they felt
that the senate should concede some
thing.
Senator Felder's bill before this
body provided that the convicts be
released for two years. he declared
Under this arrangement they would
not be released at all, and would be
subject to contract work. merely as
an alternative for only two years. -
Senator Griffin spoke in favor of
the compromise, saying that the dem
Ocratic party of the state could take
care of itself, and did not deserve to
be dragged into a squabble like the
one on hand.
A motion to agree to the report of
the conference committee and adopt
the compromise bill was defeated by
vote of 16 to 81, Senator Critten-
den of this district voting for it.
The vote was as follows.

morning when the senate by vote
Of 81 to 16 refused to accept the
report of the fourth conference COM

session, but sit and wait on the SEN

House Agreed to the Report.
IN the house a fight was begun
on the compromise bill submitted by
the committee.
The proposed amendments were
taken up one by one and adopted
without much opposition down to the
substitute for section 4 providing a
contract system. Over this a bitter
battle Waged and an aye and nay
vote was called. Mr. Perry of Hail
