Scott Bill Amended.

The Senate in committee OF the
whole Wednesday agreed to number
OF amendments to Senator SCOTS pri-

One amendment reduces the allow
arce for expenditures by candidates
for nomination at the primaries so that
no aspirant for nomination for a
federation or state Office may spend
more than $1,000 and no aspirant for
an office affecting district. smaller
than the entire state may spend more
than $500.
Another provides that candidates for
the United States senate at the pri-
maries shall go on the regular election
ballot and candidates for the Legisla-
ture have the choice of pledging them
selves to vote either for the choice of
their party at the primaries or for
the choice of all Of the voters at the
general election. They are not
obliged to make either pledge.
Another amendment withdraws the
ban placed upon political organizga-
tons to prevent their getting behind
certain candidates before the primar-
les. The judiciary committee believed
the organizations would do this by in
direction regardless Of restrictions and
it might better be permitted in the
open.
