lRepnbllcans and forty-three Demo
Gratis passed the Gibson iesisiativ
nomination bin today, over whic
yesterdays bitter fight was fought
Today's victory for the directs ol
this measure was followed immediate
/ ly by another when the house, with
ont a struggle, went through the for
mality OF concurring IN the main di
rect plurality primary bdill and ap
proving the senate amendments.
All that Is left, therefore, to put the
two companion direct plurality pri
mary bills up to Governor Deneer
for his signature and to make then
law, is for the senate to concur in the
house amendments to the Gibson bill
|This will be done, as the amend
ments are Of minor Importance.
The Gibson bill was passed by Q
vote of SO to IL, and the main bill
land amendments were concurred in
by vote of 81 to 2S, the latter vote
being of little importance, however
las It was sort of band wagon
proposition with feeble interference.
Lane Of Cook county, the only col
ored member Of the house, protested
against the bill because, he argued
legislation of this kind discriminates
against his race and eliminates the
negro, Prince intimated that an at
tempt had been made to influence his
vote with an offer Of patronage, and
he said his vote was TO be registered
against any such proposition
The roll call by which the Gibson
bill was passed was as follows.
