FAIR BILL IS UP.
Hutchinson Having an Inning in the
Senate Today.

Hutchinson state fair bill is holding
the center of the stage in the senate
this afternoon and the towns friends
and opponents are making herce
fight for a victory. The bill was called
a few minutes before o'clock under
special orders.
Consideration of the bill was delay
ed in the final fight On the Avery
mortgage tax bill on which a dozen
members explained their votes and
delayed the game. The Avery biii
was blocked and call of the house
resulted. After a close fight Avery
secured the required votes and his
bill was adopted by a vote of 81 to Is.
The bills which was introduced two
weeks ago by Senator Emmerson
appropriation of 100000 for an Gift
cial state fair at the Kansas salt town
and the stockholders of the Hutchin
son fair association offered to turn
over to the state property valued at
about $150,000.
Carey has made a game fight for
the passage of his bill and succeeded
in advancing the bill from general to
special order. The Hutchinson Com
merciaf club this afternoon sent sew
eraI hundred souvenir booklets to To-
peka which were distributed among
members of the legislature. The
Hntc hinson club has also asked the
law makers to visit the Reno county
seat at the expense of the club and if
the invitation is accepted the mem
bers of the two houses will be Loaded
with Hutchinson argument. Carey inn
mediately opened fire for his bill and
told of the virtues of the salt district.
Hamilton and Stewart for Topeka
and Wichita opposed the passage of
the bill and Hamilton produced what
he termed the deadly parallel which
was published in. the State Journal.
His arguments were followed by Glenn
of Greeley county. who is the avowed
short grass missionary for the Tope-
ka fair.
Arguments were coming fast and
n a blistering fashion at 3:15, but Car
ey stood pat for his home town and
smilingly remarked that he was ready
for the roll call. The Reno county adj
vocate claims 80 votes for his bill
and this will shove the measure
through the upper house with two
votes to spare.
