Daylight Bill Passes

After an hour and a half OF debat-
ing, the house yesterday passed the
daylight saloon bill. The amendment
of Representative Bracket, putting
the closing hour at O'clock was
adopted and the bin as amended went
through with the emergency clause at
tached. Should the measure in its
present condition pass the senate, and
it is altogether likely that it Will, the
instrument will become effective i'm
med.ately upon the signature OF the
governor to il. There vii, then be
no chance to invoke the rec endum.
Immediately upon the measures be-
ing brought up for discussion, Brack-
EFT offered his amendment which was
followed by a substitute amendment
by Glassner of Bon Homme. Class
ner's proposition was to make the
closing hour optional with the com
munt.es. He made 4 strong speech
i'll defense OF his amendment which
was answered by Whiting and Millett.
Representative Vercoe, OF Lead, de-
Tended Brackets proposition and in
the course of his talk took except on
to the published statement trat the
Black Hills delegation favored the all
Il ght'; ssicon. Representa- tive Brown
contended that TIE proposei bill wou'd
react against the progress ALREADY
made along the lines OF Temperance
Sut!ey and Hayes followed with talks
for and against the bill and the Glass
ner amendment was put to a vote. 1t
was lost by a vote of % to Is. The
Bracket proposition carried by about
the same vote by which the OTTER
amendment was lost Upon roll cali
on the original bill, as amended, the
vote showed it had carried by 70 to
o. Thus the yictors had nine more
votes than We're necessary to carry
with the emergency.
A careful poll Of the senate reveals
that the vote on the daylight sa oon
bill in the upper house is going to
be much closer than in the lower body
Friends OF the measure express Their
confidence that it will easily carry in
the senate, but judging by the express
ions OF the individual members it is
difficult to see just wherein they are
to figure out 4 ''cinch.'
In its present shape the bill would
