Davis said he wanted to have it read
for the sake OF refreshing the memory
Of the senator from Grand Forks.

an objection unless it was ordered by
a vote of the senate, but Bronson
withdrew his objection and the sec
rotary proceeded. Bronson then NOV.
ed an amendment to the motion of.
fcred by Davis, that when the com
nittee rise the bin be indefinitely
postponed. Senator Jacobson in sec.
onding the motion stated that the
measure was a drastic because it
only required five signers to prefer
charges and that the will of the peo-
pie should remain supreme, but on a
rising vote the motion to indefinitely
postpone the bill lost by a tote Of 90

The bill was then amended by CIV
