The house has passed the James
bill which went through the senate,
which eliminates the Is per cent
clause and the enrolment feature of
the present primary election law. The
bin was not passed in exactly the
sa=e form as it went through the SEN
ate, but the changes made are of a
minor nature.
This is in accordance with the no
ton agreed upon by Governor Ferris
and the members of both houses in
terested in primary reform legislation
The understanding was then that the
James bill was TO be accepted as a
means of avoiding jeopardy to that by
provisions which might give members
opportunity to oppose it. Other
changes in the law are to be proposed
in separate bills. This plan was given
as reason for turning down an
amendment offered by Rep. Bayliss of
Chippewa, which provided for the Sc
lecting the national committeeman Of
each party at the same time nomin-
atoms for governor are made.
Representative Taylor, Bricker and
other democrats declared they favor
ed the amendment, but believed that
If It was incorporated in the bill the
senate would kill the whole proposi-
ton, and on this declaration the
amendment was voted down.
Whether the amendment will get
safely through the senate again is said
to be somewhat of a question. There
is bevy Of senators opposed to wip'
ing out the enrolment feature OF the
present law and they will be only too
glad to hit this proposition II the op

Once more the anti-cIgarette bill is
on its way to the statute books, as the
house in committee OF the whole has
agreed to the Dunn bill which prohi-
bits the sale or giving away OF the

session Of the legislature in the pre-
sent century such a bill has made its
appearance and in every session 1t has
been beaten in one way or another.
Only the most optomistic predict any
better success this session.
There has not been any particular
fuss raised with the members over the
matter, other issues having the center
of the stage now to the practical ex-
clusion of what was once a burning
issue. 1t is said that the house has
the idea that it can pass the bill, get
the credit and safely rely on the SEN
ate to Suppress the measure. Whether
the senate will accept its part in the
play remains to be seen, If the bill
is passed on the third reading remains
