Grafton Of senate bill No. %, relating

Morton Members FiIibuster.
Nnen Senator Talcott offered a NO.
ticn that the senator concur in the
house resolution memoralizing con.
yress in the support of the Ken
~yon-Shepard bill there seemed to
be an attempt on the part OF
the two senators from Morton
county to iflibuster the resolution. Mr..
Talcott wanted the resolution amend
ed by memoralizing the members OF
beth branches from North Dakota.
but Senator Leutz wanted the resolu-
ton referred to the committee on tenn
parance. He thought there would be
plenty Of time 10 inform congress by
wire what the action Of u legislature
had been. There was some mirth ex-
pressed when Senator Hanley said he
was not exactly clearly informed as
to what the Kenyon bill provided, and
he asked Senator Talcott TO explain.
! However, from the remarks offered
by Senators Talcott, Bronson, Hanley
and Garden, it was learned that all
the Kenyon bill would do relating TO
the shipment OF liquor into prohibition
states would be to take away the pro-
lection 0! the interstate commerce
commission when liquor is shipped
here for the purpose Of violating the
prohibition law, and when it was dis
covered that the bill did not affect
liquor shipped 10 private consumers
the resolution was adopted by the SEN
ate with Senator Leutz about the only
one dissenting.
