SENATE
Continued from Page Onc.)

FEELING tnat nad Decn engineered I'M
day the bill was first up and stated
that it was the first time in his legis
lative experience that the sincerity
brought into question and that he wa
sure there were nc motives but fol
the best of the people at large. He
also called attention to the fact that
there was on the books of the state
OF North Dakota an anti.lobbying law
and he insinuated that that law was
being broken every day and statct
that steps should be taken for its on
forcement. He thought that a great
deal of the sentiment for the Eill had
come from outside sources and went
so far as to state that it was his opin'
ion that other members Of the senate
had been openly insulted for the stand
they took on the bill when it vas up
for consideration Saturday.
He read a letter from n of the
physicians of Mandan which outlined
the start of the fight that has been
made against the cigarette business
and also to the effect that their effect
was no more injurious to a grown per-
son than was that of smoking cigars.
When the vote on the bill was cast
there were 81 ayes, IS nays, Senator
Linde being absent from the chamber
and absent from the city. Senator
Vail explained his vote by saying that
