Debating Primary Plank.
When the resolutions prepared by the
committee were read no objection was
/ made to any plank until the close of the
reading when /. d. Evans Of Kensa "
moved to strike out the plank relative TO
! the primary.
This brought on a fusilade of speeches
and final agreement by Evans to ac-
cept an amendment by Searle OF Doug
las that the Legislature be instructed 20
amend the primary law fell by the way
side when Evans said he did not under
stand Searlc's amendment, withdrew his
agreement and insisted that his first
motion be put. Senator Hoagland of
North Platte offered a motion to strike
out the irrigation plank. With a heavy
rain falling on the roofs peakers could
not be heard twenty feet away, adding
( to the confusion.
To settle the matter Chairman King de-
clared the whole motion out of order and
Evans made hfs motion over again to
strike out, the primary plank ana 1t was
carried.
! Hoagland then moved TO amend the
I irrigation plank by urging members in
| Leo,
lease water from its reservoirs, instead
Of the convention taking action only in
the form OF a resolution.
! Art Weaver of Richardson offered a
resolution asking the legislature to
remedy tho defects in the primary law,
which brought on a heated argument.
The amendment was lost.
