"CALL OF SENATE" BY
TEMPERANCE LEADERS
Want ALI Members Present For
Test Vote Assigned as
Special Order.

Des Moines. la. Feb. "a clash be.
tween the vets" and ''drys" in tho
legislature occurred in the senate to-
day when two significant moves We're
made by the temperance forces. Lead
erS OF the "drys" presented d petition
asking for a call of the senate next
Tuesday at 1880 o'clock when the
Francis resolution to bring the consti-
tutlonal prohibitory amendment out OF
committee will be debated.
Senator Clarkson offered Il resolu-
tion asking that his bill to repeal the
mulct law be forced from the commit
tee on suppression of intemperance.
The first move brought on a clash
between Lieutenant Governor Hard
ing. president of the senate, and the
dry leaders as to ii parliamentary in
depreciation. y call of the senate
means that every emb except those
excused in the journals for Hines must
pe present. The chair is inclined to rule
that if all members of the senate are
not present at the hour named. a ma
lorlty of those present can move for
adjournment. Leaders of the 'drys"
claim that when their call OF the SEN
ate'' becomes effective there can be no
other action until the sergeant at arms
has, brought in every member not ex-
cused.
Members Of the senate are await
ing with interest the decision of the
ahair next Tuesday. Both sides, in the
meantime. are looking up rules and
presidents.
The test fight may be brought on
one day early by the action of Senator
Clarkson in asking that his mulct law
Oil be reported out. 1t was laid ovcr
Under rule "a today and will be acted
IN Monday. If he succeeds in having
the repeal measure brought out of the
committee, Senator Clarkson will all
Tow it to be placed on the calendar

contest, it is believed.
The bill to repeal the mulct law was
offered in the senate January 10. Sen
