SENATE SUSTAINS VETO 0F BROUCH ON PUBLISHING AWARDS House Also Kills Bill for Repeal of Publicity Measure Adopted by
 People in 1914.
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat

opectai 10 the Log Cab<n Democrat
 Little Rock, Feb. 13.-The senate,
 with Senator Garrett alone dissent ing, voted this morning to sustain the
 veto of Governor Brough of the
 Hardage bill, providing for letting the publishing of the constitutional amendments and initiated measures to the newspapers offering the lowest bids in each county, and also placing the letting of this work in the hands of board composed of the governor, auditor and secretary of state. The house yesterday afternoon voted, 54 to 28, to pass the bill not
 withstanding the governors veto. The
 refusal of the senate to concur in
 this action by the house is taken to
 mean that there will be further leg |islation along this line during the
 present session.
 Another attempt to repeal the pub
 licity act initiated and adopted by the people in 1914 was frustrated this
 morning when the house defeated by vote of Al to 32 a bill to this eff feet. Several efforts were made in 1915 to repeal this measure and they likewise failed.
 The senate today reconsidered the vote by which the deficiency appro- priation for the Arkansas exhibit at the Panama Pacific exposition was deefated and also that by which the Alexander bill for additional paving
 on the capitol grounds failed to pass.
 Both of these measures will be taken up and voted upon again Thursday
