The Fargo forum and daily republican. [volume] (Fargo, N.D.) 1894-1957, 1917-02-14

New Rockford, Darlington and Fes-
sender and three at McClusky.
Slope county is named in the
original bill as portion of the pro-
posed Fourteenth district. but as 1t is
improbable that Senator Wenstrom
would wish his Judge to jump across
the entire state, riding circuit" it Is
presumed that Slope slipped in
through q typographical error.
Steering Committee.
When. after s. b. No. BIG had been
received and tucked away in commit
tee, Senator Ettestad also craved
unanimous permission to suspend the
rules to INTRODUCES some other belated
bills, Senator Allen interposed an OBJ
lection to a general letting down of
the bars. On his motion the president
named a committee of five--Allen,
Ettestad, Rowe, McCarten and Nelson
Of Richland-whose duty 1t will be
to give thirteenth hour measures the
once-over before they are turned loose
in the senate.
Martin on Ministers.
Senator Martin strenuously opposed
recalling the vote by which s. B. No.
81, providing that any town located
on a railroad which gets one more
vote than any other town in q county
seat fight gets said county seat, was
remessaged to the house. He figured
the senate had frittered away enough
time on 8. B. No. 81, and wound up
his peroration with the assertion:
We've got the house full Of minis
ters now-if we keep this up we'll
have more of 'em."
But tht senate reconSidered anyway,
Senator Cahill. whose district is most
ly affected, asking it, on the ground
that the bill was passed without due
consideration and that there are peo-
pie now here who wish a hearing on
this measure. 1t took a two-thirds
vote to do 1t, the ayes numbering 81
to nays, not voting.
