Helena, Feb. 20.--(Special. Ex-senator
Junod Of Madison county succeeded to-
day In having s. B. 1853 printed and
dynamited from the judiciary COM
mittee. In opposing the motion, sen.
ator Edwards made bitter attack up.

Over Land Board.
The Edwards attack was made when
Senator Junod Of Madison county
moved that 5. b. 1853 be printed. This
bill is designed to give the state board
Ut land commissioners exclusive powec
over the appointment of clerks and ex.
aminers In the state land office, in eff
feet repeating house bills IS and 6s
which confer the power upon the land
agent and the land register. Senator
Junod called attention to the fact that
his bill had been held by the judiciary
committee longer than the six days
allowed by the rules, whereas the two
house Hills had been reported out i'm
mediately. He said his bill gave the
legislature an opportunity to correct
its previous action, and that this re-
vision of Judgment is needed, he cited
the editorial condemnations Of the land
department that appear in the Demo-
cratic Helena Independent. He ex-
pressed the belief that the 50-day rule
will be waived, that his bill win have
chance to be considered by both the
senate and the house and therefore
hoped the motion to print would pre-
vail.
Edwards Attack.
Senator Edwards objected to the
motion. and said:
1T is with extreme sorrow and re-
grct observe my friend from Madison
county Is lending his aid to a man.
who. protesting to be Republican, has
been chiefly responsible for the ills of
the party in the past few years.
Il refer to the editor of the Helena
Record Herald, a man who has used
the Republican party to further his
own selfish schemes. and who is re-.
sponsible for nearly all the troubles Of
the Republican majority through his
schelning activities.
He Is a man who has openly been
charged with being In politics for rev.
enuc only, ana have facts and infor-
nation In my possession which will
prove this to be SO in court.
HE and other scheming politicians
enemies Of the Republican party
have raised this issue over mcritorious
legislation passed by the assembly be-
cause he thinks he sees chance to
further disrupt the Republican party.
Small as is the number of votes
required to hav, this bill printed, 1
sincerely hope 1t will not receive even
AuIS oIIiilAI AUIlDeT Oh votes.
Junod Replies.
Senator Junod resented the remarks
of the Rosebud senator, stating he had
served two terms in the legislature and
he was willing his colleagues should
judge what motives actuated his at
titudc on bills before the assembly on
his record. He stated he had been u
business partner of the man referred
to by Edwards for II years. and that
all Wis session efforts had been made
to make capital out of this fact. He
added he had never submitted to po-
liticai dictation nor had any effort
ever been made to dictate to him. In
conclusion, he asked the senate to vote
on his motion solely on the merits, and
il the members believed he was actu-
ated by other than sincere motives to
vote against it.
