be similarly recorded on the vote.
 The opponents of the bill realize that they have a handicap of ten to overcome at the outset, as the demo cratic senators in caucus on Thurs day bound themselves together to sup port the measure and refrain from offering any amendments that might cndanger it's passage. '-~ 1-One of the reasons why some of the senators have. 'decided4stoe contest sary attempts 70 amend the bill in the up per branch is that they realize that # the measure were ever to go back to the house as it would have to if amended. il would very likely be killed, many of those who voted for it on Wednesday having had occasion since to question the proprlety of their ac- ton or to have it questioned by SOTne of their constituents.
 The feeling prevails in the capitol more strongly now than ever that tho bill is largely a move to commercial ize Sunday, as the present home rule bill is considered to give municipalil ties as much authority as is necessary for the permitting of amateur sports on the Sabbath. - ,.---
