ASSEMBLY VOTES TO RECALL
Final Passage Of Buckley Resolution
Marked by Remarkable Scene.
Evjue Makes Hard Fight to
Save His Liquor Bill.

Madison, Wis, May 22-Gov Philip
has vetoed the Evjue referendum bill.
His message was received in the house
today, at 10:55 a. M, five minutes be-
fore the bill would have become law
without his approval.
Judging from the special message
which Gov. Philip sent to the legisla-
ture on this subject last Thursday, the
veto is based on the grounds that the
bill was too sweeping in that it did not
permit saloons to operate for the sale
outside of the state should the state
vote dry, and for the further reason
that the bill would not permit farmers
to manufacture wines and elders for
their own table uses.
Recall Vote Precedes Veto.
For twelve hours both houses of the
legislature were tied up under call.
Members were summoned from all
parts of the state and ten minutes be-
fore the veto was filed the assembly
had gone on record by vote of Sc to
80 in favor of recalling the bill.
The Evjue bill has been in the house
for five months That this question
may become political one in the next
campaign is indicated by the record
votes demanded by Evjue and his SUP
porters, and by the further fact that
conference of all people interested
in this cause has been called at Madi-
son Thursday to discuss ways and
means of carrying the fight into legi5.
lative districts with the hope that the
bill may pass at the next session.
Resolution Up to Senate.
The senate, which was under call
of the house awaiting its position on
the recall resolution, went into session
at 10:55 to receive the assembly mes
sage. When the message was handed
to Chief Clerk Munson, Senator Frank
Hanson moved that it be taken up at
once. Lieut.. Gov Dithmar held that 1t
was out of the regular order of bust
ness and required suspension of the
rules. Before the senate could get into
the merits of the case, members
learned that the governor had filed his,
veto.

of Milwaukee had returned to vote.

ton to recall the Evjue bill, passed
the assembly 81 to 80. Sufficient
members had returned by 10:15 so
that the vets were able to raise the

was marked by remarkable scene,

speak on the resolution but Speaker
Whittet recognized Buckley and later

and sent to the senate.
