PUBLIC SHOWS
ANTAGONIST TO
REFER ENDUM
Returns From Circulators of
Petitions Indicate That 0p-
position to Code Bill
Is Waning.

Lincoln, Neb., May 2S.-From in
dications it is becoming evident that
the attempt to invoke the referen-
dunn of the civil code and the pri-
mary laws is failing down. People
coming to Lincoln from out in the
state report that as rule there is a
desire to see the new laws put in
force first, before being called up
on to pass Judgment upon them.
The referendum on both bills
started out with a great deal of a
hurrah, but as soon as the echo died
away, the thing appeared to fall of
its own weight. Generally speak
ing, the voters of the state are US
ually just little suspicious when a
bunch of politicians who have al
ways opposed a law and did their
best to defeat it in the legislature,
get together and organize to defeat
by referendum what they could not
accomplish during the session.
Both Laws Discussed.
People are beginning to under
stand that even as good law as the
referendum can be used wrongly.
When the legislature enacted the
law it was for the purpose of giving
the people a chance to pass Judg-
ment upon any law, where it ap-
peared that questionable methods
might have been used to have it
passed with undue influences behind
it. The code and the primary laws
were both discussed thoroughly and
the members knew just exactly what
they were voting upon.
There were half dozen bills in
PRODUCED in the legislature covering
amendments to the primary law.
The law that was finally passedtwas
the outcome of the best judgment
of the members based on what was
contained in all of those laws. The
two laws were not passed in the
closing days of the session when the
members were tired out and wanting
to go home, as represented by the
people who are invoking the refer
endum.
To Keep Record Straight.
Just to make the record straight
and let the people know the facts
in the. case the records on the two
bills is given.
Senate File 2, the code bill, was
considered by the senate in commit
tee of the whole, March 10, 10, 20,

Not at End of Session.
The legislature adjourned April
p, so as far as the bills being passed
during the closing moments as pub
lished by the referendum promoters,
the foregoing speaks for itself.
The charge has been made that
the primary bill was passed by the
votes of reactionaries and politicians
interested in the old convention
methods. If people would look up
the vote both in the house and the
senate it could be easily seen hat
most of the progressive members
of the legislature supported the bill
Here is the affirmative vote in the
senate: Aiolay, Bradstreet. Bushee,
Cooper. Good, Hall, Harriss. Hoag-
land. Houston, Johnson, Randall,
Reed, Robbins, Saunders, Simon,
Sturm, Tanner and Watson.
Vote in House.
In the house it appears that there
was no question but that the bill had
the support of the progressive ele-
ment The affirmative vote was:
Allan, Anderson of Knox, Axtell.

of the legislature can be found in
the list of names shown herewith as
voting for the amended primary
bill, and any effort upon the part of
the men who are trying to keep the
people from having a chance to see
how the new law will work out by
telling the voter that the bill was
