about a quarter of million dollars

Convention Measure Dies.
II any last ray Of hope remained
that party convention bill or a bill
amending the primary law would be
enacted at this session of the Legis-
lature, 1t was dispelled when, after a
final meeting, the House and Senate
conference committee on the amend
ments to the Warner-Hompe bill, the
committee reported that it was abso-
lutely unable to agree, and asked for
discharge, which was granted.
House members refused to accept
the Rockne bill, which the Senate had
adopted as an amendment to the War
ner-Hompe bill, and the Senate con-
ferees would have nothing but the
Rockne bill. Thus all hope of
nominating candidates for Office by
the convention system next year was
dissipated. y
