clared that outside influences" are 1t

REFERRED TO GOVERNORS
There was little doubt that tho
whiting senator referred to Governor
Goodrich and possibly members OF the
republican state organization when re
denounced the outside influence. Tho
speech was brought about in support
Of motion introduced by Senator
Nejdr asking that committee OF two
senator's be named to wait on the gov
ernor this morning at 10 o'clock and
have him come before the senate to
explain his position on the home rule
tax bill and the Kiper curative tax
bill.
WHAT MAJORITY THINKS
There is disposition among the
members OF the majority in the SEN
ate TO side with Senator Nejdl in re-
senting attempts being made to DIR
ect the course OF legislation from the
executive branch OF the state govern
Inent. but il was recognized that tho
Nejdl motion waos not intended by its
author to be successful since his
speech condemned the very thing his
| motion demanded-namely that out
side direction be brought to the SEN
ate to guide it in its course.

The Nejdl motion was finally tabled
by vote Of % to u The two re-
publican senators who voted with sen
ator Nejdl against the tabling Of the
