amendment and believe II 10 be in

Text OF Amendment.
The statement being distributed
gives the legislative history of the
proposed amendment stating that in
accordance with the provision OF the
construction II has passed both
branches OF two successive leeisla-
lures and the only further require
ment to make the amendment effec-
tive is a yes vote by the voters at
election time. The proposed amend
ment is contained in the statement,
and is as follows:
THE governor shall have power
to disapprove any item or items Of
any bill making appropriations Of
money embracing distinct items while
at the same time approving the re-
mainder Of the bill. and the part or
parts of the bill so approved shall !
become effective and the item or
items of appropriations so disap-
proved shall not take effect unless
the same are separately reconsidered
and repassed in accordance with the
rules and limitations prescribed for
the passage of bills over the execu-
tive veto. In all cases In which the
governor shall exercise the right of
disapproval hereby conferred he shall
append to the bill at the time of
signing 1t statement of the item
or items disapproved, together with
his reasons for such disapproval and
transmit the bill and such appended {
statement to the secretary. If the +;
general assembly be then in session S
he shall forthwith cause copy of
such statement to be delivered to the
house in which the bill originated for
in conformity with
the rules prescribed for legislative
action in respect to bills which have
received executive disapproyal."
In word Of explanation as to how
the proposed amendment will work is
the following example is con-
tanned in the statement:
1T sometimes happens, either by
purpose or accident, that a large
number of specific appropriations will
De contained in a single bill. Most
If the appropriations may be desir-
tble and some of them may be abso-
utely necessary for the conducting of
state affairs. Some of the specific
however, may be, in
he opinion of the governor, wasteful
Ind unnecessary Under our consti-
.ution as it now reads, the governor
nay face the dilemma of either ap-
proving appropriations which he
leems unwise or vetoing appropria-
ions which are both wise and neces-
ary."

position of power in the senate that

would be no doubt Of his winning.
Governor Bryan declined to COM
ment on the decision of Senator
Norris. declaring that he was in no
position at this time to make any
statement. Other democrats in the
statehouse were silent.
In many quarters 1t Is believed
Governor Bryan will now discard all

With Norris out Of the race, the
republican senatorial possibilities that
are mentioned around the statehouse
include G. II. Gustafson. who has
already announced his candidacy; A.

Labor Party
Is Opposed
by Unions
Move to Launch Organization
for Political Action De-
feated 25 to l by
A. F. of L.
Holds to Own Strength

Portland, Ore, Oct. 9.-The Ameri
can Federation of Labor went on rec
ord emphatically today against
launching into the political field,
through the formation of the separ-
ate labor party.
Tho convention here by a vote of
25,066 yes a sagainst 1895 no, 1918
not voting) approved a report of the
resolutions committee which recon-
mended rejection of four resolutions,
60 closing participation in politics as
an organized independent party.
Action on the political resolutions
followed the most spirited debate that
the convention has seen. Advocates
of political activity by organized labor
presented their pleas and they were
answered by an officer of the feder-
alton and delegates on the floor
Matthew Woll, vice president OF
the federation and secretary Of the
resolutions committee, pleaded for re-
lection of the political resolutions, ar
guing that labor should not place Its
destiny In the hands of a political
party but should rather depend upon
the stability of the trade union move
ment. He feared that introduction OF
political questions in labor's realm
.xould destroy the economic power of
organized labor.
D. A. McVey of the Chicago FEEDER
alton OF Labor, who introduced one OF
the political resolutions declared that
he wished to say in defense of him
self that he and his associates were
not communists. He said the only
way labor could accomplish anything
permanent would be through political
action
