would have made it possible to
strike out the clause but it was not
forthcoming. Both Senator Aldrich
and Senator Hunt voted against the
amendment offered by Senator Di-
Senators Brown and Dunn being the
other opponents.
The Dimond amendment was first
offered in Committee of the Whole

occurred just before the noon re-
cess. When the Senate resumed
work in the afternoon and the
measure was taken up after being
reported from the Committee of the
Whole. Senator Dimond again Of
fered his amendment. 1t was lost a
second time by the same vote and
alignment.

who bought extensively about the race
