This writing will say to you that
the house passed that awful beer bill
today 5S to 80 without the
clause. Friends to beer held the house
in a deadlock for 10 minutes on the
call of the house hoping to put on the
emergency clause which the house
failed to do. The hope of the beer
friends now rests in the senate TO put
on the emergency clause. To do that
they must have % votes out of 33.
While the friends of the beer bill are
anxious for the senate to take up the
bill Wednesday but the finance bill
will have preference and the finance
committee, I think will report their
bill for action Wednesday morning.
When the beer bill came up this morn
ing any member had a right to object
to its consideration. The first action
was by Tremmor Cone of Valley to
send it back to the committee of the
whole for a specific amendment. Both
sides listened to Cones explanation
then voted down his motion. Then
Speaker O'Malley said shall the bill
pass with the emergency clause. Rep.
Vance OF Milford rose to object.
O'Gana, a strong beer advocate, join
ed him. Both pointed out that the bill
had not been on the board long e.
nough but the chair ruled that no OBJ
lection was made when the bill was
taken under consideration. O'Gana's
appeal was beaten by a tie vote of
35-35. Then w. H. Meirs of Lincoln
backed by Frank Hopping of Wayne
moved for a reconsideration. The mo-
ton secured a majority Of 1928, but
lacked the 81 votes required for re-
consideration. so the famous beer bill
came to a final vote. The speaker
rang the gong, lights flashed on the
electric voting machine. The beer
leaders were disappointed for they
had only SIS votes when they needed
81, but they Immediately moved for
a call of the house and the total
reached SO. The beer advocates said,
IF we can get go votes, look for a
landslide" But the landslide did not
come.
My personal conviction is that the
beer bill will pass the senate, but l
doubt it carrying the emergency
clause, if so it will be close.
The senators are getting tired and
want to get through and rather than
make a delay they may not vote
either way. Both the senate and the
house are fighting with short arms
now. They want to get away by the

LIST Of May.
Many bills will go to the slaughter
pen in the closing few days.
It is now a great question, in my
mind, whether or not the Governor
will sign said beer bill which if he
don't will mean a further delay.
In the next writing, I will say when
we hope to close.
Other bills of Importance have been
dealt with in both house and senate

the house. The big fight aside from
the beer bill will be the budget or
