clared, must soon be unertaken or
Congress would Bud Itself hopelessly

cfHalf a dozen membors agreed with

expect them to attend the meetings of

from one committee, he said, to mak
a quorum In another. Senator Clapp
said the size of committees and the
tendency to gratify the ambitions of
senators by- giving them committee
assignments they desired without re

Col un: h in. Feb.. 19.--The opponents
of primary election reform made en
ineffectual effort tljls morning to re
commit the Kiley bill throwing safe
guards around primary elections. By
a vote of 62 to 43, the House refused
to recommit the bill. Had the meas
ure been recommitted that would bava
been the end.of . lt for this eerelou.
Allowing for absentees on both sides
of the question of primary reform, the
vote Indicates that there is a stronger
sentiment in favor of the MSley bill
today than yesterday. It is poestbve
that tf the Governor vetoes tho mea

! The Mlley bill provides that the
county executivo committees .shall
review the hooka of primary registre-,
tion before the election and strike off
all namtes which should dot appear
thereon. The Miley bill, though,
makes the reform of the primary more
of a party matter than the dead Sen
ate bill did.
The chief difference between the
bill which the House passed yester
day morning and the one It killed
Tuesday night is that the bill whtch
vent through provides for one super
visor of primary registration ia et*>\
county to be elected by the coup?/
convention a, whereas th?? bill' V ?
was killed, said that the registration
for erimsry eleetl'jsii chaula be left
in the bands of the secretaries of tfie
