INK BOTTLES AND ARGUMENT
SANDS AND EVANS
HAVE "GO" ON
FLOOR OF HOUSE
'During Course of Argument on School Land
Bill Members From Short Grass County
• • Pass Lie and Grab Ink Bottles
No complulnt of lack of life could be
made ugalnst yeeterday's house proceed-
ings, either through the monotony of din
cushion or becaiise the afternoon was de
f raid of feature. The question of whether
Fisher's or Murray'* school land bill shall
be accepted as a basis upon which to
work seems Just sifl far from a determin-
ation as ever, although many predictions
are rife that to Fisher, the original au-
, thor of the school land measure and the
hardest and moat conscientious worker
for the leasees, will be the credit of what-
ever legislation Is obtained at this ses-
sion.
The session which was characterized
by speeches of great length and earn-
estness was considerably enlivened by a
ft projected mill between Sands and Evans,
arlnlng over the statements of the latter
that he had been subjected to bulldozing
at the hands of his brother members of
the party In the house, for the purpose
of Influencing his vote on certain meas-
9 tires, which tactics, he assorted, had been
employed to cause him to support the
Fisher bill rather than Murray's fnih-
erttute.
The Incident occurred during an hour's
argument delivered by Evans, filled with
explanations of his votes on various prop-
• osltions and assertions of his independ-
ence of thought.
Goaded by a sotto voce remark to the
effect that his party had no use for him,
Evans hotly declared that his fellow re-
publicans had attempted to tell him how
to vote on the school land bill and that
he did not propose to be bossed by any
set of men.
Dr. Sands jumped to his feet and
shouted:
"The gentleman has been continually
• seating his Independence on the floor
of the house, by repeatedly saying that
he iip^ being bulldozed by his party lead-
ers. T want to say that no one has tried
to Influence the gentleman's vote on this
proposition and when he spates that su-h
k influence has boen used, he states
thing that Is false."
