He asked for a conference on all the amendments to the free list bill except thai of Senator Gronna ot North Dakota putting cement on the free list.

The house originally passed the bll 220 to 100. The vote in the senate was 48 to 32. This by no means would be a safe number to pass the bill ovei a veto , but the possibility in case 01 the absence of a number of repub Hcans was deemed sufficient today t ( arouse the caution of those on guard Sixty votes wtmld be necessary to pasf over a veto in the case of the attend ance of all senators. The forty demo crats and thirteen progressive repub Hcans , together with Senators Nelsoi and McCumber , regular republican ! who voted for the bill originally , wouh aggregate fifty-five members , only flvi short of the requisite number.
