The records of the Senators thus honored show them worthy the machine's consideration. Their votes on the banner measures before the Legislature last winter were as follows: Against the Walker-Otis bill, to prohibit poolselling and bookmaking (Anti-Gambling bill) - Leavitt - 1. For the Walker-Otis bill-Bills, Curtin, Kennedy, Willis, Welch, Wright - 6. Only seven Senators voted against the Walker-Otis bill. Of the seven Leavitt is given the Alaska trip; Wolfe and Hare are put on the Food Investigation Committee. Thus of nine Senators who got on holdover committees three were among the seven who voted in the interest of the gambling element. The records made by the State Senators who will attend the exposition at the State's expense in the Direct Primary fight are quite as suggestive. When the first attempt was made in the Senate to force the machine amendments into the bill, February 18, the seven Senators voted as follows: For the machine's amendments - Bills, Kennedy, Leavitt, Willis. Against the machine's amendments - Curtin, Welch, Wright. Thirteen Senators on February 18 voted for the machine's amendments. Of their number Hare and Wolfe are on the Food Investigation Committee; Bills, Kennedy, Leavitt and Willis are to attend the exposition at the State's expense. Thus six of the thirteen have been rewarded. The machine, having failed to amend the Direct Primary bill in the Senate, amended it in the Assembly. When the measure was returned to the Senate, six of the seven Senators who will attend the exposition voted to concur in the Assembly amendments. They were, Bills, Kennedy, Leavitt, Welch, Willis and Wright. Only one of the seven voted against the machine amendments, Curtin. The records of the seven favored, trip-taking Senators on railroad regulation measures are as follows: For the Wright bill, against the Stetson bill; for the maximum rate, against the absolute rate - Leavitt, Welch, Willis, Wright, Bills, Kennedy - 6. Against the Wright bill, for the Stetson bill, against the maximum rate, for the absolute rate - Curtin - 1. Against the constitutional amendment to make clear the powers and duties of Railroad Commissioners - Bills, Kennedy, Leavitt, Welch, Willis - 5. For the amendment - Curtin, Wright - 2. Against the Burnett resolution calling for an investigation of the cause for an increase in freight rates - Bills, Kennedy, Leavitt, Willis, Wright - 5. For the resolution - 0. Absent or not voting - Curtin, Welch - 2. The records of the seven on the Local Option bill and the Change of Venue bill are: Against Local Option - Leavitt, Welch, Willis, Bills, Curtin, Kennedy - 6. For Local Option - Wright - 1. For the Change of Venue bill - Bills, Leavitt, Welch, Willis, Wright - 5. Against the Change of Venue bill - Curtin, Kennedy - 2.
