It cannot be for any other purpose. “There is no question as to Seha- tor Comah's stand on Referendum No. 2, the soldiers’ bonus bill, and he has repeatedly advocated” its adoption by the people, “Senator Coman has _ repeatedly urged that we should defeat the Carlyon bill, save the interest and pay the soldiers’ bonus. “On the other hand, Lamping introduced his bill, as t circumstances show, purely for po litical purposes. The bill was not prepared by him, and in the ordinary course of procedure would have been introduced for consideration first by the committee and then considered by the senate upon the committee's report.
