To rcurch tln.m out, to mluhtor Montpcllcr, Jan. 2). Senium D.irllns of Orange held the center of tho stage to day, arguing iiimoHt alone in favor of Ills proposal of amendment to the direct primary bill introduced bv Mr. Illanch aid ot Windsor. The P.lanchnrd bill, S. Ill, provides for a simple, direct primary election system. The amendment proposed by Mr. Darling is the substitution of II. 423, introduced in the House by Xlr. Adams of Marlboro. This bill retains the present caucus, con vention and delegate system, but permits the voters to Instruct their delegates, but as Mr. Darling would amend It, these In- structlorui woul dnot control after tne first ballot. PEATtED FOR SMALL TOWNS. Mr. Darling considered that the pro posed bill would datroy majority control and was a reversal of the system under which Vermont hus worked ev.-r slnco Its organization, lie de-sired to preserve the town as1 the unit of government and believed the intluence of tho small towns v oiil.l be destroyed by the bill. So far as party pbdges Hi'" concernisl, he pointed out that the word "primary." which np p ured in the origin l draft of tho repub lican platform of "'12, was stricken out bv the convention, nnd argued from that that the party had not p-omiscd and the people did not demand a direct prl m.ir law Lleutenant-Governoi Howe spoke strongly In favor of the bill, the commit tee having voted that he have tho priv ilege of participating in tho debate. Con sideration of the measure has been post poned several times while ho was In the hospital, as he desired an opportunity to be heard on tb- hill Mr Howe, who strongly fnvoied such legislation when a member of the lower house, made a lucid argument In favor of tho bill and against the amendment. ' '"w'lNS UNEXPECTED VICTORY. Mr. Darling won an unexpected vic tory In securing tho adoption of his amendment, the vote being 19 to 11. Pas sago of the bill Is delayed till to-morrow afternoon, that two amendments pro posed by Mi. Mower may be printed. Mr. HIanchard of Windsor was strong In Ids suppoit of the original bill, not only from perj-onal connection but from n desire lo carry out the wishes of his constituents. The senators who voted against the nfiiptlon of the amendment proposed by Mr. Darling believe that as amended the h. 11 Is not in ,niv sense a primary elec tion act but simply an nttcmpt to tefnim remodel the caucus Inw, and while they may vote for the passage of the bill as the only measure of relief for them to consider, thoy do not bellevo that It meets t. e demmds of the people. AIMED AT HOLDING COMPANIES. An Important mensure, Introduced In tho Houso this morning by the com mittee on corporations, Is aimed at holding companies and follows tho lines of the recent veto by Governor Fletcher. It Is designed to prevent any corporation fiom owning, holding, selling or In any way dealing in the shnies of another eorpoi.-itiou. The Senate went into executive s-s-slon Immediately after taking action on the primary bill and without ob jection lonllrmed the three nomina tions sent to It yosterday bv the Gov ernor.
