democrats who opposed removal wero
Grace. Krumliach and Brrilth. Kepub'U
.cans who opposed removal were Dodg-s,
Heasty, the two Hdaglands and Mar
shall. The arguments against the bill were at
times very warm and the city of Lin
coln waa frequently strongly criticised,
for Its selfish action In looking after its
own Interests' Instead of the Interests of
tho atato university In the future.
Those who spoke against the bill and,
for removnt to tho farm- were: Ollls,
Kemp, Itoynolds, MacFarlsnd, Placet.
Grossman, Saunders, Talcott, Shumway
and Hummel, the latter making his fim
speech of the session.
Kemp Outline Situation.
In speaking affdlnst the bill Kemp sold
that In making their report to Governor
Aldrlch the stnte university regents had
said t that the heat Interests of the state
university would bo conserved by moving
to the state farm, and whllo their later
report favored the McKlsslclt bill they
were still of the same opinion and only
j agreed In the latter because they did
I not believe that the removal could be
j made.
Reynolds exhibited a map of the six
blocks to bo purchased under tho pro
visions of the bill and also an estimate
as to what two ot tho leading real estate
men of Lincoln had said the block
would cost. One o( these men had given
the amount as $587,000, and the other aa
$337,000. Tho senator said that this in
dicated that nobody knew what the
property would cost, and therefore, tho
state should not enter Into anything of
the kind. He said that It tho state
turned down the proposition it would
save $50,000 a year for tho next ten years.
For the bill Hoaglnnd of Lancaster,
was the principal speaker and said that
if the students of tho university and the
i students ot the .farm were placed to
gether they wou(d not rnlxi and would
be fighting all the time. He regretted
that .the honesty of the city of Lincoln
hud entered into tho controversy and
hold that Lincoln had always kept faith
with the people ot the state.
Removal llonnd to Come,
MaoFarUtnd said that removal waa
bound to come some time and the longer
It was put off the more expensive It
would be to the state.
"It Is not a question ot dollars and
cents," said he, "but a question of what
Is for the best Interests ot the boys and
girls of the future."
