SACRAMENTO. Feb. 7.— The Sen
ate passed the Held- Wright direct
primary constitutional amendment to
day By a unanimous vote^ after a
partisan tempest in a teapot, which
resulted in the Lieutenant Governor
advising Senator Camineyi by direct
inference that the Amador \statesman
was not a gentleman and ordering the
sergeant at arms to force the insistent
Democrat into his seat.
For the" first time in the memory
of veteran Senators the previous ques
tion was moved today in the Senate.
This unusual ; procedure was the cul
mination cf an exhibition of partisan
bitterness engendered by .the , remarks
cf Se-ator Caminetti,: construed
resent^a •by the Republicans ; as gratui
>*tous h plxtisan- insult.-'?::
As ; forecasted by The Call.Vthei Held j;
"Wright, amendment was made a party
measure in Republican caucus .this
morning, and that after a fight. Sena^
tors "Wright* and • L>eavitt led the fight
for the adoption of the proposition as
passed by the Assembly and amended
by the Senate committee .on elections
and election laws. There : was opposi
tion and plenty of suggested altera
tions and a proposition to draft a new
-
amendment, which should be .known
'simply as .a party measure. "When the
\u25ba ~ caucus scrap was over and Wright and
Leavitt had won the Republicans filed
into the Senate, prepared to listen good
naturedly to the attempts of Caminetti
to participate in the framing ef a prop
osition as suggested by. his announced
programme. The good humor was
promptly knocked out of the Repub
licans by Caminetti's charge that they
did not represent a majority of the
people, but a machine; that they were
acting in bad faith, and finally by the
suggestion that the secretary and not
the Lieutenant Governor was conduct
ing the proceedings of the Senate.
CAMI.\ETTI SaUELCHED
Caminetti broke into his partisan
play with an attempt to name specifi
cally the nomination of United States
Senators in the amendment to be sub
mitted. Recognizing it as an attempt
to make political capital through the
foregone defeat of an unnecessary spe
cialization, the majority laughingly
voted the proposition down, after San
ford had added an" impassioned ] speech,
in which be charged the Republicans
with bad faith, toward the efforts of
CarainettL
Cajninettl came back with- another
amendment, which .. obviously had as
• its only purpose the creation of further
opportunity for oratory. It was then
that he paid his respects to the major
ity in a manner that raised bad' blood.
He charged the Republicans r with ; rep
resenting the "machine" and not the
people, after telling them to hasten
any legislation they wanted labeled
."Republican,** for this would be* the
last Republican Legislature for many
a year. His remarks stirred Leavltt
to move the previous question and, the
Republicans Insisted upon it being put.
Porter shared fully in the Republican
anger, and when in the face of*; the
motion for the previous question Caml-,
nettl sought unanimous consent to ex
plain further his proposed amendment
he added the last straw to the presid
ing officer's load -by shouting:
Vl' ask unanimous I ask
that my appeal' from the Senate be put
to the Senate and I ask the president,
, not the secretary."
"Take your seat!" thundered the big
voice of the Lieutenant Governor.
Caroinetti declined to hear the com
mand, and hanging his gavel Porter
Ehouted:
"Sergieant "at arms, set him "down."
