March 18th is the birthday of
Grover Cleveland, born 1847 and
died in 1908. Cleveland defeated
the Republican candidate James
G. Blaine of Maine. The triumph
was chiefly due to a division in
the Republican ranks. It was the
first Democratic victory since the
days of Buchanan. Cleveland was
defeated in a second term by Wil
liam Harrison in 1888, but he
again won out in 1892.

The bill’s death came after Sen.
E. B. Collins, challenged a labor
witness with a demand to know if
he was trying to hold a strike
threat over the Senators’ heads.
The momentary clash came
when Sen. Anita Garnick asked
T. E. Erickson, secretary of the
Territorial federation of labor, if
the wage and hour bill would help
prevent strikes. He replied:
“Yes. If we can’t get it in this
bill we will have to get it the hard
„ *
way.”
Collins, veteran Republic a n ,
challenged:
“Is that a strike threat if this
bill does not pass?”
Erickson replied he didn’t mean
it as such.
Six Republicans—John G. Bu
trovich, Jr., Collins, L. P. Dawes,
Charles Jones, William Munz and
Andrew Nerland—were joined by
Democrats Frank Barr and How
ard Lyng to defeat the bill.
The Senate passed three other
bills:
Boosting aid for dependent chil
dren from $25 to $50 for the first
child, and $15 to $25 for each ad
ditional child; a bill providing for
pre-martial physical exam i n a -
tions; and a bill exempting pub
lic utilities districts, public power
associations and charitable insti
tutions from the motor fuels tax
for stationary engines. All were
passed previously by the House.
The House passed six Senate
approved bills, including:
Limiting a precinct to 500 vot
