Montana Senate clears file on repeal primary law to adopt convention nominating plan
In Helena on February 21 the Montana Senate, in committee of the whole, recommended passage of Senate Bill 59 to put a statewide vote on replacing the primary system with a convention style nominating method, while preserving primary caucuses. The vote was 25 to 19 after amendments to post voter lists, require ink signatures on caucus reports, and have counties pay delegate expenses. The body also seated Senator Schellenger and backed a state banking superintendent bill with five years Montana residency, and endorsed a clause restricting a banker from borrowing or holding stock in banks. A separate resolution approved surveying education needs for a possible new eastern or northern state normal school.
