Wisconsin Senate Defeats Stevens Primary Bill Amid Split Amendments
The Wisconsin Senate defeated the Stevens bill on a late night vote of 20 to 13 for non concurrence. The Hagemeister substitute passed 19 to 14, making primary elections optional for counties on county and town officers. The Hatton and Miller amendments were rejected 19 to 14, and the Kattan amendment to extend to legislative nominations was also turned down 19 to 14. Debate stretched from 7:36 to 10 p.m. with staunch stalwarts prevailing and the Hagemeister bill likely heading to the assembly unchanged except for its county-option clause.
