Wisconsin Assembly Set To Pass Primary Election Bill
A test vote in the Wisconsin assembly shows the primary election bill will pass by a strong margin with action likely tonight or tomorrow. Friends of the bill pushed for immediate action while others held back, with several absentees siding with the minority. The senate moved to place a woman on the state regents board and to engross a bill on normal regents. A racing bill opposed by agriculture interests faced likely rejection, and traveling libraries gained rapid approval after Winnebago county advocates pressed for county board action.
