There has been another scene in The
House at Springfield, and the knowing
ones say that Speaker Hainc, "prt hi,
foot into it, again.
On Thursday the liquor bill was under
consideration by sections, and the first
section had been read by the clerk. Mr.
Moore, Of Marshall, moved to strike out
tire enactine words. The Speaker ruled
that the motion was out OF order. Mr..
Conkrite read rule q, that "a motion to
strike out the enacting words of bill
shall have precedence of motion TO
amend, and, il carried, shall be consid-
cred equivalent to its rejection"
Then great confusion arose, and final
ly the Speaker backed down from his rul-
ing. and vote was taken on the motion
of Mr.. Moore, of Marshall, which was
carried by vote of 73 ayes to 62 nays.
The bill thus killed by the striking out
of the enacting words, should have been
adopted. 1t modilics the present liquor
