courage any person or persons to moe5t or interfere
with any other person the lawful enjoyment Of
bis property or in the carrying of his lawful bust
ness shall be guilty OF amisdemeanor and punished
accordingly"
Mr.. BRAuNHAsT opposed the bill most strenuously
TWAS, he said aimed at one man-and one man
oniy-and that the President OF great
party. II was simply the old gag law over again.
Mr.. TYLER said this was bill which no honest
man need fear to support 1t was to prevent pro-
fame language on the stump and who need fear
that II was to prevent men from melting to in
cendinry acts. and who need fear that2 1t made
the ofense simply punishable as misdeineanor,
while under the former law it was felony
Mr. LANE opposed the bin vigorously. He de-
Douneed it as the first step in the programme to
silence tree speech and steal the State in the Presi
dental campaign. Pretty soon the writ of habeas
corpus viii be suspended, and then anarchy viii
prevail The regular army has already been ordered
here and the plot thickens.
Mr.. Fox denied that this blow aimed at one
individual. He wanted to know ii any man had
placed himself entirely outside the pale Of the
law that every penal law passed must be presumed
to be aimed at him. He wanted the public peace
p.otected-not by counter mobs, but by lawful
means. The State has run red with blood in times
past but there should he no more necessity for mob
execution.
Mr.. sIsos said the only object OF the bill was to
re-enact the old gag law which Lad been already
wiped from the face of the books He read letter
from citizer Of San Francisco, showing that all the
people wanted was work Ii they would put the
pc pie TO work instead of hiring so many police
men, there would be peace and harmony.
Mr.. MAyBELL spoke against the bill. The man, he
sad at whom it lsaimed is already in prison, under
laws already on the statutes. This would be good
law for Russia. II such law had been enforced
during days of the revolution there would never
have been free republic. He believed emphatically
in free speech and free press.
Mr.. MCCARTHY also opposed the bill. 1t will
simply heap fuel upon the fire already blazing and
help to keep up the agitation and the people in
state Of turmoil and trouble. It is impossible to
enforce such a law, because it is severe, and it
is liable 20 be abused in certain cases by vindictive
persons
1ir. McDADE said it was simply re enacting the
infamous gag law, which so odious to the people
that II was never in force. When the Senator from
Sacramento two years ago, voting aga nst its pas
sage said he would live to see 1t repealed by unani-
mons vote he spoke with prophetic voice Moth
ing would suit corrupt and uuprncipled men better
than to see such law as this niorced against men
VINO expose their schemes Of plunder.
On cali Of the roll the bill was rejected by 4 vote
OF 40 10 30.
