PRINTING THE MESSAGE.
Mr.. Donahue offered a resolution for print
ing the governors message in different Ian
guages, and said:
Mr.. Speaker: I offer this resolution as
consider it a very important one that concerns
the constituents of every member of this
house, and am surprised that a resolution
similar to this was defeated few days ago.
Every voter in this state who is not posted on
this railroad bond question, demands copy
of the governors message so that he can be
enlightened as to the proposition of the
bondholders, how it will affect the tax-pay
ers of the state and what the result will be to
him financially. Lots of people think the
settlement of this bond question, on the pro-
position now offered by the bondholders, is an
elephant before them, but when they know
that this debt can be settled without any tax
alton, they will feel as happy as if they were
three weeks in heaven before the devil knew
they were dead.
1t is due to the members of this house and
their constituents to place this message in the
hands of every voter, and the member who
opposes this resolution wants to keep his con-
stituents in the dark and blindfOld them.
Mr. Speaker, this message is fair and hon.
est exposition of the bond question, and re-
fleets credit on Governor Pillsbury, and should
be in the hands of every man who loves hon
esty and integrity.
l hope this house will not compel me to
make repetition of this resolution, therefore
move the adoption of the resolution.
Mr.. Wilson gave notice OF debate.
Mr.. L. L. Baxter moved to suspend the rules
After debate by Messrs. Wilson, Hicks
Grazing and Rice the resolution was lost
Yeas, 45; nays, Is.
NAMING A SENATOR.
The house then went into special order fol
the naming of candidate for United States
senator.
A call of the house was ordered.
Mr. Norrrish presented the name of James
Smith, Jr. as candidate for senator, paying
him high compliment for his ability, kind
ness of heart and high manly qualities. He
was the noblest Roman of them all.
Mr.. Wilson took the greatest pleasure in
secondiHg the nomination.
Mr.. Sabin endorsed all that had been said in
praise of Mr.. Smith, but having gone into
the Republican caucus he felt bound by the
action of that body. He therefore presented
the name of Hon. William Window.
The roll was called, each member naming
his preference for senator. When the name
of Mr.. Dunn was called he arose and said he
was placed in the position of opposing for
partisanship what his heart dicates 1t would
give him one of the greatest pleasures of his
lie to vote for Mr.. Smith, for he esteemed
him more highly than he could express. He
would feel compelled to vote for Mr..
Window.
