McKenna again secured the floor and
continued his argument. He disclaimed
any intention to reflect upon any one, but
when it was stated in the press th the

the House had right to take notice OF it.
In fairness to the chairman Of the COM
Emitree ON enrolled bille, he would state
that Morrow himself had gone to Kilgore
this morning and told him that Edmunds'
resolution had been tabled, and Morrow
asked him about transmitting it to the
President. Kilgore said he would do his
duty in this regard. That might or might
not be an evasive answer. Lest it might
be an evasive answer. the resolution had
been offered.
After further debate, the Speaker pro tenn
SUSTAINED THE POINT OF ORDER.
There was no law or rule prescribing the
manner in which billsshould be transmitted
to the President, but the practice had
grown up OF entrusting that duty to the
Committee ON Enrolled Bills. One days
delay was not unusual. The average time
it took for bill to reach the President,
after having been signed by the presiding
officers OF the two houses, was three days.
