men at Washington are undecided, hos
can we be expected TO define our views
with only gsrbled accocnts of what has
been done? | want no great delay bu!
We had better understand the subject
The republicans IN the house opposed
the bill and Clifford don't like it. MIR,
Gamble made q motion to adjourn until
Friday night, bat withdrew it by re-
quest.
j. nj. Fogerty; We have been trying
Tor several years to secure admission and
we ought to take advantage of the pres
ent opportunity.
Phil K. Faux: [ favor speedy ad-
mission and see no obi cotton to the reso-
l%ationa. I favor them because l favor
speedy admission.
G. II. Scougai: The resolutions in no
way endorse the Springer bill. Why
not pass them and add to our action
later. if necessary?
J. r. Gamble: The resolutions sre
all right, bat we want to be in shape to
say in definite terms what we want.
l.. d. F. Poore: I don't believe we
will be any better prepared in two weeks
than we now ara. Are we not ready to
say tonight hot We want division and
admission?
u. Z. Wilcox: The Springer bill may
cheat US out of division. The resolu-
tions state in express terms that we want
division and admission.
g. w. kinRsbary: We are ell Of one
mind relative to division and admission
and if these resolutions are going to help
oG- friends ] am for them. Our infor.
nation is unsatisfactory. We find our
delegate opposed to the bill and / would
like to know his reasons. There is some
serious objection to the bill or Clifford
would not oppose it. l propose thai
the chairman telegraph Clifford asking
bis full reasons by telegraph for oppos-
ing the bill. I make this as q motion.
The chair: There is already q motion
before the house.
L.. B. French: The resolution praoti-
cally endorses the Springer bill. Clifford
is always all right and if he is opposing
this bill it is with good reason.
Governor Edmunds: I second Mr..
Kingsbury's motion and make it a sub :
stitute for the resolutions.
0olonal JT,ck. GDr;o-o~ /, - -
o saint, but he has succeeded beyond all
expectation in passing this bill. II is
best to favor its passage than to take
chances, The best and speediest way
is the choice.
M P. Ohlman: The telegram says
the bill is satisfactory to Dakotaians
there. What more do we want? That
must include Clifford.
E.G Smith: We are hera on the cali
of Judge Trips telegram. The purpori
of that telegram is-will the people urge
the passage of the Springer bill?
would Go nothing 70 delay one dc;
the admission OF Dakota. But it would
be rather precipitate to endorse the
Springer bill when our delegate opposes
1t. Let us take q little time over this
l agree with Mr.. Kingsbury's motion.
