through the means of filibustering tactics, there
fore, in order that the business before us may be
properly and expeditiously considered, 30 that
the legislative assembly may adjourn at an early
day, be it
RESOLVED. That senate bill No. 1877 be taken up.
e or congidef tsdi in 9T De ana that the further con- ON
that the chief clerk be and is hereby instructed
TO notify the senate of the action of the house
thereon.
Mr.. STEVENS opposed the adoption
Of such a resolution. He said that he be-
lieved that at least a few were in favor Of
few were opposed on principle. BE was
in favor of laying the bill On the table, He
was not or had not been in favor Of hasty
action. He was in favor of giving the con-
stituents Of every member ample Opportu-
nifty to be heard on this question. From
the present condition of the treasury, he
thought there was strong arguments in ia
lieved in placing the bill on the table. He
for one was not a man to be ghosted by
private detectives, and he cOurted an in
veStigatiOn from any committee. He IA
vored the laying on the table because he
did not want to prevent the investigating
COuilllGtcO lIOUl dCtllks I1c WOFcU d. oil
amendment that the bill be laid On the
table.
Mr.. COLE thought the resolution was un.
fair, as it reflects on the minority. He be-
lleved the minority had reflected the Opin-
ion Of their constituents. He had given
credit to the majority for honesty and fair
ness, he demanded the same consideration
for the minority.
MIR. WALSH said in support of his reso-
luton. that while the objects Of the bill in
question were all right, he was satisfied
that 1t could not carry in this house with
out certain amendments, and he saw nc
possibility of agreement on these amend
ments. He believed this bill would be a
hindrance to other legislation. and it ought
lleve the indefinite ~postponement would in
terfe1e in any way with the investigating
committee. If he thought so, he would
not for one moment favor the resolution.
Mr.. WILLIAMS said he was in favor of
the resolution of the gentleman from
Grand Forks, but he did o tfavor that por-
ton which seemed to reflect on the minority
amendment that that portion Of the resolu-
ton be stricken out.
The amendment to lay on the table was
voted down, the amendment of Mr.. Will
liams was accepted and the original reso-
luton of Mr.. Walsh, to indefinitely post
pone senate bill No. 1877, was carried.

against the lottery bill from the st. Paul
Jobber's union and from business houses
