noon, Mr.. Struble, Republican, of Iowa.
made bitter attack upon Speaker Reed for
his action toward gentlemen who have an
interest in public building bills, He con-
| trasted the courteous manner OF Speaker
Carlisle towards all gentlemen requesting
recognition with the almost sneering man.
ner which the present speaker treated such
requests The speaker treated the mem-
be.s as if they were boys. He did not pro-
pose to stand this SOFT of treatment any
longer without protest. should members
he asked, continue to submit longer like
towards to the dictation of the speaker?
Should they not rather combine together
in an honest attempt to have recognition
He was in rebellion against the ruling of
the speaker IN regard TO public building
bills.
Mr.. Struble's remarks were vigorously
applauded by Democrats.
Mr.. Cannon thought the gentleman from
Iowa had better have withheld his attack
upon the speaker, he (Mr. Cannon) did not
feel called upon to defend the speaker. The
speaker needed no defence at his hands.
Republican applause. The country had
approved the actions of the speaker and
the action of the Republican side of the
house.
Mr.. Peters, Republican of Kansas de-
Tended the speakers action.
Mr.. Struble said that the statement that
members with public building bills bad not
been fairly treated was a fact that he al
legged before the house and before the coun-
try. He agreed that the work OF the house
during this session had been grand
work. 1t had passed many bills for which
| 1t was entitled to the gratitute of the coun-
| try but that did not deter him from pro-
| testing against indignity put upon him and
other members. During the last ad-
ministration bills were approved for public
buildings in the South in places of 1000 in
habitants, and yet the Sioux City bill had
been vetoed. That was passed and gose now,
| but as he had said before, the speaker of the
last house had never failed to give courteous
treatment to members on the Republican
side. Democratic Applause. If few
members on the Republican side Of the
house had received courteous treatment, he
and many others had not and he did not
hesitate TO say so.
Mr.. McClammy, Democrat, of North
Carolina, in one minute speech expressed
his pleasure at being in company with his
Ewart and Coleman. This was feudal day,
and he was glad to enter the lists. This
was time when you could speak with your
mouth open. Laughter. One month
ago he would have been glad to have shaken
hands across chasm with Brother
Struble. Laughter. But this was no
time for regret. He was glad to know that
an occasion had arrived when gentleman
could have the courage OF his convictions.
Renewed laughter, which broke out
louder when Mr.. McClammy alluded to
Mr. StrubIe's failure to secure renOmina-
ton by speaking of beautiful tones of the
| dying swan.
| An amendment which gave rise to discus
| sion was that an appropriation of 100000
for the purpose of a suitable site for a
building for a supreme court.
In speaking on this amendment Mr.. Car
ruth, Democrat, of Kentucky, regretted
that the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Struble)
had made an attack upon the speaker be.
