spoke briefly IN favor Of its passage.
Representative Ciapp made a grandllo-

ever, before the Democrats exhibited
signs of dissent and shortly nearly ey-
| eryone was upon ms feet and oedlam
was let loose, Representative Hall being
| called 10 order 10y Democrats from all
parts of the House. He appealed 10
| the Speaker To protect hIm in his floor
privileges and was sustained, but OBJ
serving the storm which he had precip-
ltated he turned the remainder of hls
remarks to another line of argument.
When he had concluded, Representa-
tive Barkworth sprang to the defense
| of the Governors record, and also of
| his action upon the bill. He severely
| arraigned Representative Hall, as did
| others. Representative Hail asserted
that ne had stated nothing that had
not become part of the history of the
State and, If the Democratic party de-
sired at this distance from the events to
endorse the war record of their Gov
ernor, there was no objection. AS a

and bill that was dead at the begin
nlng was disfgured after death by
| their onslaught. The session had now
been prolonged until nearly p. M,
and partisan explanations were being
| sent up in profusion, when Representa-
tive Dlekema asked tor ruling from
the Speaker as to the parliamentary
right to inject this post mortem explain
alton into the record. Partisan feeling
was at the food, amid which an agree
ment was reached to take a recess until
3 p. m, at which hour the House con-
vened, and Representative Cook sent
up another partisan explanation of his
vote. Representative Diekema inter-
posed objections, as it impugned the
motive of the Republican party in the
| House. Representative Cook replied
at some length, insisting that it evi-
IDENTITY was n conspiracy on the part of
the Republicans to defeat the bill and
place the responsibility upon Democrats.
Representative Barkworth hoped the
gentleman would modify his statement,
and others spoke in the same line.
Representative Hall explained his posi-
ton and SAID he had no apology to
offer for his views and he claimed a
perfect right to express them, but they
were in no sense, SO far as ne knew, the
embodiment of the views of any other
Republican on the floor. Represents
tive Cook insisted that his resolution he
inserted IN the journal, but suhse-
| quently modified it and 10 was ad-
mItted. After some other explanations
| for the journal, matters assumed their
normal condition and the ordinary
routine was taken up.
