and he instructed them to be more careful
with their bullets Immediately after the
house was called to order Steunenberg in
troduced resolution thanking the speaker
for the fair, impartial and courteous man
ner in which he had presided.
Emery moved to strike out impartial ~
saying he knew the resolution was bum
combe and would not vote for something
that was not true. And every member
knew the speaker had been partial.
Ballentine said as every one had to go on
the record be would desist from further
talking against the speaker, and of course
every member knew the speaker had been
partial, but every legislature paid its
speaker some fattery, and this was
a very grave question. He said he
recognized the speaker as par
Humanitarian, but he had found reason
to know he had been partial and that he
had forgotten some of his duties and beer
influenced by some; and at this time he die
. not feel as if he could add a personal griev
, ance, and considered 1t merely the fault o.
, great number of persons, and had ne
, doubt but were he in the same position h.
would be as C3sarian and was willing Il
> bury in the grave all that had passed.
