nrocesded to the consideration OF tho Dubois

,,o, on financial. tariA. and Federal election
r,oasures until next January. when the States
a, Washington. Montana. and Wyoming may
IA fully represented In the Senate. and Mr..
Dubois spoke In its support He described
tbs Importance Of tho question involved.
Three states were now. he said. deprived OF
their vote and Importance in measures that
vsrs vitality important to them. 1t was
n, fault OF the people OF those three
states that they were not fully repre-
,ortune. which tho Senate could cure.
Hs had no reasonable doubt that IL his resolu.
tlon were accepted the Governors and Legis-
lstures OF the three States would see to 1t that
their full quota OF Senators would be In the
Senate before the time fixed by him. He imag-
ined tho case OF force bill" being brought
before the Senate while three OF tho South
arm States were only partially represented. or
the case OF a tariff bill pending when three
New England States were in the like position: !:
and he asked whether. In the one case. the
constitutional right OF every State to have two
Senator's at all times would not be perfectly
plsin to Senators from tho South. aud. in the
ether case. be equally plain to Senators from
New England. 1t was dangerous. he said. to
proceed with the pending legislation until
those States. which were 80 seriously affected
BY IL, had q proper representation in the
Senate.
Mr. Mitchell rep. Orr said that while re-
cretting. as much as the Senator from Idaho
could regret. the fact that those three States
were deprived. for the time being. of ono Sem
ntor each. he regarded the proposition Of that
Senator as one OF the most remarkable that
had ever been presented 20 the Senate. For
that reason. not Notwithstanding his great sympa-
thy with those three States. he should oppose
the resolution to the bitter end. He put tho
case OF a Senator who had died. or had been
expelled and asked whether the Senate should
then "call halt :" until the vacancy was filed.
Such proposition could not be maintained
for q solitary moment, either now or at any
other time What steps had those States
taken during the last month looking to full
representation In the Senator Had the Gov
ernor OF any on OF them convened tho Legis-
lature for the purpose OF filling them?
Mr.. Chandler rep. N. H. suggested to Mr..
Dubois not to press the resolution for action.

Ing to vote at any time to postpone action on

suggested that the consideration Of the reso-

Then Mr. Wolcott rep. Col ex pressed his

make known to the people Of the three States

went on to talk OF the action OF the Senate on
