Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1893-03-17

WOMnns suffrage Oil, from the governor
which motion had some hours pre-
viously been tabled.
"IIere is where the trouble com
menced. Mr.. Little's motion to recall
was properly seconded, and therefore
properly before the senate under the
suspension Of rules by which the house
amendments to bill 1913 had been con-
Cured in. After reasonable time for
discussing the motion, the question was
called for. It was repeatedly called
for from all parts Of the senate. But
President Wallace positively refused to
put the motion to vote. He gave no
reason, but simply declared it out of
order. Mr.. Little appealed from the
chair. Any member has a right to sp-
peal from any ruling, at any time. He
has also the right to have the appeal
put to vote. II 1t were not so the presi-
dent would be an autocrat and the body
Of the senate helpless.
"But President Wallace s%tubbornlX.
refused to recognize the appeal as he
had before refused to put the motion.
At last in defense of Senator Little and
the whole body of senators, I went for
ward, amidst great excitement, stated
the appeal, and demanded the clerk to
call the roll. President Wallace ordered
the clerk not to call the roll. l reiter-
ated my command to the clerk with en-.
phasis--aud the roll was called. The
appeal was sustained by a vote Of 16 to
Ia number of senators being absent
or not voting. I then went quietly up
to President Wallace and told him that
the majority of the senate were against
him, and that it would be better for him
to put the motion; otherwise I would be
compelled to do SO under order from
the caucus. He told me to go to
my seat, and he would do so after ex-
planning his understanding of the. other
matter.
"But after I returned to my seat, he
still delayed putting the motion. Then
Senator Palmer went up to President
Wallace, put his arm around the presi-
dents neck and whispered in President
Wallace's ear. As the motion was not
put I again went forward, when Mr..
Wallace again said if I would take my
seat he would put the motion. I went
quietly to my seat again. Then the
motion was put and the bill recalled.
"This is the whole story and it's accu-
racy is attested by the senate journal.
As to my going forward and stating the
appeal when President Wallace refused
to put 1t to vote, I will only say that the
senate caucus instructed me to do so
under rule II of the legislative manual
of the State of North Dakota. The re-.
port sent out by Mr.. Baker of the
Grand Forks Herald, does myself and
others an injustice in this, that Mr..
Wallace was not acting under senate
rules, for they were suspended before
recess, and even without Senator Sor-
ley's motion, after recess. they remained
suspended. If Nj. President. had put
the appeal according to rule II no
trouble would have occurred. I hope
the Forum will give the facts"
