Noble Peterson wished to explain
his vote. 4 number of months ago
members of his party had waited on
him and requested him to support the
bill. Many hundreds wished it. He
talked with many able and respect
able men who favored it. He took the
hAobbIl 1hlO OOllSluCldILOug anu
to the conclusion that it was justi-
fable bill to pass, and he promised to
vote for it. If he had it to do over
again he might do differently. He did
not care whether he was the only
white man to vote for the bill or not;
nor whether his political career ended
tomorrow. He should keep his pro-
mise and vote no. [Applause.l
Noble Cornwell-Mr. President: So
far it may appear that have lent
some encouragement and support to
this bill. ] will say now that my
constituency have required this of
me. There is a time, however, Mr..
President when the demands of a
constituency must be disregarded, and
feel this is the time when l should
take this course, and refuse my sup
port to a measure which believe will
meet with most disastrous results to
this country. My promise was given
in caucus to support this bill, and /
have regretted it ever since, and I |
would ask the intrOducer of this bill |
to release me from my promise. If he
cannot do so, regret to say / must |
vote against the bill.
