ters to his constituents yesterday ex-
planning why he voted for that $4,000
contingent fund.
/ The Democrats had to press the
/ claims Of the whole territory; the Ike
publicans have been too busy looking
after special interests
Would Allen take it as a gratui-
tous insult if some member should pro-
pose that the minority be given time
] to put in reports on bills?'
/ After awhile every committee will
present its report to Hatch for in
spection, so as to shut him off and
keep down debate on rules.
Mason sits away back on the Repub-
lican side and lets an occasional look
I of pain cross his face, when listening
! to Aliens bulldozing tactics.
Allen doesn't seem to care whether
his arguments are logical or not. He
! knows he has his majority behind him
and he can do as he likes.
In the debate on rules, whenever a
point was thought to be settled and
things seemed to be settling down
Hatch would mix 'em up again
Stanford did little talking in the
! first part of the session. Now he
hardly opens his mouth except to vote
the way in which he sees Allen go.
Judging from the number of times
Varian has to consult Hatch, he is
either the most refractory or most
stupid member on the Republican
side.
Among yesterdays members of the
third House were Judge Merritt, Judge
Miner, Mayor Baskin, Marshal Pratt,
Hon. w. H. King and Spencer Claw
son.
Some members, who did not know
that the committee on rules had left
out the benediction, asked yesterday
! if the session would not close with
prayer.
Does Johnson, the lightweight mem
Der for Sanpete believe that he can
benefit the people by making a mort
as the mortgages thereon?
The chaplains opening prayer con-
tains about twenty-five words For
this he gets Said 81. That would
mean, according to newspaper compu-
tation, about $3.50 a column
The Dougall contest case has been
referred to Provo so that evidence may
be taken. The committee son elections
will lose no time in running the re-
port in, as they want that extra seat,
and want it badly.
If Varian hopes to hold his Republi-
can majority together he had better
stop slapping Speaker Emery, by max
! ing remarks deprecatory of the pene-
/ tration of that gentleman He tried
it again yesterday.
President Breeder received a letter
from one of his constituents yesterday
expressing the opinion that Weber
county had been honored by the
choice and that there is an honest man
at the head of the Council.
Sanpeters say that down in his own
district Johnson struts about like a
! CULVER in Lilliput land. Now, when
he is sized up with some of his CO.
workers he is about as small as the
same CULVER in Brobdignag.
The Council is so full of business
that it forgot its devotions at the
close of the session yesterday and the
members were leaving their seats with
out the usual ceremony, when they
were reminded of their omission by
the presiding officers.
There were two lively discussions in
the Council yesterday as to the inter
probation of certain rules of order
but it is noticeable fact that all de-
bates are conducted in dignified and
decorous manner. The Council seems
to be made UP of true gentlemen.
WINS arose yesterday to explain that
| he had not voted on the lead memorial
because the Speaker had rushed so
/ that he didn't know what was on. A
member on the Republican side moved
TO excuse him from voting, but WINS
said he didn't want to be excused.
The Utah Democracy has cause to
be proud of its representatives in the
Council Mr.. Williams legal acumen
added. to his native shrewdness, makes
him power in any deliberative body
Mr.. Seaman is wide awake and force
full Mr.. Hart is alert and a good
speaker and Mr.. Lund is a model in
regard to his following the adage "Say
nothing except what will benefit your
self or someone else.'' While he does
not talk often every word tells" 1t
is hoped that Mr.. Adams will soon be
able to aid the efforts of the others
who are on the right side.
