RESUBMIssIoN
The regular order had proceeded until
the order OF messages Of the senate was
reached without incident. On the first
reading OF senate bills when the title to
senate bill No. 5, Senate HaggarLs result
mission resolution was reached, MIR. Cooper
moved that the bill be indefinitely post
poned.
Mr.. SIMPSON moved as a substitute that
the bill be referred to the temperance COM
mittee. He regarded the attempt to sum
marlly suppress the bill as an insult to the
senate and unfair TO absent members.
Mr.. HODGSON moved to table the sub
Stltute, and the motion prevailed OF a di-
vision OF the house Is to %.
MIR. SIMPSON was engaged in securing
written pledges to support the resolution
when this matter was sprung, INC % Of
the necessary 81 had already signed the
pledge. lie was therefore absent from his
seat when his motion was made and was
called to order by HOdg ION.
MIR. WlNEMAN plead for fair play and
a fair show. He said quite a number who
are in favor OF the measure were absent,
and it was unfair to them to spring this
question now. 1t IS not lust to deprive the
people of being heard ON this subject when
their representatives are not present. 1t is
not only unjust but unrighteouS to thus
take advantage when their representatives
had no idea that the question was coming
up. He asked that the people through
their representatives be heard. Like Ban
quo's ghost the question will not down. 1t
will come back again ten fold stronger
thai before at the next legislature, II
those who vote for indefinitely pustpUning
this question will be- sorry for the unjust
advantage they have taken.
MI. COOPER was willing to take tho
consequences two years from now for the
action tak-n today.
MIR. SIMPSON said thousands vino were
not residents of this state, when this Ques-
ton was before the people, want to be
heard on it. The motion was %undignified
and unlike Mr.. Cooper. The members
ought to have an opportunity to consult
each other and with those who are not
here. The question will bear a great deal
OF discussion. For one he wanted the op
portunity to state MS reasons why the bill
should pass. He was opposed to sidetl ack-
ing any measure out OF its regular orders
and as long as God gave HIM strength he
would favor giving every bill a chance to
De heard on its merits.
Mr.. SNENSRUD thought the opponents
or the Dill We're taking a wrong course and
II this was persisted in he would vote for
resuOmlsslon. though he was not certain
that he would il the bill was allowed to
take Its regular course.
MI. COOPER saidt there was but one or
two OF the friends of the bill absent and an
equal lumber OF those oppUsed.
MI. SIMPSON raised the point that the
motl0n TO table the substitute carried the
blll with it but the chair ruled against him,
he moved that the courtesies of the house
pc extended to Mrs. Devoe and that she be
invited to deliver an address on woman's
suffrage.
