ond reading and passed.
Mr.. Hileman asked that the rules be
suspended and the bill placed on it's
third reading.
Objection being made, a vote was
taken, and the motion to put the bill
on it's reading carried.
Mr.. EWart, in explaining his vote
said four years ago he bolted his party
and voted against the election law in
Congress. He was very much censured
for disobeying the caucus of his party
then, but in four years his course had
been endorsed by the people Of his
State and the people of his party. He
believed that the passage of this bill
would be ruinous to his constituents;
that it would not bring the relief it pro
posed and he believed that in two years
his course would be endorsed in this as
it was on the force bill.
The vote on the final passage of the
bill was Is follows:
