resulted in its being adopted and the
passage of the Staples bill.

later in the day. The regular order
was frequently broken in upon, how
ever, as senators were anxious to get
measures through under suspension of
rules. When the calendar was reached
there was a scramble to have bills adj
vanced TO the calendar. Motions
poured in to that effect, and it was ap-
parent that nearly all the bills would
have been so advanced, if a storm of
objections had not put stop. to the
motions of that character. 1t was sug-
gested that a committee be named to
select for advancement such bills as
were not Objectionable. Another sug-
gested that each senator be allowed to
advance at least one bill.

discussion. 1t is one of Importance,

liable time. -,
Senator Morgan said the bill had
been recommended to pass by the com
mittee on public health, and then, by
some hocus-pocus, referred to theijudi-
ciary committee, where it should not
have gone, because no one would ques-
ton it's validity. -,
Senator Young retorted that he very
seriously questioned its validity.
Senator Stebbins declared it to be a
good bill and, different from the one
originally introduced.

Senator Sperry protested against
being given precedence over the ninety
other bills on general orders. n,
Senator Stevens said it would now
be on the calendar had it not been de-
layed by a reference to the judiciary
committee. The motion to refer had
not been heard, and he assumed it was
made in a low tone.
President Day corrected the senator
by stating that the motion had been
made in a clear voice and was dis
cussed at the time.

be given chance to pass law of so
much Importance to them.
