Mr.. Stanyarne Wilson then sent uE
his amendment to make the per diem
50, and Mr.. MCGOWAN sent one which
which was section 1 as reported, with
one word changed-the date.
Then motion to adjourn was made
by Senator Tillman and he insisted on
the roll call amid the confusion. Pres
ident Evans had the greatest trouble
in bringing the house to order sutt
GENTLY to have the roll called. The
house refused to adjourn by a vote o1
25 to 81.
Senator Tillman. at this juncture.
rose and said that he had been reliably
informed that the majority of the con
yention had come here pledged te
vote for this 81 per diem. Therefore
if they wanted to commit political sui
eide, let them 90 ahead. l bow to the
will of the convention.
Mr.. Fitch said in the same spirit he
hoped that those who had made the
amendments would take the proper
steps to kill them and let the commit
tees report 60 through.
Mr.. Wilson's amendment was then
called up and Mr.. MCGOWAN insisted
on his substitute. There was a bad
parliamentary tangle, and amid the
greatest confusion President Evans
did his best to unravel it, while the
members wranpled and Wrangled.
Finally the vote was taken directly
on a motion to table Mr.. Wilson's
amendment to make it 81 day. The
amendment was tabled by the follow
ing vote:
Yeas-Barry, Barton, Behre. Bobo
Bowen, Brice, J. S.; Brice, I. W..
