when the vote was taken, favored the
motion. He thought mistake by the
Secretary OF the Senate should not kill

LSenatOr Ford in the chair
Senator Simpson, tue author OF the bill.
made strong plea for the motion.
Senator Ford also spoke in favor of his
motion, stating that a motion to recon-
slider the vote whereby a bill had been
refused passage, that had actually passed,
would be entirely futile.

sideration, Ii the motion OF Senator
Ford prevailed, the notice of motion TO
reconsider the vote would still cucumber
the record. He therefore moved as a
substitute that the motion to reconsider
the vote by which the bill was passed be
taken up.
