on vote last Friday, some of those who
we're now opposing this measure had al
most fallen over each other In voting for
it, and that some in their anxiety had
voted "aye" twice. Mr.. Hinkle thought
that as models of consistency the gen.
tlemen of the minority we're very radiant
successes. From the catalogue of those
referred to, he excepted, however, Messrs.
Martin and Clancy, whose positions in
the matter had been clear from the start.
Mr.. Martin, rising to question of
personal privilege, proceeded to discuss
the question, when he was ruled out of or
der by Speaker Dame on the ground that
he was not combining his remarks to the
question of privilege. II thought that
ground was about the only one upon
which I could secure the floor, Mr..
Speaker" said Mr.. Martin, amid laugh
| ter.
Speaker Dame assured Mr.. Martin that
during his administration there wsuld
never DO any difficulty for any memberto
secure and keep the floor provided he
was in order, and provided further that
he did not violate the privileges under
which the floor was obtained.
Mr.. Pine then moved the adoption of
the resolution, and ON a call of the roll
the vote in the affirmative was:
Ayes-Garcia, Gallegos, Gutierrez, Hin
kle, Lacome, Leaden, Lopez, Lucero,
Martin, M. Martinez, 8. Martinez, Padilla,
Pine, Sanchez, Thompson and Mr.. Speak

Noes Armijo, r. A. Baoa, valeatin O.

The resolution was accordingly de-
clared carried. eE

printing of the governors message.
