says:
The Speaker OF the House
The Speaker-It is not in order TO read
that.
Mr.. simpson-Not in order to read the
Record?
The Speaker-Not in order to read the
debate IN the Senate.
Mr. simpson-Does the Speaker role that
it is not In order TO read the Record?
The Speaker-The Chair rules that it is
not in order in one branch of Legislative
body To refer to or comment upon debate
III the other branch, because such refer
ences would necessarily lead to disputes.

The Speaker-That may be. The gen.
tIeman certainly cannot. daughter
Mr.. Simpson of X ansas-Well,1 very much

As Mt. Simpson uttered this threat
the gavel banged once more, and with a
peculiar emphasis the Speaker shouted:
"The gentleman's time has expired"
For which ] presume the Speaker is
very glad" retorted Mr.. Simpson, as &
parting shot before taking his seat.
