on the usual formal motion to engross
and read the bill. Accordingly Mcguire,
| Democrat, of California, demanded the
yeas and nays, and half the house
seemed to respond to his demand.
AS the roll call began every one real
| lied the critical moment had come The
| buzz of excited conversation subsided
and hush fell on the house. Powers
| and his clerk kept tallies Cummings,
Democrat of New York: Mcguire, Dem
| ocrat of California, and several other
| members also checked the vote. When
1t was quietly whispered about at the
end of the first roll call on the motion to
| engross that the vote was 81 to 147, the
| adversaries of the measure were over
joyed. Mcguire started a round of ap-
plause and abandoned his tally The
| completeness of the defeat of the bilps
| advocates became more apparent as the
second roll call proceeded. When the
clerks had figured up the totals the
speaker submitted the result-yeas 102.
| nays 16S. There was great ousburst Of
applause.
