When the resolution was reached,
Mr.. SeatOn moved that it be referred
to the committee of the whole house
for cOnSidera tiOn--
Brown of Pratt offered an amend
ment that the resolution be referred
to the committee on temperance and
spoke briefly in favor of it.
Mr.. SeatOn was recognized and said:
Mr.. Speaker, 1 submit that this is
question which no one should be
afraid to meet, and 1 sincerely hope
amendment and pass my motion. The
subject should be considered in COM
nittee of the whole
Mr.. Seaton then demanded a roll call
on Mr.. Browns amendment, which was
passed by a vote of So to %. The resO-
luton will go to the temperance COM
mittee and will probably be buried.
