resolution providing for sine die adjourn
ment April ~, and Mr.. Patterson proposed
to amend IL by making the date March %.
Mr.. Wolters opposed both the resolution
and the amendment. as did Mr.. Kirk and
Mr. Field OF Grayson. They thought II
would be dangerous for the democratic
marty to adjourn now with 30 much I'M
completed legislation on hand.
Mr. Field was willing to stay here and
work for nothing rather than vote for the

sacrifice to come to the legislature and
the ordeal had been severe enough to meet
his most sanguine expectations.
Mr. Blair opposed the resolution and
wanted to go on record as opposed to com
hitting political suicide.
Mr.. Tucker said he was mighty poor.
but that he had friends who would pay his
board rather than have him support the
resolution. He had not come "a Austin

but to do the best he could for his people
and with a full knowledge Of what be was

Mr., Patterson said the gentleman from
Bexar and the gentleman from Lafayette
and the one from Taylor need not worry
about their political epitaph. as they were
writing them fast enough anyhow. He
said that II was not the 81 day that was
Worrying him. He was willing To donate
his salary TO those gentlemen TO pay their
board II they needed 1t. but he wanted the
