up. Quay took the floor In order U
discuss the Duluth bridge bill. 1t sool
led to some spirited comments between
Villas and Nelson. Nelson declared ina
the bill merely asked an extension o
time to build bridge essential to com
municate between Duluth and Superior
and which gave employment to larg
number of men. He characterized tn
opposition Of Villas as about the mos
paltry and meanest" he could think OF

used. and he considered such oppos'
ton as partaking of a dog-in-the-man
ger policy. Villas came back with Tn
statement that Nelson was incorrect
his facts. After further discussion IN
senate got back to the Indian bill.
