The 12Sd joint ballot for United
-, +Talr
yesterday by the joint assembly of
the legislature. Considering that four
of Hon. A W. McCune's supporters,
Representative Clyde, Fullmer, Nc
Quarrie and Senator Peery, were absent
at roll call, the leading candidate for
senator, against whom charges of
bribery are pending, in reality received
more than his usual number of votes.
The accession was from Representa-
tive Lester Taylor, one of Utah's
most solid citizens, who has been Civ
ing Frank J. Cannon his support since
the seventy third ballot. Not only did
ar. McCune receive the support of
Mr. Taylor, whose vote was announced
without a speech of any sort, but
Representative Robertson. who re
Trained from voting on Saturday,
Joined the other score and two in Civ
ing a vote of confidence to the accused
candidate, deeming him innocent of the
charges until proven guilty. The only
ones of NcCune'S supporters to oc-
cupy u neutral position were Senator
Bennion, voting for Nebeher, and
Representative FOrman voting for
Rideout.
Allowing for the absence of three
Republicans, Senator Alder and Rep
resentatives Miller and Richards, there
were no other changes from Saturdays
ballot, except that Senator Aqulla
Nebeker voted for Judge o. W. Powers
instead of for Hon. r. c. Chambers.
TANNER SCORES THE HISSERS.
Just before the balloting proceeded
Senator Tanner took the floor TO say:
y rise to the question of personal
privilege this morning. and 1 shall talk
but few minutes. There is uues-
ton that has been botheriAg my mind
some little time, and l think it should
be called 10 the attention ot the presl-
dent and members of this joint as
sembly. During the sessions that have
been held there have been occasions
which have brought forth applause,
and occasions that have brought forth
the disapproval of others. l am one
who is perfectly willing to concede TO
people the right to applaud, or even
at times to express their disapproVai
of the actions of members of this as
Sembly.
But there have been some actions
on the part of some that demand and
should receive the condemnation of this
assembly. on one occasion, l am
credibly informed, when member Of
this assembly had his wife sitting by
his side and rose and cast his vote, he
was grossly insulted, and his wife was
also grossly insulted. And yet this
passed on. Nothing happened.
But the other day, during our ses-
SIGNAL gathering, when the minds OF
those present were worked up 10 a
very high pitch, although there were
expressions of approval and dlsap-
proval, there was one act that think
should not pass by unnoticed. / am
willing TO grant a great many prlvl-
leges under some conditions, and 1
thing there are occasions when Amer
leans can give their approval or ms
approval, but l do not believe that the
occasion ever comes when a. person has
the right to insult a woman. That was
done on the floor of this house on
Saturday.
I have endeavored to find out who
the individuals We're who We're guilty
of this, but have not succeeded. II L
had succeeded I should have intro
duced a resolution asking that they
be brought before the bar Of this house
and made 10 apologize. / simply de-
sire 10 say that any one who ould in
suit & member OF this JOINT Assembly
when discharging the duties OF the
assembly, is a coward and q cur. No
member Of this body should be IN
suited by others persons here. l wish
10 stamp my disapproval upon that act
in the most severe manner, and If
am successful in establishing the
identity of the Individuals who were
guilty of this act, I shall certainly in
froduce q resolution asking that they
DE punished"
MRS. CANNON'S PROTEST.
BY way of experimenting Senator
Tanners remarks, Senator Martha
II. Cannon said:
Il had no intention of making any
remarks, but as Senator Tanner has
referred to the occasion Of Saturday,
shall also Just refer TO it a moment.
received a letter this morning from
dear friend of mine (meaning Sam
King, who had been accused Of the
kissing that has been referred to, and
he feels very badly on account OF be-
ing accused of that dishonorable act.
want 10 here state that I myself have
employed 4 police detective to stand
at the door and in case anything OF the
kind occurred again, to find out who
the individuals were, so that my friend
might not be accused again. in
tended to ask the sergeant alarms to
bodily eject whoever il might be that
