BURNETT DENoUNcEs WRIGHT

Burnett Of San Luis Obispo intro
duced a resolution expelling the dis
graced Speaker from the Assembly. In
support of it he spoke as follows:
Mr.. Speaker, l desire to say few
words on this resolution, and in rising
to speak upon this resolution l wish to
say that / am not animated by any feel
ings of bitterness toward the ex-Speaker
of this House; but j believe that the find
ings of the report of the special commit
tee Justify this action. / believe that the
only logical action upon the report that
has been adopted by this House is the
expulsion of Howard E. Wright.
Mr.. Speaker, the charges brought
against Mr. Wright were not charges in
volving his standing as Speaker They
were not charges that involved his stand
ing as the presiding officer of this House.
They were charges involving his standing
as a man. They involved his manhood.
They were questions involving his honor
and ! submit to the Speaker and gentle
men of the Assembly that those questions
are questions that appertain to a mans
standing as a member. The main question
to be considered in this connection is
not the punishment of Mr.. Wright or any
other man. Just as in the prosecution of
criminals in our courts, the main ques-
ton is not the punishment of the criminal
but the protection of life and property,
so. Mr.. Speaker, in this connection the
main question is not the punishment of
