PROTEST STILL UNREC0RDED.
Populists Succeed in Keeping 1t Out
of the Journal of the
HOuSe.

TOPEKA, Jan. ~2.-(Special.) The Pops
succeeded in keeping the Republican pro-
test out of the records of the house to-
day. but not until they had plainly violat-
ed tina provision of the constitution which
gives a member the right to protest
against the action of the house on any
measure.
After prayer by the chaplain this morn
ing. Larimer, of Shawnee, pressed through
n motion to recall the protest from the
judiciary committee. The protest was
brought back. Then Brown, of Pratt, made
4 speech in which he quoted from ex-At-
torney General Dawes opinion thai the
governor was the sole judge of an emer-
gency in issuing 4 call for a special ses-
sion. and that the legislature had no right
to protest against the governors actions.
He made a motion to lay the protest on
the table. It carried by a party vote.
Then Larimer. exercising his constitute
tional right. filed a protest against the
action of the legislature in laying the pro-
test on the table. The Pops always nave
commended that a member had the right to
protest against the action of that body,
but not the acts Of the governor. Larimer's
