The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1899-01-11
Afternoon Session.

At $40 O'Clock the Senate reassem-
bled, President Neff in the chair.
A long and wearisome discussion
arose as to the order in which bills
should be introduced by members. those
whose names stood near the foot OF
the alphabet Directing to the usual
method Of calling the roll in alphabet
cal order and allowing each member
as his name was called, to dump from
one to fifty bills upon the Secretary s
table, thus placing W., X, Y. and q. S
bills at the foot Of an extensive file.
AS way out Of the difficulty the
long enders finally resurrected the res
olution offered by Langford at the
mornings session, providing for ro-
tary roll call. each member to intro
duce one bill when his name was called,
and no more until in the revolution of
the wheel he was reached, when he
might again introduce another. The
resolution, after much quibbling. was
declared adopted on doubtful viva
voce vote, and Senator Ashe sent Sen
ate bill No. to the desk. From that
instant the revolving roll call proceed
ed until hundred and twenty-four
