The only ballot taken for senator
yesterday by the joint assembly of the
legislature showed that the deadlock
of the last four days retains its hold.

TUESDAYS STORM RENEWED.
Just as the joint assembly was ready
for business Senator Chambers arose
and in a dignified manner said:
Il desire TO make a motion. 1t has
been known to the members of this
body that the presiding officer has
acted justly and impartially. It has
been said that the resolution introduced
Tuesday by the fair representative from
Salt Lake (Mrs. Horne) was for the
purpose of casting a reflection upon the
presiding officer of this body. This talk
has come chiefly from members out
side OF this assembly and is not true.
DOL III justice ~ tAlt DltSiQtlll VI the
senate, L move that the resolution and
all matter connected with il, be ex-
plunged from the record
While Representative Jackson sec
onded the motion, Representative Shop
ard said he had nothing to retract IN
his speech on the day before, because
he had not cast a reflection on Presi-
dent Nebeker nor on any one, and he
would oppose striking out all reference
to Tuesdays exciting incident from the
journal.
Senator Smoot announced his opposi-
ton to Senator Chambers motion. It
was his belief that Mrs. HoTne's reso-
luton, directing that President Nebe-
ker should alternate with Speaker Roy
lance in presiding over the joint as
sembly during the days of voting for q
senator, was conceived and introduced
in good faith and not for the purposes
of imputing unfairness on the part of
the senate'S president. AS Senator
Smo0t viewed it, the matter was a part
OF the proceedings, and in justice TO
Mrs Horne and all concerned the OBJ
jectionable resolution and the reference
TO il should remain in the record. The
whole subject was the result of a mis-
understanding. and While he regretted
the matter had been brought to notice
again he hoped il would be dropped
without further discussion or action.
HANSEN'S CHARGE.
Representative Hansen remarked that
he vas sorry Mrs. Horne had offered
the resolution but he was more than
surprised at Senator Chambers mo-
tion to expunge the Objectionable mat
ter from the journal, since. as he
charged, the gentleman urged the in
PRODUCTION Of the resolution.
Replying to Mr.. Hansen, Senator /
Cham hers said. Thai is NOT correct I
/ knew OF, the intention to offer the res
olution, bdt did not give it my strong |
est sanction. ] was then under some I
misapprehensiOn, just as the lady mem /
Der was, but after an explanation and /
the discussion on this floor, the matter /
was settled II is, / think, entirely 1
proper that the members of the as !
sembly have the opportunity to set |
themselves Alright on this matter
Senator Evans suggested that he |
would favor eXDunging if Representa-
tive Horne desired it.
y feel entirely able" replied Mrs
Horne. Ito bear the responsibility OF 1
this resolution, and at the same time |
feel satisfied that my friends here are
all true to me. There is nothing in the
record which can possibly injure the
president of the senate, or the members
OF the house. much less myself Mr.
Chambers asked, before the session. if
l had any objections to his making the
motion to eXpunSe. l said / had not,
but / should vote against expunging it.
l cannot understand how harm can
ccme to anyone by leaving the record |
as il is at present.
