QUAY CASE
Following Mr. Depew, Mr. Turley
CTenn.) resumed his speech began yester-
day on the question relating to the seat
ing Of Mr.. Quay (Penn) He was main
tanning that the trainers of the constitu-
ton intended that the legislature, and
not the governor, should name the sena-
tors except In certain circumstances pre-
scented clearly by the legislation, when
Mr.. Penrose inquired Il 1t was not the
intention of the trainers of the constitu-
ton that the senate at all times should
be full so that in view Of some import
ant matters. as the force bill. an i'm
parchment trial or some similar case
which might hinge upon one vote. the
states might have equal representation.
Mr.. Turley replied that that was the
intention of the trainers of the constitu-
ton, but 1t would not necessarily follow
that the senate at all times could be kept
full.
Mr. Spooner inquired what could be
done should an Instruction break out
in a state, dispensing the legislature and
thus preventing 1t from electing sena-
tor.
"WeN," responded Mr.. Turley, sit Is
my idea that II the Instruction reached
such magnitude as to dispense the legis-
lature 1t would pretty likely have the
governor running. too.
To this Mr. Spooner replied that the
governor could not very well be dis
persed." SIS
Mr.. TurYey discussed presidents, and
maintained that from 1926 to the present
time not one case could be found in sup
port of the contention of Mr.. Quay's sup
porters. ~
The convict labor question was pre-
cipitated again by Mr.. Pettigrew, who
proposed an amendment providing that
all contracts for labor entered into since
Aug. IL, $685. should be declared null and
void. In speech supporting the amend
ment Mr.. Pettigrew asserted that since
the annexation Of Hawaii $4,000 contract
laborers had been imported into Hawaii,
their contracts extending over periods
extending from three to ten years. In
response to questions az to whether Ash
attic contract laborers displace local la
borers, Mr.. Pettigrew replied that to some
extent they did. He went on to say that
the coffee lands Of which he had heard
so much practically had been changed
into sugar plantations, the lands as such
being immensely productive. The sugar
plantations, said he, were controlled by
vast sugar interests, who, during the past
year, had been paid by the government
in RENTED duties s12.0oo.0 900. These great
interests would control the legislature of
Hawaii, and consequently he wanted such
an amendment to the bill as would meet
every contingency.
The amendment was adopted without
discussion.
1t was agreed that the final vote on the
bill and amendments would be taken De-
fore adjournment tomorrow.
