Sneakers Adverse Ruling.

''''A'r'
The victory was won in spite OF
ruling from the speaker which seemed
mnnitestly unfair When opportunity
was given by Chairman Cannon for
members to ask for votes on separate
amendments, Mr.. Boutell, OF Chicago,
secured the attention of the speaker
and made the first motion, which was
TO ccpcur i'm the Louisiana Purchase
Worlds fair amendment Others fol-
lowed until there were notices OF IKE
motions made for thirty or more
amendments
The friends of the purchase an end
ment thought naturally the speaker
would put the motions in the order
thev were made. But that was not
done. The speaker ruled that the
amendments must be voted ON in their
numerical order. The effect of this
was to put The purchase amendment
last.
The house was wcnried by a SESSION
prolonged two hours beyond the Usual
hour Of adjournment.
The Louisiana purchase amendment
was finally reached, but under circ'm-
stances dscouraging. Every other
amandmeut had failed, or the motion
TO concur had been withdrawn. TO
fully realize the inherent strength OF
the purchase proposition II is neces'
sqry to bear in mind the adverse
conditions when the vote was
taken. II Speaker eHndcrson had
permitted the motion of Mr. Bou'ell
TO be put at the beginning Of the yot-
np ON amendments, the majorlty
would probably have been greater

tired 10 his room and Mr. Dallcll, ol
Pennsylvania. and later Mr.. Gibson
of Tennessee, presided during his alb
spnce from the chamber.
Analysis Of the vote shows -four
state delegations which voted almost
solidIy for the Louisiana purchase
amendment. They were Illinois, Iowa
Missouri aud Virginia. Eight of the
Iowa members went against the
speakers wishes aud supported tn,
amendment. Nearly the entire llll
nois delegation, except Mr. Cannon
voted for the amendment Som'
