that the resolution be laid on the table,
and this finding seconder, Mr.. Price de-
manded roll call.
Mr. Held, on behalf Of the Brady side
then made an explanation OF his position
in the matter. He was directly opposed to
the governor OIL the capital question, and
also on the matter of delegate, and did
not uphold the governors course in either
of these. But he and Mr.. Brady had been
} personal friends for MANY years, and al
though the recent action OF the governor
had not given satisfaction Mr.. Brady was
still gentleman and therefore sweeping
denunciation of him as man was unjust.
TO his recent official acts he was as much
in opposition as anyone present
Mr. Price pointed out that the resolution
did not refer to Mr.. Brady personally but
onv as governor OF Alaska, and if Mr..
Held was in earnest he would vote for the
resolution.
