DR.. Dunaway introduced resolution
limiting speeches to thirty minutes.

relating to corporations and finance, and
he did not believe in sitting debate now,
when long speeches had been allowed
on other questions not as important as
those.

lay on the table.
The point of order was sustained and
the resolution went over.
