The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-06-25


 an unthougnted heat of last Saturday, afternoons session. when we all want ed to get away. without due consldera- tion and due thought. n Mir. Pccne-I move the previous question. MT. Reese---I ask the gentleman to postpone his motion Tie President-Will the gentleman withdraw Does the gentleman decline to withdraw the motion? MT. Bccne-Yes sir. The Presidcnt-The question is, shltl the main question be put. Upon a vote the main question vas l ordered.
 The President-The motion is to re- consider the vote by which this con- vention adopted Section S0. Mir. Jones (Montgomery)-For the | purpose of getting at that particular amendment as I understand.
 The President-That was the purpose | that the gentlemen stated. MT Henders1nAI would like to have the section as amended read. MT. White-May 1 inquire whether l if We reconsider this, the gentleman Is bound by the reasons he gave; that is. | that it is simply; for the purpose of rcconsiderins one matter? After w- reconsider the section. will it be ope,s for the purpose of reconsidering any thing else? ..l
 MT. Wilson tWashington)-I would like to state for tine beneht of the l gentleman that I am willing to be | bound by it. I do not want to rec ou- sider anything else. | MT. White--I3ut l want to know what the Chair will hold on that. | The President-The Chair will hold | that if the Convention reconsiders the vote whereby. the section was adopted, that it will be open to amendment by the Convent!on.f .-. , , MT. Whita--All of it. | MT. Jones (Montgomery)-I submit while the Chair is eraine ntly correct in that ruling. that we can have an un- | derstandihg when we vote for the re- consideration that it is for that pur- pose. Of course>f gentlemen are going to amend. a great many of us who ia | vor reconsideration would vote no. l Mir. White-I submit that would have to be by general co1sent, because any member could move to reconsider sny l other proposition that had been adopt ed into that section. MT. Samford-I do not know but that having offered an amendment, l might be considered as desiring a reconside- | Convention that I have no intention of going further myself. but do not speak for anybody else in the Conven- | ton.
 MT. Reese-I make the point of order that the previous question has been ordered. and that debate Is out of order | MT. White-This Is not debate, as understand 1t. Mir. President, but sim ply parliamentary inquiry. | N l..a n cated to the gentleman from Jefferson the opinion of the Chair, and quite a number of members who proposed amendments on Saturday have !ndicat- ed they have no desire. to renew those | amendments this morning, but are will ing to confine the consideration of the question to the amendment offered by the gentleman from Hale, MT. deGraff- | enried.
 Mir. White-Well that will not bind other members who want to go into old matters.
 The President-That is true. Mir. Wilson (Washington)-But all the members that have proposed amendments have bound themselves not to raise the questions again. The gentleman from Pike and myself are the only members that I remember who proposed amendments. It seems to me this question should be thor oughly understood that We propose to go into nothing except the amendment | offered by the gentleman from Hale.
 MT. Boone-Now, MT. President, 1 call for the question.
 Mir. Rogers (Sumter)-I rise for the purpose of introducing a resolution, and ask unanimous consent that 1t be read now. so that the Convention may pass upon it. It relates to this very ques- tion.
 Objection was made.
 MT. White-I move now to table the motion to reconsider.
 MT. Samford-I rise to a point of order. As l understand 1t the previous question has been ordered. Do l un- derstand that a motion to table can be made after the previous question has been ordered? 1 The President-Tne Chair thinks that the motion to table has precedence of a motion for the previous question, pro- vided it is made before the previous question is ordered. But, under the the rules, after the previous question IS ordered nothing seems to be Tn order except the previous qustion itself. | call the gentleman's attention to rule twenty-six, under which a motion to adjourn. which has the precedence | of a motion to table. will not b" enter tained: "A motion to adjourn shall al- ways be in order. even in he absence l of a quorum, except when on the call | for the previous question. the main | question shall have been ordered" The main question nere having been order ed. in the opinion of the Chair a motion to table will not be in order. The ques- tion is shall the vote be reconsidered. | Mir. Samford-On that I call for the | ayes and noes
 | The call was sustained.
 MT. Henderson-I would like to hear the section as amended and passed read.
 The section was read.
 Upon a call of the roll the vote re- suited as follows:
 AYES.
