The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-06-28

| from I,duuoipn WILnurdM has nIutIon for the introduction of this resolu- | tion. | The withdrawal was made and the | resolution was read as follows: | Resolution No. 1s6, by Mir. Watts: Be 1t resolved, That the privileges of the floor of this Convention are hereby extended to Alabama's distinguished son. Hon. Hillary A. Herbert, Ex-Sec- | retary of the Navy. | Be it further resolved, That on Fri | day the 18th inst, this Convention re- cess from 12:30 to 3 p. m. instead of from 1 to 3 D. m., and that the Convention remain in session until p. m., in order that the Alabama Bar Association may have the use of this hall for the pur- | pose of hearing the address of the Hon. Hillary A. Herbert to said Association. A vote was taken on the motion to suspend but the result was not an- nounced by the President l MT. Reese-I demand a division of the questions involved.
 MT. Heflin (Randolph)-Too late the vote has been taken.
 | The President-The Chair has not yet announced the vote on the motion to | suspend. The motion to suspend is carried. The question now is on the adoption of the resolution. 1 Mir. Reese-I now move a division of the question.
 MT. Watts-It is too late.
 The Presidential the opinion of the Chair, it is not too late. The ground upon which the Chair refused to enter tain the motion for a division the gen.
 tleman made awhile ago was that the gentleman could not make his motion l while the House was passing on the
 motion to suspend the rules. In the
 opinion of the Chair it is now in order
 for the gentleman to demand a divis-
 ion of the question.
 Il MT. Duke-I rise to a point of order. The gentleman from Dallas is making
 the demand for a division out of his
 seat
 !. The President-The point of order is
 well taken.
 Mir. Sanford (Pike)-Well. I will
 make the demand from my seat.
 The question will be divided. Under
 the rules any member of the Conven-
 ton has a right to demand a division
 of a question where the sense of it will
 admit of the division. The Secretary
 will read the first proposition.
 The first part of the resolution ex-
 tending the privileges of the floor to MT. Herbert was read and unanimously
 passed.
 The remaining part of the resolution
 was then read.
 Mir. Watts-The object of that reso-
 lution Is to permit the members of the
 Alabama Bar Association who are
 members of this house to hear the ad-
 dress of Hon. Hilary A. Herbert. The
 request is only for the adjournment of
 the Convention for half an hour earlier
 than it would ordinarily recess and it
 is for the purpose also of obtaining this
 hall so that the crowd that is expected
 to be here to hear the address can be
 accommodated.
 Mir. Oates-If it is in order. I move
 to amend the motion of the delegate
 from Montgomery by striking out F 30
 and inserting 12. I belong to the Ala
 bama Bar Association and have never
 attended a meeting of that body where
 the invited guest made the first ad-
 dress. Usually the President makes his
 address first and then the invited
 guest. Members will not have time to
 hear both addresses and go home and
 get dinner between 12:30 and o'clock. MT. Sanford (Pike)-I do not like to appear to be interposing objections to
 listening to an address by a distin-
 guished citizen of Alabama or of the nation but I submit to this Conven- tion that 1t does seem to me that we
 have taken up as much or perhaps more time than the people generally ! think we ought to take in the work 7 that Is set before us and that we should not adjourn and give way from time to time on every such occasion as this. I submit that it is not our time but the peoples time that we are vast ing. I simply desired to make this eX- planation of the vote that I shall cast
 on this occasion. ; Mir Duke-I move to further amend
 the resolution by providing that the l Convention remain in session until I &aIx the time of the members of the Con-
 vention, and not of the people, and
 give 1t to the Bar Association. Mir. Pettus-I move the previous ques'
 tion on the resolution pending and or
 the amendment.
 MT. Solie-I am not unfriendly tC the resolution but the original resolu- tion as introduced did not change the time for the evening session. and don't I this require a suspension of the rules , The President-The rules of the Con vention cover both morning and after noon sessions and when the rules ar'
 suspended on resolution it is in or
 der to dispose of the resolution in what ever manner the Convention sees fit :, The point of order Is overruled. z A vote being taken the previous question was ordered
 MT. Oates-I will accept the amend. ment of the gentleman from Cham 5 bers.
 The President-That can only be don,
 by unanimous consent.
 A vote being taken the amendment
 of the delegate from Chambers (Mr . Duke) was adopted. .. . A further vote being taken the 5 amendment of the delegate from Mont g gomery CMr. Oates) was adopted. l A further vote being taken the res. l olution as amended was adopted. |, MT. LomaX-I ask leave to introduce l a short resolution for reference to { ] Committee. l Resolution 197. by MT. Lomax: Resolved, that the sum of seven ant |, 50-10O dollars be and the same is here 9 by appropriated to pay for stenograph /; | ic work for the Committee on Pream ble and Declaration of Rights. ; Referred to Committee on Schedule ; | Printing and Incidental Expenses. . Mir. Ferguson-I ask unanimous con ; sent to introduce a short resolution. i The resolution was read as follows !; Resolution No. 19S, by MT.
