The Montgomery advertiser., 1901-06-06

MT. Oates-Then we don't need . resolution of concurrence to get rid of 1t.
 The President-The motion of the gentleman from Cleburne was to con- cur in the report.
 A vote being taken, this section of the report of the committee was con- cured in.
 Mir. Robinson-I offer an amendment.
 The President-The question Is what will the convention do with the reSo- tuition of the gentleman from Lime stone?
 MT. Pettus-I desire to offer an amendment to the resolution.
 The amendment was read as follows:
 Amend by adding Provided, how ever. that the daily stenographic re- port shall set out all ordinances and resolutions introduced in full.
 The President-The gentleman from Limestone moves that the original res- olution be amended as you have heard.
 MT. Robinson-That was the amend ment I offered.
 The President-The gentleman from Limestone offered the same amend ment.
 MT. Oates--I rise to a parliamentary inquiry Is the resolution in the report which has just been concurred in be- fore the convention at all? The com mittee referred 1t back without recom- mendation. How did it get before the convention?
 The President-The chair understands the committee reported the resolution back to the convention
 Mir. Oates-But without recommenda- tion and how did it get before the Con- vention for consideration?
 The Presidential was a part Of tha report of the Committee on Rules.
 MT. Oates-Not for consideration however. That part of the report of the Committee has been concurred in by the Convention but
 The President-The Secretary will read that part of the report.
 The Secretary read as follows: "Ths Committee reports back to the Conven- tion Resolution No. S3, introduced by MT. Pettus of Limestone, without re. commendation on its part for the ac- tion of the Convention"
 MT. Oates-And the action of tho Convention has been had by concurr- ing in that part of the report and the resolution failed and is not by the re- port of the Committee before the Con. vention for consideration at this time.
 MT. Pettus-I rise to point of order.
 The President--The delegate from Limestone will please state his point.
 MT. Pettus-I submit to the dis- tinguished gentleman from Montgom- cry that the report of the Committee on Rules is that this resolution be re- ferred back without recommendation flor the action of the Convention" Mr. Oates-It don't use that language. MT. Pettus-I understand that is the language.
 The President-That is the language of the Committee, flor the action of the Convention"
 MT. Pettus-I then moved to refer that back to the Committee to report 1t to the Convention whenever a ne- cessity for 1t arose. The Convention cept the report of the Committee on Rules, which brings the resolution uu for the immediate action of the Cons | vention. I submit to the Chair if do not correctly state the situation.
 The President-That is the ruling of the Chair.
 MT. Blackwell-I rise to make a par liamentary inquiry, and it is as to tha attitude of this resolution. It is now here before the Convention without be- ing the report of any Committee, as I understand it
 The Presidential was reported by the Committee without recommendation. MT. Blackwell-Then the point of order I would make is that unless the rules are suspended no resolution can ] be voted upon.
 The President-The Chair is of the | opinion that the point of order is not well taken. The Committee on Rules reports this resolution back expressly for action by the Convention inasmuch | as the Committee on Rules did not see | it to take the responsibility of mak- | ing any recommendation. It is re- ferred back For action by the Conven- tion." That is the purpose for which 1t Is brought here and the question is on the adoption of the motion to amend made by the gentleman from Limestone. Mr. Harrison-That amendment was | offered by the gentleman from Cham bers. -.-...-. |
 The President-The gentleman from Limestone caught the eye of the Chair and proposed the identical amendment which the gentleman from Cahmbers intended to propose. The Chair recog- which the gentleman from Chambers to offer his resolution and the Chair understood him to say it was covered by the amendment offered by the del- egate from Limestone. MT. Malone-I regard that as the | most dangerous resolution that has been offered in this Convention, and I move that it be laid on the table. | Upon call, the OTlktndl TeSOluIlOu or MT. Pettus and the amendment was again read.
 MT. Chapman-I rise to a point of parliamentary inquiry.
 The President-The gentleman will please state the point. MT. Chapman-As understand it the question before the House is report | from the Committee on Rules. I ask now if the action of the Convention is not complete on that report of the | Committee?
 The President-The Chair does not sos understand it. The resolution was re- ported to the Convention by the Com mittee for action.
 MT. Chapman-Yes. As understan E ] it, MT. President, the Convention ha not completed it's action upon the re t port of the Committee on Rules. 10 is true the Committee reports thi {, mater back to the Convention for ac ton, but it does not say that the a. sI tion of the Convention shall be inject | into the report of the Committee [ | Rules as part of that report. seems to me that the action on thu. matter should be postponed until the Convention has completed its action on the report of the Committee on Rules. We are here taking up matter and injecting it as part of the action of the Committee on Rules, as final. dur | Ing the pendency of action on the re- | port of the Committee on Rules, and think, if the Convention pleases, that we must first finish the action upon
