he forgot to mention that his party
being in the majority, could do as they
please.
Senators Paris and White occupied
the floor at the same time and ques-
lions and answers flew rapidly back
and forth for few minutes. Paris
asked the leader of the Independents
If he intended the translation Of
80 ha IN 20,
minutes. Upon being answered in the
affirmative Mr.. Paris stated that the
members might just as well keep their
seats under such circumstances. If the
time included the translation there
would not be time to say anything.
Brown made an appeal to the SEN
ators, saying: Give us twenty min
utes give US thirty minutes. give US
anything. but do not shut off debate!"
Baldwin tried the force of his elo-
quence upon the imperturbable Sena-

during his speech Carter left his chair
and endeavored to dissuade White
from his course. 1t was of no use,
however, for the boss of the Independ
ents shook his head and WAS evidently
not to be moved in his resolve.
Mr.. White thanked Mr.. Baldwin for
his remarks and made the statement
that ut was true he had been afflicted
with long windedness at one time but
that he had received a dose Of medi-
cine and now wished to limit his re-
marks to a short space"
Mr.. Carter said he was one who
wanted dose OF the same medicine.
Why not then adopt his resolution by
