has stated. Mr.. Payne, a gentleman
from Fargo, say 8, and I can prove it by a
dozen men, that there was $4,000 offered
for the passage of senate bill 81, an in
surance bill. a piece of vicious legisla-
ton, and that is all I ever said.'
I understand from the report Of the
committee that he did not have any one
of these dozen men there to prove this.
As far as I i know, Mr.. Payne is an honor
able gentleman. AS far as l am on
cerned l do not consider the language
Mr.. Gaulke has used towards Mr.. Payne
is any apology to this house. 1t is sim
ply adding insult to injury.
Mr.. Gaulke: Mr.. Tollifson, the gen
tleman who rode down in the carriage
with us-when Mr.. Payne rode down
with us at the time of the conversation
is not here. He couldn't be got here in
side of two days.
Mr.. Young moved the adoption of the
report of the special investigating COM
mittee.
The speaker stated that the privileges
of the floor were granted to MIR. Gaulke
simply under the conditions imposed by
the report-and he could be heard sim
ply to make IN apology or retraction.
Mr.. Gaulke: I am perfectly willing to
apologize to Mr.. Leech and Senator
Lewis for any statement l may have
made or said about them. That is all l
have to say.
Mr.. Young: l did not notice anything
in the statement of Mr.. Gaulke or in the
written retraction, stating that his state
ments were not true.
MI. Thomas: 1 think the kind of apo
logy given by Mr. Gaulke is a failure.
There was nothing before the commit
any manner at all. The manner in which
the two gentlemen testified was so
marked as to impress the committee with
full confidence in Mr.. Payne and to
establish the fact in their minds that
MI. Gaulke had been talking through
his hat, and wandering from the truth.
l am not myself willing to accept any
such an apology as he has given here to
this House for the insult he has put upon
the members of this House in this mat
ter.
The speaker announced that as the
apology offered by Mr.. Gaulke had not
been accepted by the House, Mr.. Gaulke
would be dismissed by the adoption of
this report, and he was declared so dis
missed.
