Hoogs-"I rise to a point OF order.
The honorable Representative is talk
ing through his hat. / am willing to
donate toward Representative Beck
iey's trip myself, but 1 don't propose
that the expense shall be paid from
the Treasury appropriations"
Emmeluth-"Even If we are poor we
don't have to go begging"
Speaker Akina upheld Kumulae's
point of order
Il could talk continued Emmeluth,
ION this subject for two hours, and
will talk again when the bill comes up.
1 stand here for the people, and no
one shall muZzle me-"
1t is surmised that Emmeluth is ad-
vancing the necessary funds for Beck
ley's expenses on the trip, and the
honorable Representative has not de-
MED the allegation.
Prendergast-"I opposed the sending
of the committee of ten Senators and
Representatives to welcome the PreSf-
dent, as we had no money for that or
any other purpose. We do not know
who is going to pay for this trip of a
congratulations to the President of
section of the country that extends
! over many thousands of miles"
Makekau asked for the tabling of the
resolution, and doubted the right OF the
House to adopt such a measure before
ernor that the House was reorganiz-
ed.
AS the honorable Representative had
just before given notice of the intro
ductfon of bill, his remarks showed
an inconsistency of which Emmeluth
was prompt to take advantage.
Emmeluth-"I admire the late spea&sr
er for his wonderful argument. When
a man gets up to speak upon ques-
ton, I like that man to have some
thing of an argument to PROFOUND, but
the wind has been entirely taken out
of the Honorable Makekaus reasoning
by his introduction of bill this morn
ing. He did not wait for the Governor
or the Senate to be notified, but SHOW
ed in his notice as soon as he could.
Let him be consistent that is all / ask
of him; let him be consistent. If he
had a right to bring in his bill, then
let him keep quiet on this subject"
Makekau lengthily defended himself,
talking alternately in indistinguishable
English and it's native translation.
Dickey asked for a translation, but
Wise said that the honorable member
had made his own.
Robertson brought in a motion to ad-
journ, which together with a motion
to postpone the resolution until tomor-
row.
THE REPUBLICANS LEAVE
The Republicans, rather than go on
record as opposing the resolution, then
went out, with the exception of two
or three. The Republican party was
not as a whole against the sending or
Beckley to the Coast, feeling that II
would be a matter of education for
the Representative to take a trip to
the States. The only objection made
was that the expense should come out
Of the public purse.
Opposition in the face of the ma
jority would have been futile, and IN
any case, upon fair play principles, the
party felt no desire to prohibit a Home
Rule representative from presenting
the point of view of tho Home Rule
party.
Beckley himself declared his inten-
ton, after adjournment, Of simply
greeting the President and giving him
the glad hand. "I am nobody's chick
en- said the young politician. 81 am
not going to present any resolution.
After welcoming the President am
going east to Buffalo,
The resolution was finally adopted,
as amended, from a concurrent to
House resolution, by a vote of 4-S.
The House then adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning.
