| in closing, he urged upon the Senate
not to rccommt the bill when5rccommlt-
tai would mean It's defeat and failure,
even though that was not tile purpose.
as he conceded, Of those advocating re-
commitment.
Declined to Submit.
rhon 1t was that the President, Mr.,
| Willard. gracefully and in fitting terms,
declared that hi, would exercise his pre-
I Iogat!te and decline to submit to the
body tho resignation of the senator from
| Hanover.
,rhere,pon Mr.. Wckham, in a tone of
great decision and In II manner indicating
| determination upon another and more
radical course, withdrew the motion to
reconsider the bill. Mr.. Ople followed.
| renewing the motion to recomnit and
directing attention to the fact that the
senator from Hanover was even then
writing his resignation MS "a member Of
/, the Senate. E1e urged the Senate not
/ Ia 70 fsr to rrrOmmit. but To retnin the
! services of the Hanover, senator, whom
Ito warmly eulogized.
Then came Mr.. Barksdale's timely mo-
ton to adjourn, and the informal but
very happy, solution of the unfortunate
+, Incident
The most important thing considered
| by the S,snate up to the closing half hour
was the special order, the bill creating
u bureau Of insurance and banking.
Immediately OH taking up the bill, Mr..
NIcIlwa,ne, OF Petersburg, offered an
amendment, declaring 1t the sense of the
] Senate that the commissioner proposed
| to DO created by the measure should be
chosen by tho Corporation Commission,
Of which the bureau should bs an adj
junct. Mr.. NrcIlwane made Il powerful
argument as to the construction of the
| Constitution on this point.
Mr. Shnckelford, of orange; Mr.. Chap
| man, of Greene, and Mr.. Opie, Of Au-.
gllsta, all dssented from tho view OF
Mr.. Mc1lwaine and took tho floor to ex-
press that dissent, arguing their view
Of the matter briefly and clearly.
Mr. Whitehead. Of Pittsylvania. also
| thought that the power of the Legisla-
ture to select tho commissioner was am
pie, and contended that the action of
| tho House in 50 providing was valid.
Mr.. Sears, OF Mathews, made a some
what elaborate argument on the con-
sttutionnl lu,lcstion involved, tcontending
! with much force that 1t was within the
l province of the General Assembly to
| elect this official proposed to be created
by the bill. The General Assembly was
closer to the people than was tho Cor
b poration Commission, and this lie
thought should incline the Senate 10
stand for the selection Of the commits
sioner by the General Assembly.

took the floor In opposition to the meas
ure There was no necessity for the bll
