MAJORITY WERE TOO
HEAVY FOR Mr.. K.

Steadily persistently, regularly the great
majority of the senate voted him down.
Tewey and Ralston and Sherlock and
Conroy offered amendments, apparently all
prepared on the same typewriter, to the
same effect, each one being seized by Ken
nedy as pretext for speechmakng. In
this manner an amendment which, except
for the change of one unimportant word,
was the exact duplicate of an amcndment
already embraced in the bill, was offered
three times, and each time Kennedy spoke
TO it.
AS in his other speeches his argument
was founded entirely on false premises.
For instance, one OF the repeating
amendments was that which prohibits
litigant applying more than once for
change of venue. This amendment was
incorporated in the bill Wednesday, and its
adoption was seconded by Kennedy him
self; nevertheless, in his talks to the gal
Iery he tried to make it appear that his
new amendment, covering precisely the
same ground, was necessary in order to
prevent litigant delaying action by re-
peatedly demanding a new judge. OF
course the contention was absurd, but all
of the gallery, not having copies of the bill,
did not know this, and Kennedy was talk

At the evening session and proceeding
under the new rule, the senate, after some

were TO raise points of order, absurd in
their purports, move adjournment, appeal
from the ruling of the chair and offer
lengthy amendments to the BILL on every

use of such moneys shall be fixed by
the secretary of the treasury, but shall
be mot less than ~ per cent" and all
public moneys in any depository shall
be payable on demand upon the draft

Important and far-reaching as are the
provisions of the bill, Senator Aldrich
expresses the belief shat the measure
will become law before March 4. so
necessary and important are its pro-
visions" said Senator Aldrich. that I
believe the bill will pass without mate
