here, Thompson, clerk" The Chair
thinks that means on the part of the
House that they do not ask for any
Committee of Conference. If the pur-
pose of the Senator from Penobscot is
to ask for another such committee. the
Chair thinks that the motion should
be ito insist" instead of to adhere on
the part of the Senate. The Chair put
the words into the Senator's mouth.
and it is the Chairs mistake.
Mr.. GARDNER. That was my pur-
pose. Mr.. President.
The PRESIDENT. The Chair begs
the Senator pardon for putting the
words into the Senator's mouth.
On motion by Mr.. Gardner Of Penob-
scot the vote of the Senate to adhere
was reconsidered, and on further mo-
ton by the same Senator the SENATE
voted to insist, md to ask for furtn-
er Committee of Confer ence.
The Chair appointed as a further
Committee Of Conference on the part
Of the Senate Messrs. Putnam, Clark
and Sturgis.
The PRESIDENT. The Chair has his
attention called to the fact that Sena-
tor Gardner was not on the Committee
before, and by all rules of parliament
tary procedure he should be upon this
committee.
Mr.. GARDNER. Mr.. President,
have no desire whatever for the posi-
ton. besides I have to leave shortly
upon the train.
The PRESIDENT. The Chair under
stands that the Senator has no desire
for the position. but it was an inadver-
tence on the part Of the Chair in not
appointing the Senator. Will the Sena-
tor serve on that Committee?
Mr.. GARDNER. will if there is a
chance of my getting an early train.
The PRESIDENT. I think. as the
matter stands, the Chair would better
allow the Committee to remain as it is
