bers as being the proper procedure

first get their business caught up rath-
er than to leave their work and take
up the business of the senate. The
motion, however, carried in so far as
related to the committee of the whole,
by vote of SO to IS.
The matter then reverted to re-
turning to the thirteenth order of
business which is the consideration of
senate bills, which after lot of by

election law that suited him but would
not vote for law that would not suit
him. ,gs s.<,a ..s.S r..5s
