several times Senators Ralnes and Malby
tried ~ force an adjournment, but they
were defeated by n vote OF ? TO ] as the
frieada Of the mortgage tax 6ll realize
tht II the Senate does not remain IN CON
tihuoua session, even IL II has to stay. In
.hssion all night. the opponents Of the bill
can prevent ita consideration by .dilatory
Z tactics. Even IL the Senate should remain
in continuous session from now until the
final adjournment at noon on Thnrsday
il IL not certain that Senators RaineS and
Malby could prevent a vote on the mort
gage tax bill.
One thing il certain, and that Is II Senator
Page permits the Senate to adjourn TO-
night the mortgage tax bill IL dead lie
tired To nave SenHtOTb Nhllts anu Hhoiut
agree to take up the mortgage tax bill
at q specified hour Tomorrow, but they
arrogantIy refused to treat with him.
At, one time tonight 1t looked as though
Senator Page would not be able TO hold
his forces together, but up TO midnighS
enough Democrats had not broken away
10 enable Senators Raines and Malby TO
adjourn the Senate Motion after motion
, to adjourn was defeated. Raines and
| Malby tried to browbeat Page into an adj
journment, but Page only grinned at them
senator Page refused to lose his temper
or to reoede from his position, This caused
senator Raines to remark that II ooked
az though the question had come down
| 10 the point of physical endurance, and that
his side was ready to accept the challenge
Of the friends Of the mortgage tax bill.
Then Senator Malby insisted upon his
right under the rules to delay proceedings
by compelling the Clerk to read bills through.
This was the situation when a fifteen minute
recess was taken at 1870 O'Clock tonight.
When the Senate reconvened at 1850 o'clock
the disposition OF the third reading calen-
dar was resumed and at noe Senator Malby
insisted upon all bills being read through
In order TO continue his policy, Of delay
and Lieut.-Gov. Bruce held with Senator
Malby.
