MIR. HUDSPETH MAKES
SOMEWHAT POINTED SPEECH

Upon the passage of the bill sew
eral speeches were made. Mr.. Hud-

speaker and his few remarks were di-
rected straight to the objective point

spires II. "The officials of the terri
Nory are honorable men," and here the
speaker turned to Mr.. Holt, "the
members of this house are not the
kind Of men who could be reached by

islate themselves into office. or who
could be bought by an office. This

comes men Of honor to entertain for
a minute the imoutation that any OF

Mr.. Hudspeth's suggestion that any
member Of the house would seek to
leglslate himself into office caused a
thrill of virtuous horror to pass over
the faces of one or two of the mem-
bers.
