delay. Senator Bird spoke in favor
/, of the argument of Senator Marsh, de
claring that senators who live Ear
from Madison were required to remain
here all the time and that their private
interests were being neglected, while
the members who live nearer Madison
we're able TO go home for several days
each week and were thus able to care
for their private business. He p;b-
tested that the work of the legislature
ought to be completed in three or
four months instead of six

! Legislation and in neglect of the things
for the accomplishment OF which lie
members are pledged. He said that
