attempted to stem the current but
became somewhat confused and dur
4 ing the same speech made two an
tagonistic motions. Both of them
went for naught as did also that of
Sorlie of Traill to lay the substitute
indefinitely on the table. The ques-
ton reverting to the motion of Mr..
Stevens to refer both to the commit
tee on state affairs and it carried.
ParentheticaHy it might be said that
the original resolution is now per-
fectly harmless as the records show
that it is antagonistic to the doctrines
and policies Of the republican party
and that it is contra to the ideas of
some of the greatest statesmen of the
nation who have been and are the
leaders of the republican party. The
reading into the journal of the utter
ances of the presidents on the matter
was one of the cleverest pieces of
parliamentary practice that have been
tried for years and the ones who plan
ned and successfully carried 1t out
are we'll pleased with the results.
HansbrOugh Law Endorsed.
The resolution which endorsed the
Hansbrough amendment to the de-
natured alcohol law and which had
been favorably reported by the COM
mittee, was passed without opposi-
ton.
A number of resolutions concerning
the methods of conducting the busi-
ness of the house were Dassed and
then Representative Buttz introduced
his resolution in reference to the ap-
portionment. This was one of the
matters which it was known in ad-
vance would be, fought but it prob

in the matter is the pronounced one
Of his political party. During a fight
Of eloquence he was interrupted by
Mr.. Stevens who asked him to explain
to the house what the ship subsidy bill
was and he was compelled to dodge
the matter. Mr.. Stevens pressed his
interrogatory and demanding that Mr.
Casey explain the nature of the bill
and thus inform the house. Mr. Casey
did not explain.
MIR. Sorley came again to the defense
OF the resolution and while not at
tempting to explain the nature of the
DIE in congress conveyed the idea that
the republican party in tn nation need
ed purifying and this resolution would
do it.
Major Buttz called attention to the
fact that if the resolution as pending
was certified to the members of con-
gress from this state and attempted to
be read in the same that therein would
be stopped because of the reflection
upon members of that body and that
the legislature would be advertised to
the world as sending resolutions to
the members Of congress which were
not allowed to be read. The legislature
and the people of the state would thus
DE disgraced in the eyes of every
citizen of the nation.
Representative Streeter opposed the
resolution and paid a glowing tribute
to the republican party and the lead
ers who have made it and said that he
would never permit his voice to be silent
While attempts were being made to
lmpugn the motives and assail the pub
lie acts and the characters of men who
had been trusted by their party and
the people. At the close of his remarks
a vote was demanded, and as the roll
call proceeded the most humiliating
defeat administered a majority lead
er was recorded. The vote was on the
motion of Mr.. Stevens to amend by
striking out the newspaper portion OF
the matter, and was carried by the
overwhelming vote of G1 to 25.
Democrats Supported Sorley.
The remarkable thing is that eyerv
democratic member of the house, voted
with Mr.. Sorley except Hallock of
Grand Forks, who was absent. Twelve
of the votes recorded in behalf of re-
tanning the Journal article We're cast
by democrats. They were consistent
for they were voting for their party
and for policies and principles which
We're strictly democratic.
1t is said that the resolution was
suggested by Packard, the Valley City
muchraker, and if it was he was
turned down with duller thud than
he was when he attempted to use

was for the good of the people of the
state he would support it, not because
of the source from which it came but
because of his own judgment and that
ne would not for a moment hesitate
to oppose anything that came from
them if he did not believe it was right,
and that if the self appointed leaders
did not like it, they could go to a
land-a liberal translation of the name
of which is tnat of place where
they don't shovel snow.
1t would take considerably more
than the fingers of both hands to count
the men who are in the same position
and VINO are chatting under the party
saddle just as much as the one men
toned. They want to stand on their
own responsibility and not on that of
some one else and they realize that
they will be required to account for
their stewardship when they return
home and that they can hope for lit
tie hearing on the argument that they
have merely traded bosses, when they
were elected to their positions in
order that they might be Independent
and self thinking men.
Another thing which has dis
appointed many of the republic
cans even those who were most
enthuiastic for the present organ
ization. is the fact that on every
occasion the democrats of the house
enthusiastically endorse the move-
ments and plans and policies of the
whip. AS a newspaper correspondent
can understand why these heretofore
lone pillars of salt in the desert are
much in evidence. They have not had a
very liberal degree of attention from
the majority party in the past, and this
even now is a matter of complaint
among them-whether justified or not
l am not now considering-and they
feel that under present conditions they
are getting at least chance to get
wind. But among the republicans Of
the majority, who are republicans first,
last and al the time-and by the way
there are plenty of them-this demo-
cratic endorsement is rather CALLING.
One Of the members told me after the
fight on the famous subsidy resolution,
that he had read something on that
matter and had intended to vote for
the resolution just as it was present
ed until Mr.. Casey. the democratic
member from Walsh. had made a
speech advocating the passage of the
same, and that he then concluded that
IL the democrats wanted 1t, according
to history it was wrong and he there
fore voted against the matter.

lAFrERNOoN BULLETINo

New York, Jan. 23.--Unexpected
progress was made today in the work
of selecting jury for the trial of
Harry K. Thaw, the millionaire, for
the murder of Stanford White, archi-
tect, at Madison Square roof garden,
the evening of Jan. rs, 1906. When
recess was taken little before
o'clock, two Jurors had been accepted
and sworn out of seven examined.
The examination of the talesmen
did not fully develop the line of de-
fense, though there were illusions in
the questions of the prosecution as to
the law, as it relates to the sanity of
an accused person, and to the un-
written law of which so much has
been said and written since the trag-
edy was enacted. During the examin-
alton of the first talesman, Thaw's
counsel objected to the form of ques-
tions as propounded by District Attor-
ney Jerome, as to the insanity or un-
written law, but they told the court
they did not object to the questions in
principle.
Thaw's face, pallid from his long
stay in the Tombs, broke into smiles
as he saw his wife, his mother, his
sisters and brother seated in court just
behind the chair that had been left
vacant for him. He bowed low to his
relatives, and seemed for moment
oblivious to every thing else.
New York, Jan. 23.-Disorderly
scenes attended the opening of the
trial of Harry X. Thaw, in this city
today, on the charge Of numbering
Stanford White. Most of the clashes
were between reporters and cores
pondents and police. There were per-
haps 200 newspapermen and police
man for each. Only about fifty news
paper writer's finally were admitted,
the remainder of the space in the
