come here and propose doing things
on business methods. hope he will
not drag business methods into this
chamber. l fear that there has been
too much business method in this
Dill. We do not want men to come
here with those methods. We want
them to come and adopt legislative

agree with them.
I'VE do not want any lectures on
our business here. 1t does not be-
come any man, however, important
he may consider himself, to come in
