GRAND FORKS, NORTH DAKOTA. TUESDAY,

on rules. He said Minority Leader
Clark had refused him time to speak,
whereupon he sought and received
time from the same source as the
minority leader, and that was Mr..

bill. charging that i as whsy hsyns It
purported to be. The bill, 10 said, did
not equalize duties. There was mo-
stampede on the idle rich, he said,
from the balmy resorts of the south,
where they spent their winters. Con
fident that the tariff was to be re-
vised by its friends" he asserted, this
capital has seen complete absence
of the great magnates representing
the combined corporate wealth in the
United States" He declared he spoke
in behalf of the great consuming pub
lie.
The Jokes.
Calling attention to what he said
were the jokers in the bill, Mr.. Randell
Of Texas said that every hour saved
under the rule would cover up some
nefarious scheme. The bill, he charg-
ed, was full of fraud and deception.
Mr.. Fordney of Michigan caused a
stir when he asserted that the repre-
sentatives from Kansas and Iowa were
not Republicans. you are not even
good protectionists," he said. They
were. he said. demanding protection
to the industries of their states, and
free trade on the products of another
state, and therefore, were mo bigger
than fly speck on the map of the
world" He did not like the rule, he
said, but he would vote for it.
Mr.. Clark of Missouri argued that
every member of the house had the
right to vote on the bill, "from A to
T." If members insisted on tying their
hands, he said, they could do so, but
he would not. when you go back to
your constituents" he exclaimed,
don't be so cowardly as to undertake
to lay this whole thing on Mr.. Can
non" He called attention to "the
outrageous raises" in hosiery and
gloves. The house, he said. had a
right to say whether steel rails should
go on the free list. He could, he said,
name hundreds of other items. He
charged that the delay in bringing in
the rule was for the purpose of max
ing trades, of bulldozing and wheedl-
ing men Oh to the reservation"
Answering all the arguments against
the rule, Chairman Payne declared
that the Republican party would be
held responsible for the bill before
the country. That fact, he said, had
weighed upon the committee in the
preparation of the bill. He asserted
that every fact and every source of
information had been sought that
bill might be presented that would do
simple justice to the people of the
United States, the consumer and the
laborer Responsibility on the Demo-
cratic side, he said. was different. "It
is theirs to criticize, not to con-
struct,' he declared. If the Demo-
Gratis had shown some diligence, cour-
age and patriotism, he said. they would
have presented to the country their
idea of tariff bill. He defended the
glove and hosiery schedules, about
which so much had been said, and de-
clared that under the bill they would
be sold as cheaply as they we're today
with American workmen and better
workmanship. He pleaded with his
colleagues to look beyond their dis
tricts, "and for Gods sake hasten the
passage of the bill"
I The debate was brought to a close
by Mr.. Dalzell, who insisted that the
country desired action and not talk.
He then moved the previous question,
but before the vote was announced,
Mr.. Clark of Missouri moved to re-
commit the rule and became involved
in controversy with Mr.. Dalzell and
the speaker over whether the motion
was in order. Mr.. Clark, amid Demo-
cratic applause, quoted from former
decision of Speaker Cannon, holding
that similar motion to recommit was
in order. In an elaborate decision,
Speaker Cannon held that the case
in question was on an ordinary rule.
This is not an ordinary rule" he
said, and Mr.. Clark's motion was over
ruled.
On the motion for the previous ques-
tons the Democrats forced roll call.
The vote resulted: Yeas 1876, nays 18O,
and the previous question accordingly
was ordered.
Another roll call then was forced
by the Democrats on the adoption of
the rule. The order was adopted, yeas
1874. nays 178.
Twenty Republicans voted against
the rule and four Democrats for it, as
follows:
Republicans-Austin (Tenn) Carey,
Cooper, Lenroot, Morse and Nelson,
tWis.D; Dawson. Good. Haughen,
Pickett. Woods. Hubbard: and Ken
dali Ua.); Kinshaw and Norris (Neb.)
Lindbergh (Minn.), Murdock (Kan.),
Parsons IN. W. Poindexter (Wash.),
and Young (Mich.)
Democrats - Broussard, Estopinal,
Pujo and Wickliffe of Louisiana.
