as to indulge in this unjust crltielsn'
he said. There is no excuse fof IT. :
know Governor Hughes did no' ass
him TO do IL. It is one OF those cnedp
methods of advertising which are re-
sorted to here entirely too uucn- re-
sent IL as an insult and every hohe
man here does when he says we si'
here as crooks weak-kneed and pass no
resolution"
Turning 70 Senator Htnrnan and, shak-
ing his fists at him, Senator CoOO
shouted:
''I will not allow any man 10 criticlse
me in that way, and il you are a man
you will arise from your chair ara ap"i-
ogize- You know how acted, and every
Senator here acted in good faith on thA'e
resolution. We did everything possible
to have a good one. and passed IT unan-
irnousIy The Assembly for some reason
changed it, probably SO that they couid
have the credit for passing a resolution
they drafted. The resolution came PACK
here and was approved by the press OF
the state. It could have been passed
then without criticism. At some later
time Senator Human began to crit1cfse
if. told him IL could be taken up later
'The matter Of industrial insurance
was called first TO my attention by mem
bers of the Assembly who said they in
tended to include II in the resolution and
asked II in my opinion the resolution was
broad enough TO include Industrial IN
surance as il stood. Whether or not IL
was included is more or less tT1n1aterisl.
I want to say now that every moment OF
delay on this resolution, except that &C
casioned by meetings OF the COMMITTEES,
has been due to Senator Human, and
now he comes here and calls us crooks
and veakIings"
Senator Cobb said Senator Hinnan
has submitted proposed amendments to
the resolution to him There would be
a meeting of the committee tonight TO
consider them and any others proposed.
But he could not wait for this oppor-
tunity 70 come here and crittcise his
brother Senators He wanted il to go
broadcast through the state that he was
the only sanity one, the holier than
thou and so this TRADE is thrown into
the Senate"
Senator Cobb said that he had mem
orandu1n in Senator Humans own writ
ing urging that the clause referring TO
industrial insurance be cut out OF the
investigation resolution.
'If there is anything wrong with this
resolution It viii be amended" said he
CT do not believe Speaker wadsworth
entered into any deal to shield anybody
who is corrupt. 1 am not defending the
resolution. but I am defending the repu-
tation Of the men against whom Senator
Hinman has no right TO make these
charges. He. should not come here and
cast slurs on the entire Legislature. and
I trust he will have the decency TO have
his words expunged from the record
Senator Human said that he did not
intend his words 70 be regarded as
charging that the members of the Senate
were crooks. Neither did he intend to
insult Senator Cobb or any other Sen
ator.
u would not remain in this body for a
minute If believed it's members were all
crooks" said he, "and # any member be-
lieves I meant that apologies TO him.
He said that he was on record with
many members of the Senate before the
industrial insurance clause was put into
the resolution as saying that he would
oppose il until It was amended to make
possible a genuine graft hunt
