The San Francisco call., 1910-03-20

to a committee with Instructions TO
report to the house on the first Mon
day in December next.
Prompt support for this proposition
came from TaWney.
An impassioned denunciation OF the
insurgents by. Mccall of Massachusetts
called forth uproariouS applause on
the republican side.
Il do not propose to vote to denver
the speaker bound hand and foot over
to the minority party, said Mccall with
great vehemence.
LIKE ULYSSES OF OLD
Speaking in laudation of the speaker
Mccall said the speaker reminded him
of old Ulysses, who, starting on his last
voyage, said: Pull on. and gave MS
last order to strike until death
Gronna of North Dakota spoke brief
ly, declaring that the American people
were determined to control legislation
and that they were insistent that no set
rules should prevent them from eXer-
cising that power.
Concluding the debate. Norris lis
avowed any personal feeling in efforts
he had made for a revision of house
rules.
NOT A Personal SLAP
This effort to change the rules"
said he, lis not intended as personal
slap .at the speaker or any one else.
There is no feeling against the speaker
unless it has been brought into this
house by ,the speaker or his friends.
''All over this land" declared Norris,
''our constituents are praying and hop
ing that this movement will be sue
cessful."
Derisive laughter on the republican
side and loud applause from the demo-
Gratis and insurgents greeted this re-
mark.
BY vote of 17S to 15s the previous
question was ordered and an aye and
no vote was taken on the substitute
resolution offered by Norris to his
original resolution.
WITH COUNTENANCE UNMOvED
During the repeated rollealls, the
speaker stood in his place, gavel in
hand. and with countenance that gave
no indication of the workings of his
own mind. He was the center of OBJ
servation of the 1000 visitors in the
galleries as we'll as of the members and
regular attendants of the house.
NORRIS SUBSTITUTE ADOPTED
BY a vote of 1913 to 15S the substi-
tute offered by Norris for his original
resolution was adopted. On the floor
and in the galleries applause was long
continued
The speaker then laying before the
house for its action the resolution as
amended. Tawney demanded the
ayes and noes upon that. and again
the roll was called. The question in
volved in this vote was precisely sim
liar to that of the previous vote, but
the demand for it forced another rec
ord of the attitude of the insurgents.
Although the house had been in ses-
sion nearly four and half hours, and
although most occupants of the gal
leries had taken their places two hours
before the time for meeting, there was
no tendency to retire. From the doors
of the galleries were lined up long
columns of men and women who had
come there hours before hoping to be
able to gain admission. Many of them
belonged to the families of members
who held useless tickets of admission.
AS the last rollcall was nearing
completion the speaker talked with one
of the clerks at his desk and laughed
heartily. The final adoption of the
resolution by a vote of 191 to 155 was
then announced.
Il move that the house do now adj
journ," shouted Norris of Nebraska as
soon as the vote on his resolution had
been declared by the speaker.
Amid great confusion the calm voice
of Speaker Cannon was heard.
"The speaker he said in tones that
suggested the asking of favor, asks
