with point of order to the effect that
O'Connor's language was improper, and
the chair supported the point.
Continuing, O'Connor said that the
house did not know what they were
voting on; that even in the case of
shooting a dog no decision was given
without record of testimony, but here
was case where a mans character
was attacked, and that in his opinion
if the mode of procedure attempted
prevailed, nothing worse could be done
to blacken his character.
Mr.. Streeter explained the almost
unanimous action on the original reso-
luton by the statement that it had come
as surprise and that the members were
carried off their feet. He then went on
to condemn the action taken, saying
that the mistaken was in entertaining
unsworn statements against a;;:st Cowan as
ground for instituting impeachment pro-
ceedings. He then made the charge that
someone had been sending newspaper
Cuttings of tie evidence against Cowan
to the Judges daughter who is attend
ing school in the Twin Cities.
Davis at this point sent communlca-
ton signed by members of the organ
ization prosecuting Cowan to the desk
and asked that it be read. 1t stated that
each and every one of the ten or twelve
citizens who had signed the statement
absolutely denied any knowledge or
part in the alleged sending Of clippings
of any kind to Judge Cowan's daughter
or any member of his family. Price
moved that this communication be de-
MED admission to the journal and the
motion prevailed
The previous question, which was the
motion to make action on the reports
special order for tomorrow, was de-
manded, and on being put failed of
passage.
The question then being on the adop-
ton of the majority report, Homnes
demanded roll call. which resulted
in the adoption of the report to indef-
nitely postpone, the roll call being as
follows:

start the proceedings" He said the
members from Cowan's district were
representative men and were willing,
like the majority of the members, to
reply on the committee, while the anti
Cowan men were relying on the press.
Sorlie condemned as "black hand pro-
ceedings" the tactics employed by the
prosecutors of Cowan.
Doyle of Foster wanted to know if
the committee had ever notified the
house that they were disregarding the
instructions of the body appointing them
in the matter of making a record, so
that the testimony could be returned
with their report, and the speaker stat
ed that there was no special report COW
ering such facts. Doyle argued that
such procedure was unheard Of, and
that heretofore throughout the history
of the house proceedings so far as he
knew them in all matters were COM
mittees brought in divided report, no
matter how trivial might be the matter
reported upon, the two reports, togeth-
er with the subject matter was consid-
cred in committee of the whole house.
He said this report threw the respon-
sibility on the house, and if they were
to vote intelligently they must have
more light on the matter and not de-
pend solely on the opinion of six men,
bers of the committee who had disre-
garded their instructions.
MIR. O'Connor of Grand Forks said
that when the resolution for impeach-
ment proceedings came up in the house
it had passed almost unanimously; that
heroic efforts had been made to have
such action reconsidered the next day,
but had failed, and dwelt OH the fact
that the specific instructions of the
house had been disregarded. He said,
"The chairman says there was no mon
ey with which to employ stenograph-
err, and in the next breath tells us that
an offer was made to take care of the
stenographer Why did he not accept
that offer? In my opinion, their minds
were made up to whitewash-"
