meant what he said and ] give this
time to withdraw his remarks"
Senator CRUDE did a proficient job
of non-withdrawal.
Il challenge you If it was not at
your solicitation that ! introduced an
amendment which made sense out OF
nonsense. That was the only amend
ment introduced"
II didn't. say it was by amend
ments." replied Senator CRUDE. Il
said il was by your actions and your
vote on every amendment offered"
Il will read you my amendment"
said Wood And he read the amend
ment he had offered. again reiterating
tached to the bill.
Would Bear Scrutiny.
IL do not know what all the amend
ments were that were considered at
that time" he continued. 81 see no
reason why we should blandly accept
the word of any one man as to the
merits OF this bill. We should act
with deliberation. The measure GER
tainly will bear scrutiny. Why should
we act with undue haste? l. believe
this body should move with decency
and decorum, so that it may give it's
judgment intelligently.'
Then Senator Kane obtained the
floor to deny the charge thathe was
Woods lieutenant.
Ordinarily" he said with much
heat. Il do not pay any attention to
I.L III, \ nd al 10.
ment. because the man who says them
Gains down and generally is sorry.
But / deny that l am the lieutenant
of anybody"
He launched into a splendid peror
alton about how he was nobody s
man but his own. and how he had his
own judgment and was willing to be
be responsible for his own acts.
This BILL he declared, is vergine
perilously close to dangerous ground
and am opposed TO it on principle.
the amendments ought to be in the
bill. make no apologies. No fifty
men can agree on any subject sucf
as this. | don't believe | ought to be
criticized because | don't agree witt
some one else. | resent being criti
cised by innuendo.'
Oratoricai Things.
Then he said lot more oratorica
things about standing by the courage
OF his convictions. and taking the
blame for what he did.
One thing. however. he didn't eX
plain. and that was why he was OPP
posed to having the bill considered
then. when in open senate the day be
fore he had promised CRUDE he would
agree to have it considered Wednes
day IL CRUDE did not urge its consider
alton Tuesday.
Then Senator Proctor made his lit

down in history as one of speeches
which saved the senate in the stress
of terrible crisis. After explaining III
