Helena, Feb, s.-tSpecial) )--The roll
call was without incident today until
the name OF Senator Whitesi,ie was
reached. Everybody had voted az he
had done the day before.
"Whlteside.' said the clerk.
wv. b. George" said Whheside.
In a jiffy the senator from Yellow
stone was on his feet.
MIR. President" he said, II want
to ask the gentleman not to do that.
am not Il candidate and prefer not to
have his vote. He will do me u real
kindness To change to T. j. Walsh"
II appreciate the gentleman's posi-
ton" said the man from F'lathead,
but | shall let the vote stand"
This was followed later by a speech
by Representative Nolan, who informed
the republicans that Iowa had given
up It's primary law and taken on the
Oregon law.
After the ballot was announced Sem
ator Stout of Fergus caused some ex-
citement by moving to vote again.
Eyes were opened and ears pricked
What does Tommy Stout mean?"
asked the republicans. Has he a
surprise up his sleeve?"
Colonel Nolan.
Among other things, Colonel Nolan
said: I'm the olden days men spoke
In parahles and fables. / viii tell you
a story. There was meeting OF
Scotchmen once. at a church which
needed repairs. and one OF the men,
bers. a parsimonious fellow, objected
and protested. Finally, however, he
moved that n subscription be taken,
and headed the list with a paltry
sum. BY the time he got the figures
out OF his mouth IA piece of plastering
fell on his head. This made him say,
i did not know that It needed re-
pairing 50 badly. and, therefore. in
crease my donation 20 cents Hear
ing this. an old gentleman back In the
again."
Il guess the members on the other
side OF the house have read OF the ac-
tion OF the Iowa legislature relating
to the primary law The other day
the gentleman from Chouteau county
appealed To the members OF this body
by mythical majority. ana the sena-
tor from Carbon. using his figures.
said that the voice OF the people was
supreme. and that the democrats, To
be consistent. should support the re-
publican candidate. ! generally recog-
nize the voice of the people when
hear 1t.
''lf we had the Oregon primary law
we would not have these farcical pro-
ceedings from day to day. III the peo-
pie had voted for u republican for the
senate | would say elect him. The re-
publicans have an opportunity To COR
rect their past and give us primary
law So long as the lamp burns the
viest sinners may return. Iowa,
which Is strongly republican, has de-
nounced this mockery and pretense.
which the republicans OF the senate
have given US, and will have no more
of It.
81 still cast my vote for the choice
of the people. T. ]. Walsh"
There was a note OF JOY in Mr.. No
lan's voice. The action of the Iowa
legislature, coupled with the passage
OF the Iowa law in the Montana SEN
ate. made him happy, In explaining
his vote. he spoke more OF the prl-
mary than of his candidate.
"OFlynn,' said the clerk, as Mr..
Nolan sat down.
Nv. q. Conrad" declared Mr..
O'Flynn, and the audience laughed,
Colonel Nolan joining in.
II move you,' declared Senator
Stout, that we take another ballot.
We have been voting here day after
! day without getting anywhere. The
only way To move Is To pile up votes"
| Twenty mine out of lol present votes
voted for the Stout motion. A num-
ber OF the leading Walsh supporters
would have none OF il. This vote
