The Harrison times., 1911-06-10

dent Toney had arbitrarily, with,
out putting the negatives and ig-
noring demands for the roll-call, de-
clared the Senate adjourned until
11:45 a. m. Friday. Senator Fire
dell declared several motions for
the correction of the journal out of
order, and appeals from the chair
were not sustained.
The Insurgents were out-gentraI.
ed and out-voted at every point,
vet if the Republican member, SEN
ator Christian, who was lined with
the insurrection, had been present
the tale might have had a different
ending. AS it was, he came in too
late tor the proceedings, and his
brother revolutionists went down
in defeat for the lack of one vote.
The vote on the question Of ap-
proving Thursdays journ L. which
may be taken as representa- We Of
the two factions, is as follows:
Ayes (Rcgulars -Clergct Coving
ton, Fricdell, Glover, Henderson,
Holland Hughes, Keel, Logan,
Martain, McBce, Rancy Robertson
Watson, Williams, roney-l6.
Nays - Carl Lee, Deaton, Dill,
Fletcher, Green, Holt, jacobson,
Johnson. Miles, Oldham, Owens,
Phillips. Rodgers of Benton, Tur-
ner, MoodS-l5.
If Senator Christian had been
present, the motion would have lost
on tie-vote, and the same number
might have proceeded to correct the
journal. But Senator White, one OF
the leaders Of the Regulars, was out
of the city that day, and his return
swung the Numerical balance back
into the hands of the dominant
party.
! Tony STILL PRESIDENT.
And Senator TOney continues his
seat as President, Notwithstanding
the resolution adopted Friday de-
claredthe office vacant and put an
other man in his place. 1t is con.
Tended, anyway, that thirteen men,
Va majority of the quorum voting,
could not unseat the president,
when it required a majority of the
Senators elected or eighteen, to
elect him. However that may be,
there is no record of any steps ever
having been taken to oust him, the
proceedings of the so-called Senate
on Friday having been expunged
And so this week Senator Torey re-
sumed the Presidents chair, and
aside from a few grumblings and
mild-mannered protests, the lnsur
gents were powerless. The Regu
lars are strictly in the saddle, and
are not likely to be unseated again
even temporarily or ostensibly.
And Gov. Donaghey and Senator
Toney are throwing verbal brick,
bats at each other The governor
says that he feels complimented by
the condemnation of "such men as
Toney and Covington, and that he
would never have called the extra
session had he thought that Toney
would preside over the Senate
knowing that he would permit
nothing to be done for the good d
the state,
And Toney counters by declaring
that in his estimation Donaghey is
not Democratic, is unfit to be GOV.
ernor, being a misnomer, and dis
qualified by education, nature
training and habits to fill the high
position which he holds He has
been a most gigantic failure on
every proposition the state has ever
had from the beginning" says the
President, and TODAY he has every
department Of the state facing an
enormous deficit"
Senator Toncy at great length re-
views the record Of GOV. Dohaghcy,
and criticises him at every point.
He condemns the vctoes of numer-
Gus bills, and asserts that he vetoed
the Pine Blufi-Little Rock highway
bill because Of personal enmity to-
wards the author, President Toney.
PROBABLE LEGISLATION.
At this time it appears very prob
