MIR. HEALD AND RECIPROCITY.

Tn COMMENTING on Congressman Heads at

ment the Democratic local newspaper congratu
ates Mr. Head for favoring the agreement, but
adds that Mr. Head was paired with Mr.. Turnbull
Of Virginia and did not vote for the final passage
Of the measure.
This is an incorrect statement for both Mr..
Head and Mr. Turnbull we're among the POI
members OF the House that voted for the bill on
its final passage there being only % votes in OPP
position
This vote came at 80 o'clock on the evening
of February d. There we're four roll calls on
that day. The first roll call was at If o'clock in
the morning on a motion TO dispense with the
District Of Columbia business and take up the
reciprocity bill This motion prevailed by vote
of 243 to 3S. and it was on this perfunctory vote
at 1 o'clock that Mr.. Head and Mr. TuRubull we're
paired About o'clock in the afternoon OF the
same day Mr. Bouiell of Illinois brought in reso
luton from the Rules Committee which was in
tended to choke off all debate and to bring up the
bill for final vote without amendment On this
question Mr. Head voted in the negative, but the
motion was carried by vote of 200 TO l07.
The next roll call was on a motion 10 recommit
with the following instructions: "To add the fol-
lowing articles TO the reciprocal free list, TO wit:
fresh meat and all meat products, flour prepared
cereal foods, bran, agricultural implements, cot
ton ties and bagging, binding twine and lumber"
On this matter Mr. Head voted in the af6rma-
tive. that is in favor Of the foregoing additions,
but the motion was lost by vote OF 1875 to 49,
Shortly afterward Mr. Head voted with the 22i
members who were in favor of the bill. that is he
supported il on final passage after he had favored
an even more extensive free list And in so doing
VIC believe that Mr., Head acted in accordance with
the preponderance of sentiment among his constit-
uents of this State as we'll as the general senti-
ment throughout the country.
