The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1913-11-27

versally believed that if the bills could
ever be forced to vote they would pass
Governor Hooper believed that they could
be pressed to a vote In twenty-day ses-
sion when nothing else was before the
Legislature. AS he expressed 1t, IF you
hold mans nose to the -grindstone long
enough the blood will finally squirt"
But the trouble was to get the bills to
a vote. The fourteen independents and
Republicans and three Regulars in the
Senate. where the Speaker was favorable,
would bring them to an issue, but in the
House, where the Speaker was merely a
rubber stamp for Crump, the forty-four
Independents and Republicans had not
been able to get vote because the six
Regulars supporting the bills would not
assert themselves against the arbitrary
rulings of the Speaker. Here was where
the mass meetings got in their work.
They stiffened the backbone of Todd and
one or two other Regulars Todd wants
to run for Congress in the Fifth District,
and the law enforcement people are
strong and wide-awake In that district.
Todd evidently dreaded to go up against
the situation in second special session,
as he came out in an interview opposing
and criticising the calling Of the last spe-
cial session.
WANTED THE CREDIT.
Another feature of the situation that
was difficult to handle was the fact that
the few Regulars who were supporting
the bills, six in the House and three in
the Senate. were childishly anxious to
monopolize all the credit for passing the
bills. This lack of cooperation with the
Republicans and Independents perhaps
prevented the enactment of the bills at
the first special session. But in the last
session Governor Hooper went into the
caucus of the Independents and Republi-
cans and advised them to lift the new
he fr4,. <aff I,At n
wagon and let them crack the whip and
foot the horns to their hearts content.
He advised that the Independents confer
freely with the Regulars individually and
collectively.
This course brought speedy results. The
first move made was the adoption Of a
new set of rules, which made 1t impossi-
BILE for the Speaker to lord 1t over the
House. On all these preliminary Ques-
tions the aye vote ranged from 80 to
SO, but when 1t became apparent that the
bills were going to pass the opposition
broke and went to pieces. and the antics
and maneuvers of the Regulars to save
their faces were ludicrous to behold. Men
who had fought the bills for nearly year
engaged In a wild scramble for position
on the water wagon. The liquor lobby
permitted men who 1t owned like chattels
to vote for the bills. Even the three ex-
Republicans, Royston, Love and Boyer,
crawled into line. Men like Walsh and
Bryant of Gibson County were released by
