| After voting to reconsider the Bur
nett.Hill resolution which was adopted
Thursday afternoon so amended as to
eliminate all reference to political
parties or factions, the house on Fri.
da" r. ernoon by vote Of 6S ayes, 81
nays and six absent and not voting
adopted the resolution as it was orig.
inally introduced, including all ret
erence to political faction
Opponents to the measure which
aimed to denounce the alleged activ-
ity on the part of the so-called stall
wart faction of the Republican party,
did not submit without a struggle, but
the missionary work which had been
going on at the instance of the So
called progressive element, also dub
bed yesterday as the purity brigade
since the matter was originally acted
upon in the house, proved too great a
force to successfully combat, and the
amended resolution was recalled and
substituted by the original feature.
Hjort Moves to Reconsider.
AS one OF the members of the house
who voted in the affirmative upon the
adoption of the amended resolution,
Representative Hjort moved that the
vote by which the resolution was
adopted be reconsidered.
Representative Lambert arose to
point of personal privilege and referr.

been put to him by Representative
Klein on the previous day, he cited

he claimed to have Loyalty supported

little scrap in the house, and settled
it," he said, "and there is no use in
spreading upon the records any more
of this personal abuse"
He declared there was nothing at
issue except personal spite and spleen
and that it would be we'll for the
house to get together and bury the
hatchet inasmuch as the old saying
that a house divided against itself

present situation.
"As much as hate to be marked
a stalwart, l am going to be marked
that way today if it is necessary" he
said and concluded with plea for
support in an endeavor to defeat the
motion.
O'connor Resents Remarks.
Representative O'Connor arose at |
this juncture and resented what he
chose to imply had been unfair re-
marks directed toward the democratic
members of the house, both in the re-
marks of the gentleman from Ward
on the previous day and on the occas-
ion of his talk imme ediately preceding |
and which were to the. effect that the
democrats were boosting the cause
along for the purpose OF getting an
to stick the knife into
their opponents.
He referred to the original Fox in
yestigation resolution which has been
introduced several days ago, and
which he declared was directed only
against the progressive element of
