vote of Thursday night was orousn1
up by Robert Stone OF shawnee M McouIi-
ty shortly before the noon adjourn
1nent Herr of Barber county was the
only member to speak to the quesIloh-
He criticised the tactics pursued py
the minority members in fighting the
measure and questioned the sincerity
of Brewster of Doniphan in seeking
to inject amendments into the resolu-
ton which the Barber county menpel
declared sought to make the medsuIe
useless and imperative. AS ne Ielt
the floor Herr moved the previous
question and further debate was snul
off by a strict party vote
There was a wild scene on the moor
of the house as Speaker Brown an
nounced that the resolution had car
ried by more votes than the required
two-thirds vote. Waste baskets, pa
pers and pamphlets were hurled from
the Demo cratic side OIL the mousse lIl'
the ranks of the Republican oppon-
ents of the measure and these missiles
were promptly returned by the Repup-
ncans to the south side of the house:
For several minutes the cheering OF
the Democrats continued with no ef-
fort on the part of the chair to restore
order Then as the members subSloeo
and returned to their seats, an ao-
journment until 2 o'clock was OF
dered. 1t was clearly the biggest ado
-S0f( in
since the opening of the session.
Following three hours of spirited
debate, the resolution had been de-
feated Thursday night by vote or
~ to AZ when the Democrats 1a1led 10
