division OF the House upon this motion,
Mr.. COLEMAN Of Portland: Mr.
Speaker, wish to endorse all that has
been said by the gentleman from Cas-
tine. Mr.. Kicker, in relation to this bin.
Yesterday afternoon. after the session
opened, and almost before the gentleman
wre seated here, til motion, to indh-
nitely postpone this bill was made. Now.
it. might be that I was in fault for not
getting here exactly at the moment whom
the session opaned. Had I been hr, i
for on should have voted against the In
definite postponement Of this bill and
1 understand that great many OF the
members Of this House feel the same
way; so that hope you will sust11nt
the motion made by the gentleman from
Castine, Mr. Kicker, to reconsider tA1e
vote whereby this bill was indefinitely
postponed, in order that II may bs
thoroughly considered, and then II II ~
the desire of the members Of the Ho0He
that the matter should be postpoued,
1t can be done. !
Mr.. PIERCE of Houlton: Mr.. Speak
er, I rise simply for the purpose OF
seconding the remarks Of the two pre-
y-ious speakers. This is an important
measure, and it is the law in number.
Of states, and it does not seem to ma
that the House should vote a. Il haA
upon this measure. do not wlsh to
accurse anybody Of anything unfair. ~
the action of the House was alright. and
the gentleman making the motion had
the time I was in attendance at = corr
mittee hearing and was unable 70 get
here on time. It certainly seems 70 me
that this matter is matter w1acn 70
quires serious consideration, ana DO
not see why the gentleman should OBJ
ject to taking it up tomorrow.
