Valencia objected to giving this con-
sent and the speaker thereupon de-
clared Mr.. Pardue out of order.
Appeal From Chair.
Mr.. Pardue appealed from the de-
cision of the chair and demanded a
roll call on his appeal. What fol-
lowed was lively and interesting A
number of members confessed their
ignorance of the rules and asked to be
excused from voting on the ground
that they could not vote intelligently.
Others took more or less sharp issue
with Speaker Llewellyn or with Mr.
Pardue. Mr.. York Of Otero declared:
'1f the speaker can get by with
this, he can put across anything he
wants to-"
Mr.. Bryan of Union burst into tor
rent of eloquence that was the orator
ical marvel of the session.
During the course of his remarks
| he kept his hearers guessing as to
how he would vote on the appeal
From certain pointed references to
the presiding officer placing the iron
heel upon the necks of the members" 3"
1t was inferred by some that he was
lining up with Mr.. Pardue. From an
expressed desire to pour oil upon the
troubled waters" there were others
who gathered that the weight of his
influence would be thrown in favor
of Speaker Llewelyn. Mr. Bryan ap-
pealed to his fellow members mot to
vote like lot of sheep herders or like
an ignorant man like myself" Finally
he resolved all doubt as to his stand
on the question at issue by abruptly
terminating his speech with the re-
quest that he be excused from vot-
ing at all.
Chair Is Sustained.
The result of the roll call was that
the chair was sustained by vote of
80 to 10, and the roll was then Or
oered called on the original motion.
1t was when Mr. Pardue's name was
reached on this roll call that the diff

reached the point of greatest tensity.
Rising from his seat at the call of
nounced touch of sarcasm in his tone,
remarked:
"Mr. Speaker, guess | can explain
my vote, can't II"
Speaker Llewellyn's anger at this
question was plainly evident
"The gentleman from Guadalupe
understands perfectly we'll that he is
entitled to explain his vote" was the
hot rejoinder. land that the chair
has no disposition to deny him that
right, and I wish to say that ] resent
the gentleman's tone and manner,
GUS"
Then, Mr.. Speaker | desire to rise
to question of personal privilege"
said Mr.. Pardue
"The gentleman cannot rise for
anything at this time except to ex-
plain his vote" snapped back Speaker
Llewellyn.
Pardue Again Called.
Mr. Pardue then proceeded to read
from the rules of the house, evil
IDENTIFY with the intention OF explain
ing that, because he had not had an
opportunity to debate the merits OF
the resolution, he could not vote for
it, but Mr. Barnes made the point of
order that his remarks were not ex-
planatory to his vote, the speaker
sustained the point and Mr.. Pardue
voted mo" and sat down.
The passage of the resolution by a
vote OF Al to 3 carried matters over
to the point where there was moth

later Speaker Llewellyn called Mr..
Pardue to his side, there was a whis-
rered conversation, the two shook
hands, the speaker placed the gavei
