 q am very glad indeed" Senator Sulzer commented, that the Sena. tor has changed his tactics. For our part we are willing to give the utmost publicity to this matter"
 After the third roll call. Senator Aldrich arose to move that another roll call be taken, Before his mo. tlon was seconded, Senator Hub. bard was on his feet with a motion to adjourn. AS he sat down, he turned to Senator Gaustad and saij "Second that notion Senator Gaustad seconded 1t, but when put 10 a vote, it was lost by tie vote.
 "We have offered q very generous and unusually liberal settlement Of this deadlock" Senator Sutherland said, but 1t has been refused We owe something to our constituents, but there are some points that no man Of principle can yield. We have taken our stand and we propose to stand by it."
 After the fourth roll call, Senator Gaustad introduced Resolution No. 2, providing that the Senate should be governed during this session by the rules of the 1915 session, with the House manual as an authority on parliamentary procedure.
 Senators Roman and Suizer object. ed to the motion because there were not enough available copies of the House manual in the city. The mo- ton was lost because of the tie vote.
 A motion by Senator Hubbard, seconded by Senator Sutherland, au. thorIzing the President pro tempore. to employ a sergeant.at-arms was lost because of the four to four alignment
 "There has been enough delay al- ready" Senator Sutherland said, "let us proceed with the election of the stcnographCrs."
 ITO show you that it is not our intent to delay these proceedings" Senator Aldrich said, "I move for a roll call on the permanent Presi. dent"
 It carried and the fifth roll call was taken. On motion of Senator Roman, a recess was taken until 2:3O o'clock.
 The sixth roll call was taken i'm ncIiately upon converting at 2:3O, but the voting showed no change.
 Senator Aldrich, in moving for the seventh roll call, called attention to| the fact that the Senate organiza. ton was proceeding under Section Of the Organic Act and that any resolutions or motions other than the election of q permanent Presi dent were out of order.
 Discussion on this, in which Sen. ators from both factions took part, was followed by the seventh roll call. which showed no change.
 Senator Hubbard moved that the President pro temporc be empowered to get copy of Hines Precedents | for the use of the Senate, but SEa- tor Aldrich insisted that the only course open to the Senate was to proceed with the election of Prcsi. dent under Section [ of the Organic Act.
 Senator Roman resented what he said were aspersIons of Senator Hubbard on parliamentary conduct in the Senate, included in Senator remarks after the motion failed to pass.
 In the eighth roll call, Senators and Hcckman voted for Senators Hubbard and Gaustad for Heckman and the line. up for Aldrich was the same as be- fore.
