tue. II provided that Immediately
upon the adoption of the rule as
amended the senate bill should be read
by the clerk and Immediately upon
the conclusion OF such reading a Vote
should bc taken upon the bill without
further debate. This was evidently
the drastic proposal 10 which MI.
Henry had referred. and II showed the
vets" thar all their dilatory tactics
: had been in vain. they had wasted N
unnecessary roll calls as much time as
. had been provided in the rule for the
consideration OF the bill, anf SO they
had no right to complain at the action
Of the drys in shutting of debate.
Had they been allowed TO continue
their tactics, they could have wasted
ten or fifteen hours more in dtlaiory
roll calls.
When the Garrett substitute was
read and it was evident that 1t would
nc supported by a practically solid
dry vote, the wet leaders saw
that their plan had been checkmated,
hut they were unwilling to allow the
vote to be had as long as they could
prevent IL and they continued to put
on brakes as far as possible by rails
ing points of order ana djscussnG
them as long as possible. The final
move of-the VETS" was made by MI
Gallivan. OF Massachusetts who
moved to recommit the bill with in
struction that the bill be reported
with provision for referendum ana
a bone dry" amendment The pur-
pose of this motion was 70 call for
recorded vote OF the house on the
referendum ana bone-dry amendment,
Tor the purpose of embarrassing dry
members, by putting them IN this at
Htude Of opposing a ..bonc-d dry" law
and the principle of the referendum.
Mr.. Gallivan is the member who is
reported 10 have declared that If the
house passed the District prohibition
bill he would vote with the Republ}-
cans 70 organize the next house
AIR. Mann. the Republican floor lead
err insisted upon the reading In full Of
the Gallivan amendment which pro-
tracted the session that much longer
At the conclusion OF the reading Mr.
Gallivan was allowed seven minutes 10
get out OF hts system some remarks
which he haa prepared and which ~
read from manuscript. lie declared
that not twenty men in the house who
would vote for the bill would do so
because they personally believed IN IT.
Ihsre MAS a time when there were
Democratic leaders IN the house but
these leaders Were now taking orders
from the gentleman from California,
MI Randall.
Nj Gallivan declared that II the bill
passed the getting OF # drink n Wash
lngtop viii be attended with adventure
and romance such as now is attended
with moonshining in Georgia ami
North Carolina He insisted that blind
:. .-ers,' and private d!stIIIine and -hrGa4
ing would become prevalent In con
Eress. His speech was received with
laughter by the house. Mr. GaIlivan's
motion TO recommittee was defeated
by vote OF Ill to 2a2 The end finally
came and on about the tenth roll-call

sage and was passed hH what was
