would insist on action OF all bills in
the future, whether they be passed or
killed, and that the Chair would not
allow a consideration Of any bills in the
future.
Senator Gormley, Democrat. replying
to Senator Alice. said it made no differ

desire i'm the matter. as TO killing or
passing certain measures: the minority
would adhere strictly 10 their former
attitude in voting no on all bills carry

issue with Speaker Short in his ruling
on refusing to allow reconsideration

piled that he referred only to such meas

cision OF the Chair to which the Speaker
retoined, You have that privilege, as
YOU have had and done in the, past"
