vented its mailing to every voting
man.
Instantly, half a dozen representa-

Representative canton had reiter-
ated that the publication had been
sent out ''in just cause; that no
law had been violated. He pleaded
with the house, for the SAKE of his
wife and children, to put back into
the record his own underworld speech
in which he declared that was not
one word calculated TO give oftenSe.
But Republicans objected.
AS the fire OF questions started,
Blanton abruptly closed his speech,
with 20 minutes still due him, and
shot out of the house.
The vote to GUST him, 203 to lib,
! with Summers of Texas, an old politi-
cal rival, voting present" upset cal
culations OF some Democrats and Re-
publicans who caller had predicted
that the Republican leader was wag-
ing losing fight.
A substitute resolution, offered by
Representative Garrett of Tennessee,
Democratic leader, censuring the
Texan for printing language so in
decent, obscene and vulgar" as to
render the record unavailable, and di-
recting the speaker TO 'reprimand and
censure him at the bar of the house,
was thrown out on a point or order,
| prior to the vote on expulsion.
But when The Republican leader
lost his fight to GUST the Texan, the
Democratic leader, getting the master
hand, called up his resolution for i'm
| mediate vote.
Blanton Brought Back
AS the names we've called, there
was shout of "eyes" half the mem
bers going out as they answered. The
| poll showed 293 to 0, with 26 voting

AS the word was passed that Dlan-
ton would be immediately hailed be-
| for the bar of the house, members
streamed back. The sergeant at arms
| had been directed to bring the Texan
| in.
Members turned in their seats and
| the crowds in the galleries looked
down curiously as the main door FAC
| ing the speakers desk swung open
| and J. G. Rogers, holding Blanton by
| the arm, walked to the front.
Half u dozen members on the Re-
publican side began Kissing, Dut the
demonstration ended quickly. Repre-
| sentative Blanton stood alone, one
hand in his pocket, as Speaker Gil
lett delivered the reprimand. AS the
speaker concluded, Blanton went out
side door. his shoulders dropping
a Bit. NervOusly he took U.-1 ms
watch and had Just reached the door
leading to the Republican leader
room when he fell.
An hour later, however, the Texan
was at his office, without collar or
coat, as he plunged into pile of cor.
| respondence. His wl.e was with
| him.
| In censuring Representative Blan-
ton, Speaker Gillett said:
| Mr.. Blanton, by a unanimous vote
of the house, the ayes 1913 and the
nays none. have been directed to
censure you because WI you had
teen allowed by the courtesy of the
house to print a speech which you
| did not deliver upon the floor, you in
| serted i'll it foul and obscene matter
which you knew you could not have
| delivered on the floor; and that dis
gushing matter which could not have
| been circulated through the mail in
| any other paper without a crime was
| transmitted to thousands of homes
and libraries to be read by man and
women, and worst of all by children,
! whose prurient curiosity would be eX-
| cited By it. Because of that, have
been directed to pronounce ard !
