In order to pur; a stop to the time wasted iu tho house almost every day b' members who feel themselves called upon to answer attacks made in the Herald-Ropubliean, Page of Piute 3"cs-tcrday 3"cs-tcrday moved that henceforth it be noted in tho journal of the house that members had denied the dail3r attacks iu the I-Iorald-Rcpublican or any other paper and also that tho house had passed n vote of eoulidonce in the members mem-bers attacked. It would save time, said Mr. Page, for it had como to bo a daib' occurrence tJiat some member of the houso is made the victim of au attack. 1 Tho matter came up on a little f speech made hy .llonrie of Garlicld on ) a.cptcstiou ofWer60nal privilege. ' "The Hora fa-Republican takes mo to tnsl," said Mr. Henrio, ''for tailing to support in, 1911 the proposed income tax amendment. At that time I had befOro mo tho message of our houor-1 houor-1 able governor who strong- opposed ! the ratilication of the ameudment and 1 his views" met ni3 vicws exactly. Sinco 1 that time I have hud no reason to J change U13 mind or taller m' position.' 1 "This paper brands mo as uu truthful truth-ful wh'ou-it' declares that as a candidate candi-date for', tho speakership of this house I ' felt anger and nourished a grudge against tbo -present: speaker.

"It mn3r not be given mo to posbess tho infallibility of the venerable editor edi-tor of the irurald-llopublican, and when I do reach the lovel of his infallibility poihapH T shall make no more mistakes." Whon Mr. Ilcnric had concluded, Mr. Pago got up to dollne tho point of personal per-sonal privilege. Ho said tho privilege related only to that which occurred on the floor of tho house. "So long us tlio Herald-Republican attacked onl.y tho Democratic members of tho houne, it was amusing to mo, but now whon it attacks tho Republican Republic-an niombers, I feel a great alarm. I do sorionsl3". T see threatened tho disintegration disin-tegration o'C that, great parl3' and that would bo a calamity unquestionably. " ' Mr. Pago then mado his motiou that denials on tho part of 'members who fell under the displeasure) of the Her-ald-Republicun bo printed beforehand in tho ioumal and also, that thero fthouhl be noted iu tho journal n vote of eoulidonce, and thorn the incidout closed after the motion had beeu uuan. imoualy adopted. |
