Raleigh, Jan. "21.?In point oF
amount of work done yesterday wan
the busiest day thus far In this session
of the GeneraJ Assembly. Both
branches convened and adjourned
practically simultaneously and were
in Session an hour ttiyl a half, during
on dand third readings, a number
were- ratified and once or twice in
each house the proceedings were enUvened
to a degree heretofore uhuhual
by debate and contests, which In
uiid i swcstttd'flii ilib ynr add
vote after an objection to suspension
of the rules.
Of considerable . Interest Is this
roll call, which was taken on the
adoption of a joint resolution introduced
in the House by Representative
E. J. Justice, to invite Messrs. W.
J. Bryan, Woodrow Wilson and Robt.
M. LaFollette to addrea'athe General
Assembly. Its significance lies in the
fsct that, in a measure, though not
conclusively, it is taken to Indicate
me altitude bi me SIBSQItR fiiunibership
of the House towards these
national political leaders, their views
as to certain principal reform measures
they advocate and the sentiment
in the House relative to certain reform
measures upon which the body
.will be called upon to act during this
session.
Mr. Justice requested unanimous
consnt for Immediate consideration
of his resolution. Objection was made
by Representative?B T. Havmore.
Republican. Mr. Justice then moved
suspension of Che rules for immediate
action upon hla resolution, and was
sustained by the necessary two-third
vote. Mr. Haymore then called for
the yeas and naes and Mr. tustlce
seconded the call. On the roll call 65
voted for tho adoption of the Justice
resolution and 2? against It. While
opposition to the resolution -was led
cans voted with hjm, and at the same
time a gooa epriDKic or Democrats
voted against the resolution.
In terest w as Injected into the Settate
proceedings by debate on the
queatlon of Authorising certain committees
to employ secretaries, the argument
relating to the Idea of retrenchment
and to the report of the
JolAtbommlUee appoiiied u> uiresugate
ae to the "humber of clerks and
other employes needed In the General
Assembly.
Of State wide Interest is the hill
