Difference Of Opinion.
Attorney General Thompson and
other parliamentarians hold that
Speaker Walker' failure t act today
settled the question of reconsideration
and that th resolution now was ready
for engrosiing and' certification to
Washington. Others, however, including
wading suffragist, maintained that th
motion stood oa the journal aa a mat
ter of record and aaaeted upon, and
that to remove all doubt it mast be
disposed of.
It waa with thia object la view that
th suffragist today, by a vote of 49
to 47, defeated a motion of th op-
poeitloa to adjourn nntil Monday after

Up to now It has been conceded that
whatever support the President brought
to the campaign would b in the form
of letters.
It was admitted by Democratic
leaders today that it ia the hope of

Partisan politico flared up in the
House yesterday during a diseussion of
the new revenue act whieh passed on
iU final reading by a vote of 88 to 21.
- The failure of th Republican to
make a deat In the solid Democratic
merhership or to hold their own mora'
bership ia line was little short of
tragic. Aa the diseussion passed out of
the elemental state, Victor 8- Bryant
of Durhsm appeared a the champion

a aUtecmanlik manner shattered every
argument advaaced agalnat the bill
By implication Mr. Bryant let the
Republican party of North Carolina
know that the Democratic party I
willing to go to th mat on tha revalua

Herring Leade the Fight
Representative "Dick" Herring, sub-
atituing for Minoriy Leader Williams,
led th assault on the revenue bill
when it cam up for final reading. He
wa aided by a. half dozen members
of hi party who arose, It seemed, to
register lew titniult the suggestion
they voted for th revaluation act last
seaaion.
Wild of Madison county broke this
rather lame aeeanlt and put th minor
ity party la th attitude of fighting the
revenue act purely to create political
eapital for the coming campaign, a
hing freely charged during the debate
yeaterday.
"I don't know whether I wa th only
Representative ef my party to vote
for this bill or not." Mr. Wild said
when several member had denied vot
ing for th bill originally. "I voted oa
information I received from Senator
Hyatt (Bepublieaa), beesuse I didn't
have the opportunity to thoroughly
study the bill myself. He said it wa
a fair proposition and on his statement
I cast my vote. Much applause greet
ed this declaration.
Bailey and Clark Are laieeted.
Collector Josiah William Bailey and
Chief Justice Walter ' Clark were
brought into ths arguafeat yeaterday at
no considerable advantage to the poai
tlona they have taken oa the revaluation
question. BepresenUtlv Brysnt had
just - finished a well executed Job of
flabbergasting Herring when Doctor
Bryant. Republican of Tadkln, asked
fwhat th farmers ars going to say whea
Bintey and Clark carry their burden to

The Democratic farmer will ask for
th facta. Mr. Bryant retorted. "Keith
er have said, however, that th railroad
or bank property is assessed at lest
than IU value."
Persona! Privilege Days Start
Yesterday was open sesson for per-
sonsl privileges, a much feared time
for the newspapermen. Tha Newa and
Observer day before yesterday recorded
Poole, of Montgomery, as a lie publican
in printing th summery of the vote on
the suffrage resolution. Of course, Mr.
Poole Is nothing of the kind. The varl
oua processes of getting a vote score
card into the paper furnish many op
portunities for error and Mr. Poole
happened to be the first victim of the
special session. -
It was newspaper printing Jiowever,
that moved Governor Doughton to sub
mit some remarka at the beginning of
the consideration of the revenue .bill.
A State paper, editorially, had said that
the revenue act reflected the abaence
of eommon sens or eourage. The Gov
ernor, arising to explain some features
of the bill, commented on the editorial
first.
This General Assembly may not
have eommon cense, skid he, but
it has gratitude. It is not a psrsimoni
on body but a represenUtive body.'
A te th suggestion that th lack of
levy oa real property for State pur
poses would strike hard at the cbarl
table nd educational inatitutiona, the
Governor said that they would be eared
for generously and thst each had been
considered in the framing of the reve
nue act.
The only fears 1 have ever had, have
ever entertained, continued Governor
Doukhtoll, J'hsvs been fears that will
be baaed on a demand for extrara
