President Wallace—All in favor of the adoption of these resolutions as read will say "Aye." (A chorus of "ayes.") Contrary, "Nay." (There were no negative votes.) The resolutions are declared adopted.
Mr Ross—Mr Chairman—
President Wallace—We will hear you.
Mr Ross—That is all I want, that you should hear me. In view of the fact that this report is presented and heard by the Delegates at this late hour for the first time, and in view of the fact that the report of the Committee on Resolutions and the action of the Congress thereon is all-important and the final result of such a Congress, and in view of the fact that we are to meet tomorrow morning at 10 oclock or half-past, or whatever time it is, I move you, Mr Chairman, that action upon this report be deferred until the convening of this Congress tomorrow morning, in order that the Delegates may be able to read the report, section by section, as it may appear in the newspapers tomorrow morning—
President Wallace—The Gentleman is out of order.
Mr Ross—So we can act intelligently.
President Wallace—The Gentleman is out of order. The resolutions have already been adopted.
Mr Ross—Mr Chairman, the motion is made. Will somebody second my motion? I will see if I am out of order.
Mr Johns (of Washington)—Mr President: I move to lay the motion on the table. I am from the State of Washington and glory in it, but I do not glory in some of the men that the Governor appointed.
The motion to table was seconded, put, and carried with one dissenting voice.
