Your patronage respectfully solicited.
Austin, Tex., Jan. 31.—There
was a fire-works exhibition in the
House this morning, arising over a
proposition to invite ex-Governor
Hogg to deliver his address in the
House of Representatives instead
of in the Opera House as hereto-
fore announced. Some mighty
plain things were said about the
ex-Governor, and strenuous objec-
tions were expressed to the author
of the pr6pOsed constitutional
amendments being permitted to
use the House of. Representatives
for the purpose of speaking to the
amendments when he declines to
go before the committee before
which the amendments "are pend-
ing.
The hour for consideration of
resolutions expired before reaching
a vote on the resolution,or amend-
ments, and the proposition is up
in the air. Before the considera-
tion of the resolution was cut off,
Mr. Gary, one of the authors of
the resolution, indicated that he
was willing to accept an amendment
for Mr. Hogg to come before the
Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, sitting in the House
of Representatives.
The resolution inviting ex-Gov-
ernor Hogg to make his addrees in
the House chamber was offered by
Mr. Aldrich of Houston and Mr.
Gray of Smith.
Mr. Garner Of Uvalde offered an
amendment providing that Mr.
Hogg be invited to address the
Committee on Constitutional
Amendment?.
Mr. Boyd of Hill offered an
amendment inviting Mr. Hogg to
meet Judge E. B. Perkins in joint
debate on the subject of the H/5gg
Amendments.
Mr. Garner, speaking to his
amendment, said: "Members of
this House will remember that the
Twenty-sixth Legislature had a
message from ex-Governor Hogg—
via the people. Now it seems he
wants to give another message to
this Legislature—via the people—
through his address next week.
The objeet of my amendment is to
place ex-Governor Hogg On the
same footing as every other private
citizen of this State. I don't deem
that it is necessary for him to ad-
dress this Legislature upon its
duties; but let him go before the
committee and address its mem-
bers upon any measure in which
he is interested. The railroad
attorneys frankly say they are
lobbyists and are paid to fight this
measure, but (governor Hogg 3ays:
.'Oh, I am not a lobbyist, but all
of you'come down to the opera
house and let me talk to you about
it!' " (Laughter and appluse.)
What is the reason, Governor
Hogg, you don't come before the
committee, where men can ask
you questions? 'Ab, boys,' says
he, 'I am opposed to lobbying'.
Gentlemen, I -want him to have
the manhood to come up before
the committe and say, 'I 4m in
favor of this.' But if he (comes
to this House of Representatives to
deliver his address I will have no
right to ask him a question. No,
he will be the boss of the situa-
tion. But if he would come before
the committee to deliver the ad-
dress I would have the right to
ask him questious. I want fair
play.. Im going to vote for the
Hogg amendment, but X say to
you that no man has a right to
take such an advantage as Gov-
ernor Hogg would have in a dis
cussion of this cnaracter. Each
side was given five hours to dis
cuss this question before the com
mittee, but I understand not a sin-
gle man has appeared for the sup-
port of the amendments. Still
you want to invite a man to this
hall who refuses to go before the
committee. He is no better than
any other private citizen of Texas
when he comes before the Legis-
lature. Let us daal with the mat
ter as sensible men. We have no
right to hoist one citizen above the
other. If he doesn't want to come
before the committee, where every
other citizen will have an equal
opportunity with .him, then let
him go to the opera houce or some-
where else."
Mr. Shaw of Dallas expressed
surprise that there should be op-
position to the resolution. "I un-
derstand that the amendments
were adopted by a Democratic con-
vention," said he. "Governor
Hogg's position is that when the
Democratic party has given its in-
struction to the Legislature the
jury has given its verdict and that
we are estopped from doing any-
thing but to submit the amend-
ments to the people."
Mr. Boyd: "If that is true,
what is he going to speak about
Tuesday night?" (Applause.)
Mr. Shaw: "That is about up to
the average ot intelligence on that
ine. He is going to speak in re-
sponse to the petition of a large
number oI people that want to
hear him—a number of Democrats
who want to hear the Democratic
side discussed. We extend the
rail road side, as a matter of cour-
tesy five hours; but now we see
the anomalous condition that
members of this House want to
deny the Democratic side a hear-
ing."
Mr. Eilis: "Didn't the commit-
tee extend the same time to the
other side?"
Mr. Shaw: ".Yes, sir; in com-
mittee, but I don't think anybody
informed Governor Hogg."
Mr. Garner: "Won't my amend-
ment give him an opportunity to
be heard before the Joint Commit-
tee?"
Mr. Shaw: "Isn't five hours
enough to hear that there gang?
Why do you want to be bored to
death by a joint discusion. Let
Governor Hogg come here and
give us the Democratic side of it.
I insist that, in respect to the
Democratic convention, we should
vote for the resolution."
Mr. Griggs of Harris said the
committee should get all the in-
formation it de sires. Five hours
were accorded to ea^h side, but
the committee understood that the
other 8ide„(the side favoring the
amendments) refused to come be-
fore it. Inasmuch as the side that
opened the. discussion had . not
copcluded, he thought no one on
that side would object to any one
from the other side coming before
the committee now. UI don't be-
lieve anybody has a right to come
before this Legislature who re-
fuses to come before that commit-
tee," he continued, "and I don't
want to hear any bodytwho refuses
to come before the committee. As
a member of the committee, 1
vitethemto come before it."
Mr. Lane of Fayette said:
have heard Mr., Hogg discuss his
amendments. 1 believed then and
believe ftow that the manner of
discussion by Mr. Hogg is an in>
suit to the members of this House;
that it is* an insinuation on the
part of Governor Hogg that the
members of this Honse are dis-
honest, and I don't want to invite
him here to insult this member-
ship. Governor Hogg has for
sometime posed as a great Phari
see, standing upon the corner as t
great friend to the bread winners,
claiming that, he of all people in
Texas is the great friend of the
'
poor man.
Mr. Smith of Collin: "You say
it is an insult to the members of
this house to invite Governor
Hogg here?"
Mr. Lane : "No, sir; I said
nothing of the kind, and if you
had been listening you would have
known*it. Governor Hogg stands
upon the corners aud thanks Got;
that he is not like the average cit-
izen of Texas. He may say he is
the friend of the people of Texas,
but in my opinion the proposition
which he is asking us to adopt
here is that he may get political
prestige. It is plain that the
amendments are such as could be
enacted into law, hut he asks you
to make them a patt ot the Con-
stitution, which WOuld cost the
State thousands of dollars. But
if you pass these Constitutional
amendments, -instead of enacting
them into law, the question would
be agitated over the State, ant
Hogg, being looked upon as the
leader of the amendments, would
get political prestige in that way
If they were enacted into law that
would be the end pf it and the

be necessary. Governor Hogg well
knows that he has the same privi-
leges to be heard upon his amend-
ment that every other citizen of
Texas has, and, thank God! we
don't want to give him any more.
We invited these other gentlemen
to address the committee; they
said they were no higher than any
other citizens of Texas, and they
came before the committee and
discussed the question as gentle-
men ought to do. But Governor
Hogg asks us to run down to the
opera house, ancl then comes this
resolution irfviting him to address
this house, anduotthe committee.'
Mr.(Garey said the reasons of
himself and the .gentleman from
Houston in offering-the resolution
was purely because a number of
members of the House expressed a
desire to hear Governor Hogg.
We don^t ask this an any dis-
tinguished considerati9n to him,"
said Mr. Garey. "We only ask
that thiS privilege#be grauted to a
private citizen of Travis County
and the State of Texas. I don't
speak as a partisan. I wish to be
as well informed on this question
as I can be. We have heard a
number of arguments on the other
side. Yesterday the committee
room was too small and the com-
mittee adjourned to the Senate
chamber. 1 am not a member of
the committe and I would like to
be informed upon the question.
Our object is simply to h^ve Gov.
Hogg come to this house instead
of going to the opera house." ^
Mr. Garner: "Don't you think
Governor Hogg and the joint com-
mittee could adjourn to this house
and the joint committee then con-
trol the discussion instead of turn-
ing it loose?"
Mr. Gary; "I hadn't so under-
stood the amendment. If the gen-
tleman from Houston will accept
the amendment I am willing ty
accept it. My sole* purpose is to
be as well informed as possible. I
want to vote intelligently and to be
able to defend my vote. There is
ample precedent to ask the gentle-
man to come Uere. The Twenty-
sixth legislature invited a distin-
guished gentleman from Navarro
to come-here."
Mr. Hill of Denton then spoke.
He was very -scathing in. his re-
marks. "I oppose the resolution
and all its amendments," said he, .
"but I prefer the amendment of
the gentleman from Uvalde in
preference to the resolution. The
distinguished gentleman referred
to has stated in private conversa-
tion and in public utterance that-
ne wanted the 'yellow curs' who
intended to vote against the amend-
ment to face him. If that is the
way he intends to brand the men
who have the courage of their con-
victions, as 'yellow curs,' it is not
the duty of this House to incur
such travestration of honest men.
Can any member of this House
say that Mr. Hogg is more distin-
guished than the other gentlemen?
The other gentlemen have gone be-
fore the joint committee. But he
says h'e opposes lobbying! That
may be true. But, gentlemen, he
can exercise his God-given right of
free speech and go before the com-
mittee without stultification. 1
don't intend to place myself in a
position to be abused by that man.
He has almost made it personal
that he will hold these 'yellow
curs' responsible; that he will go
into their counties and see that
these ' members are relegated to
their poiitical graves. But he won't
come before the joint committee
because he might suffer by asso-
ciation with railroad attorneys, and
yet, if I remember right, he was at
one time a railroad attorney. It
may be that bis professional duties
have undergone a change. The
gentleman from Dallas says
we are bound to vote for these
amendments; that a vote against
his resolution would be a* discour-
tesy of the House to the Democratic
party. I have never heard that the
Democratic party demanded that
Governor Hogg be invited here. If
Hogg is the Democratic parly, may
1 ask upon what meat has this
Caesar fed that he has grown so
great? To vote against the reso-
lution cannot be a discourtesy .to
the Democratic party except upon

Mr. Grishaifl made.a point of:
order that the amendment was to
have the House invite Hogg to
address the committee,
it is the province of the co
to extend such invitation.
The Chair, Mr. Sehluter in tha
chair, ruled the point out of order.
Mr. Hogsitt of Tarrant expressed
regret at the feeling manifested.
The amendments, lie said, consti-
tute one of the mo£t important
subjects the Legtslature
considered. He said he was a 1
-ber. of the committee,- and
wanted information from all
sources. "The gentlemen on the
other side," he continued, "have
presented some questions that I, on
the opposite side, am unable to
meet. Some of the objections are,
to my mind, good. I Want to hear
them discussed, I don't care by
whom, as -long as they are intelli-
gent men. 1 don't.know any one
better calculated to give us infor-
mation on tne other side than the
author of the amendments. I
want to make up my judgment un-
biased, calmly and to the best in-
terests of the State. I care uoth-
mg for the personality of the per-
sons who come before us. I want
light upon the subject, and I am
sorry to see this acrimony and
personal feeling. 1 beg you to
support the resolution and let us*
hear Governor Hogg. He has pre-
viously originated matters that
have been good for the State. We
may not be able to go wittr him in
this matter, but let us hear him."
At this juncture the Chair an-
nounced that the hour for consid-
eration of resolutions had passed.
The resolution can be called up
to-morrow morning. ' •
