The question is on the appro'val ot the Journal. Mr. LA FOLLETTE. The language that you quote is not the lan­ ·. Mr. CRISP. I object to the approval, and desire to correct the Jour­ guage in this RECORD. nal. Yesterday while the House was under a call, the call having Mr. CRISP. It is certainly the language of the RECORD that I have disclosed the presence of more than a quorum, the Speaker, ;vithout before me. If there is a difference-- any suggestion from any member on the floor, directed the Clerk to Mr. LA FOLLETTE. The language of the Speaker was, "It can­ call the roll upon the question which was pending at the time the be done without objection." '\ : : . want of a quorum was disclosed. To that proceeding I interposed an Mr. CRISP. I read that. ._ ·,., ... objection. So far as I have now gone, the Journal states what took Mr. LA FOLLEITE. I understood you to say, " It can be done by place. The Chair theh determined that such a proceeding might be unanimous consent." had by unanimous consent (although no unanimous consent had been Mr. CRISP. The Speaker said, "It can be done without objection," asked or given),and inquired whether "the gentlemanfrom Georgia" and rny reply, as reported in the RECORD, is, ''Why, of course I ob­ [Mr. CRISP] objected. "The gentleman from Georgia" did object. ject." But my recollection of the colloquy is that the Speaker asked I then understood tbe Speaker to hold that in that condition of affairs the question, "Does the gentleman object?" and my response was, the proceeding proposed was not in order. That, Mr. Speaker, does "Why, of course I object." But I appeal to the official notes of the not appear on the Journal. No ruling of the Speaker on the subject Reporters to show what the statement was, because the statement of the appears on the Journal, if I heard it correctly. I ask the Clerk to RECORD now makes my reply rath~ irrelevant and strained. When turn for a moment to that part of the Journal and see whether I am the Speaker asked, "Does the gentfeman object?" my natural reply not correct. was, ''Why, of conrse I object." But when the Speaker says, "It The SPEAKER. It does not appear ou the Journal, and should not, can be done without objection," the reply was not so na.toralj so that the Chair thinks. there bas been some failure to give an exact ·statement of what took Mr. CRISP. Then, Mr. Speaker, I move to amenu the Journal by ~~ ' making it appear that the Speaker sustained the objection-- Mr. BOUTELLE. What is the specific criticism the gentleman The SPEAKER. The gentlem~n will furnish his amendment in makes? writing. · Mr. CRISP. My point is that the record of what took place is not Mr. ALLEN, of Michigan (while Mr. CRISP was reducing bis amend­ entirely correct, and hence that it will not do to appeal to the RECORD ment to writing). A parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Speaker: How long to show what actuaJJy took place. must the House wait for a member to reduce a matter to writing? Can A MEMBER. It is a question, apparently, of punctuation. ,.· t we not proceed with business? Mr. BOUTELLE. But in what way does the ge13tlemari conrend Mr. CRISP (after a further pause) sent to the desk his proposed that it is incorrect? Does the gentleman state that what the Speaker ,· •' amendment. said is not accurately quoted, or what he said? The SPEAKER. The gentleman from Georgia proposes an amend­ Mr. CRISP. I do not say that it is inaccnrare as to what I said, but ment to the Journal, which the Clerk will read.
