Exciting Speeches.

“I have a right to cast my vote_aa my constituency dictates,” shouted Representative Turner off New Albany, answering the hisses that came from the lobby and galleries. “ Whatever you do, don’t take away my beer, because I like it. If thisbillbecomes a law and is enforced we shall have intolerable conditions in New Albany because of our proximity to Louisville, Ky., and it will be unsafe for women to ride on street - cars crossing the river because of thj drunken rowdies that will go to the Kentucky city to get their drink. So long as men are constituted as they are now they wilt get drink, regardless of what you trv to do by legislation.”
