We, the undersigned, hereby enter this, our
page: 132[View Page 132]protest, on the journal of the Senate, against the ruling and decision of the Chair when a viva voce vote had been taken on the question of referring House resolution No. 7 to the Committee on Judiciary with instructions, and before said vote was announced. Senators Bundy, Spann and Foster demanded the yeas and nays, but the Chair disregarding said demand refused to give the said Senators a call of the roll for the ayes and nays. And we hereby protest against the ruling of the President of the Senate, regarding it as the right of Senators and a question of the highest privilege to have a call of the Senate for the ayes and nays when demanded at the proper time.
