Which amendment was adopted.

The resolution as amended was adopted.

Upon motion of Senator Skogmo and with unanimous consent, Jt. Res. No. 39, S. was ordered messaged to the assembly at once.

Jt. Res. No. 41, S.,

Expressing to President Wilson the sympathy, support and confidence of the legislature of Wisconsin.

Whereas, The people of the United States are a courageous yet peace loving people, who abhor war, the destruction of life, and the sufferings and misery that accompany and follow it; and

Whereas, Our hearts go out in sincere sorrow and sympathy to the people of all nations involved in war, and especially to the widows and orphans occasioned by such wars; and Whereas, We realize that many perplexing and momentous questions arise in our relations with the nations involved in

war; that these questions test the utmost patience, endurance, and wisdom of our great President; and

Whereas, We are desirous of assisting and encouraging him in his stupendous task by our sympathy and our support; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the legislature of the state of Wisconsin extend its congratulations to the President of the United States, on the able and wise manner in which he has conducted the affairs of our Government in the present trying situation, and especially in maintaining our neutrality and friendly relations with all nations; that we extend to our President our sincere wishes and earnest sympathy in his work, and assure him that the people of this state are in entire accord with his efforts to maintain peace with the world; be it

Further resolved, That we trust, while maintaining the dignity and honor of this nation, he may be able to so conduct our affairs as to avoid conflict with any of the belligerent nations, and so by our example and attitude lead warring nations to an early peace; be it

Further resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the President of the United States.

By Senator Bichler.

Senator Bichler asked unanimous consent that the resolution be considered immediately.

Senator Fairchild objected because other resolutions relating to a similar subject were required to be brought in with the recommendation of the committee on Legislative Procedure.

Senator Burke moved suspension of the rules that the resolution might be considered at this time.

Some remarks were made concerning the nature of the resolution, and Senator Burke arose to the point of order that a motion to suspend the rules is not debatable.

The question was: Shall the rules be suspended? The ayes and noes were required, and the vote was: Ayes, 30; noes, 2; absent or not voting, 1; as follows:

Ayes Senators Ackley, Albers, Arnold, Barwig, Baxter, Bennett, Bichler, Bosshard, Bray, Burke, Culbertson, Cunningham, Everett, Glenn, Huber, Jennings, Kellogg, Martin, Monk, Mulberger, Perry, Potts, Rollmann, Scott, Skogmo, Staudenmayer, Stevens, Tomkins, Weissleder and Whitman-30.

Noes-Senators Fairchild and Hanson—2.

Absent or not voting-Senator Richards-1.
So the rules were suspended.

Senator Bennett moved the previous question, which motion was sustained by the required number.

The question was: Shall the main question be now put?
