WHEREAS, The House of Representatives has been in session now for five weeks endeavoring to elect a Temporary Speaker; and

WHEREAS, It is the utmost desire of each and every member that the House proceed to organize, elect a Temporary Speaker, and proceed with the transaction of business; therefore, be it

Resolved, That the House shall, beginning at the hour of 10:00 o'clock a. m., Wednesday, February 10, 1915, remain in session continuously until a Speaker shall have been elected; and that in order to expedite this result, the voting shall proceed as follows:

First At the conclusion of the first roll call on Wednesday, February 10, aforesaid for the election of Speaker if no one has a constitutional majority, then those voted for on said ballot shall constitute the only candidates eligible to be voted for on future ballots.

Second-At the conclusion of the next succeeding ballot, if no candidate has a constitutional majority, then the candidate having the lowest number

of votes on said ballot, shall not be eligible as a candidate, and shall not be voted for on future ballots: Provided, however, that if two or more candidates shall have received the same number of votes for Speaker, which number shall be the lowest number of votes cast for any candidate for Speaker, then said two or more candidates receiving the lowest number of votes, shall be dropped, and thereafter be eliminated as a candidate. That the alloting shall proceed thereafter in like manner eliminating the candidate or candidates receiving the lowest number of votes on each ballot until some candidate shall receive a constitutional majority.
