[responses to a motion to adjourn until the following week]
MR. SPEAKER: We vote “no” because we think it wrong for the Legislature to adjourn at this time, for either recreation or pleasure, and before anything has been accomplished towards relieving the people from the onerous burden of taxation imposed upon them.

MR. SPEAKER: We vote “I” because we do not believe that there will be a quorum present on Wednesday next.
MR. SPEAKERS: We vote “no” because we think it is a wrong perpetrated upon the people of this State. We have pledged ourselves to retrench and reform, and believe in practising what we preach.
Mr. Reese in explaining his vote said: Personally I am opposed to adjournment, but from the feeling manifested in this House no good can be accomplished during the time proposed for the recess. I vote yea.
Mr. Campbell voted yea because he believes that animal nature, after severe labor and trial, needs rest and recreation.
And the House at 1:40 adjourned until Wednesday next at 10 o’clock a. m.
