Globe-Democrat is Denounced by Missouri Legislature. Jefferson City. Mo., March 20.— Republicans and Democrats of the Senate and House united today in de- nouncing as false and malicious the article in The Globe-Democrat this morning under the caption ‘Drunken Democrats Turn the Assembly into a Sunday: Debauch.”” Both branches passed resolutions condemning the Republican organ in strong terms. Every member, Re- publican and Democrat, voted for the resolution in the House and only two Republicans opposed it in the Sen- ate. They explained that they disap- proved of the head lines, but did not believe the reporters should be cen- sured. The House voted to bar represent- atives of the paper from the floor during the remainder of the session. The Senate omitted this embargo from its resolution. Legislators, irrespective of politics, were incensed when The Globe- Democrat arrived here this morning proclaiming in big headlines that the lawmakers had desecrated the Sab- bath by engaging in drunken revelry. So worked up were some of the members that friends advised the representatives of the paper attacked to remain away from the legislative halls. They yaccented meld the advice.
