Sulloway's Big Talk in New Hampshire House Debates Gag Rule

In Concord New Hampshire Sept 28 a raucous House session centered on the Hazen bill and the “gag law” attempt. Debate on Batchelder’s 99 to 30 year lease amendment, Stone's substitute, and procedural motions stretched into late night. Sulloway held the floor from 6:15 pm to 2:15 am, trading barbs with Page and others, while the Boston and Maine fight aimed to force votes on all amendments without further discussion. The episode prompted indignation among fair-minded men and was described as a first in state history for a non political subject.
