The Senate journal does not record who spoke for or against a motion, so this is the vote record without the debate.

The journal records 4 senators as excused by the Senate for the day, that is, permission to be away. A senator excused for the day may still have voted on part of it, and the roll call record does not always agree with the journal about who was excused.
