Just read this section of the Constitution, and work it out for yourself.
The speaker only has a casting vote.

40. Questions arising in the House of Representatives shall be determined by a majority of votes other than that of the Speaker. The Speaker shall not vote unless the numbers are equal, and then he shall have a casting vote.
