HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
December 18th, 1913
Gentlemen | am not in the habit Of troubling you
with explanations of my votes; but, to avoid mscon-
cep.ion as to my opinions motives, desire to say,
that in my vote against the motion of Mr.. Rhett OF
South Carolina to suspend the rules for the purpose OF
offering his resolution of instructions 10 the committee
of Ways and Means, did not intend to indicate
any appreciation dsapprobation of the principles Of
the resolution; but from unwllngness, first, give
vote which might by implication, be,ray dis!rust
of the soundness of the committee of Ways and Means,
which do not entertain; and secondly, because had
petitions to present and REFER of which required The
speedy action Of the House, and which could not
waive for the consideration of olution which had
been suddenly submitted, without consultation as to
time or matter. am much opposed to the late tariff
bill the ntroducer of that resolution and will unite
with him in nsructing the committee to act upon the
subject, whenever may be satisfied that they will not
act without such instruction not before.
Very respectfully. yours,
