for our station. He hoped the Senator'S would a.
low all men to act as their conscences and the In
ieres,s of their constituents might dictate
One Senator had said that the debates Were un-
d9pified hen compared with those OF the British
Parliament Now this was not so. He would read
an extract from speech to show how low the Brit
ish Parliament sometimes descends he then quot
ed from Niles Register an extract from LORD

tleman had opposed the War in 1912. He did not
stop the Var then and he would not stop II now
