The following is the address of the Commit
tee on Resolutions:
The Administration now in power has rem
dered itself guilty of wanton disregard OF
law. 1t has acted as if laws had binding force
only for those who govern. 1t has thus struck
blow at the fundamental principles of consti-
tutional government and the liberties Of the
citizens. The President of the United States
has openly used the powers and opportunities
of his high office for the promotion OF personal
| worthy men in places of power and response
