ourselves thereof, we beg to respectfully sub
NIT the following as our expurgation:
We declare 1t our belief that the language
used In the memorial to the Senate Ia In con-
tempt Of this body and derogatory to Its dig

sented the said memorial to us, requesting
our signatures. He represented 1t to be q
respectful memorial from Republicans pro-
testing politely against the unseatin9 Of
W. 7. Kellogg, and on that representation we
signed the document. The memorial as pub
lished In the proceedings OF the Senate
OF the United States Is an entirely different
document. 1t contains language we cannot
sanction and reflections against the majority
OF this House we cannot indorse, and the said
memorial In order to induce our signatures.
We assure the House that we regret exceed
tngly being put In contempt Of their au-
thority and dignity. We plead as an excuse,
therefore, the reasons herein set FORTH and
ask their acceptance.
Yours, respectfully,
b. GARDNER
