Senator Cameron said the action of the
Democrats was simply q repetition, in q
different form, of the shot gun policy, so.

the Mason and Dixon line. II was an
attempt 10 revolutionize all prece-
dents to accomplish by parliamentary
maneuvers what the Democrats had fail
ed to do by precipitating the country into
war. Senator Cameron alluded to the
ostracism of Senator Malone, because
he had darcd to say he would act accord

American senate.

motions, and the senate adjourned.
