what had never before been done in tho SEN
ate An amendment that Is collateral to the
question before the Senate was to be voted
upon without notice, with great number OF
desired to speak. II he (Telier) had not felt
1t was . fact that 1t was unfair treatment, he
would not have cared whether the vote was
taken tonight. The senator from Indiana
spoke ~ II there had been some unusual de-
lav Tho hall in nv n
Giles outside Of the Senate.
Mr.. Voorhees, denied he had been unfair.
As for criticism of himself, he intended
plainly, frankly and fearlessly to do his duty
as he understood 1t and take the conse-
Quences.
After more discussion of this kind Mr..
Voorhees withdrew his motion that the pend
ing amendment bo laid on the table and MI.
Teller withdrew his motion to adjourn.
Mr.. Teller said II the Senate was willing to
go on tonight he was perfectly willing.
There would be found some one ready TO de-
bate the question until debate was exhausted.
and there was majority there to do It, tho
opponents Of repeal would be ready to debate
the question. He had the roll called because
he knew 1t was one of the obstructive meas
ity. He had made the motion to adjourn for
the same purpose. Did the man from lndi-
ana and the people he represented suppose
that he could bulldoze the American Senate
he did, he (Mr. Teller) would tell him, hav-
ing had an experience In the Senate antedat-
ing Mr. Voorhees,, that It never had been
done and never could be done.
