Outline OF tho Argument by Mitchell
Against tho Seating Of Mantle.
and Other AppointeeS.

WASHINGTON. March 30.-The debate
yesterday on the question Of tho right to
seats In the senate Of persons appointed by
the governors of Montana. Washington
and Wyoming was resumed this morning,
Mitchell. of Oregon. making legal and
constitutional argument against tho report
of the committee on privileges and cleo
tions, which declares them entitled to
seats.
Among the disastrous consequences that
would follow the adoption of the majority
report, Mr.. Mitchell mentioned these: It
would unreasonably augment and extend
the prerogatives OF the state executive over
those of tto legislature. and subordinate
the constitutional functions of the legisla-
ture TO those of the executive; it would
place premium on treason to party Or
aanization and party discipline; it won!d
encourage factions and minorities in a
legislature in filibusterinR efforts to defeat
the election of senators, and II would tend
to prevent a fair expression Of the will OF
the majority Of q legislature. In conelus-
ION he expressed the conviction that a
majority Of the senate would vote for the
admission Of the three senators, but such
vote would be one to overturn the deliber-
ate precedent established by the senate
after full consideration over sixty-eieht
years ago. 1t would establish precedent
that would result, insrde of ten years. In
