Mr.. Butler. But we have tied ourselves
up by code Of rules. TO which the Sena-
tor subscribed when the Senator took the
oath OF office. Now I understand him to
say that he IS not bound by that code Of
rules, except 50 far as It meets his ap-

Mr. I'M: We have tied our hands. I
propose TO unite them. so that We can
change the rules.

Is no practical difficulty II the majority
OF the Senate desires 10 change the rules.
I have thus far proceeded under the strict
letter of the rules. but what position the

minority. ! hope that before this debate
IS through the majority will be found by
my side. ready 10 insist on its Constitu
tional right TO amend the rules. whereby
the Senate can carry out the will Of the
majority.
