The Pre- idelt was told by su informal

Thr condition of sti,r, 10 the senata Is
such Il a. with so.k b ia day aud night
the Senate can barely get through toe ap

two or three biIls which must be passed,

nomination. This would mean no sppro
pristion bills passed by the S,nste sud a
char g to the public by tn, Democrats
that the Repub loans were responsible for

Furtb,r, the President was told by this
informal committee that there were doz'
en- Republican Senator'S who would not
pleis themselves to make this hgbt
When the President was TINS Informed
OF the situation be did not ray anything
but acted. Several Of bis friends had
during the let week binted At Judge
Jackson, and, without consulting any one,
the President sent the domination OF the
Democrat 10 the Sen ,te.
