1t was no secret among those who
had the confidence of the leaders on the
Republican side that they expected to
defeat the tariff bill and that they
figured on majority of one against It.
The first break on the Democratic side
came Whe the name of Caffery was
called and he responded with an en-
phatic "no." His colleague, blanchard,
did, not respond to his name at all
when it was called.
Irby, 1t was claimed, had promised
to vo5e against the bill, but when his
| name was called, he responded in the
| affirmative, and all hope of defeating
the bill vanished.
| Gallery, then after brief explana-
tion and q protest against the way his
people had been treated, changed his
vote to one in favor of tho bill, and
| l}lancnard voted in the same way.
| Had Irby stood by the combination, the
| TWO Louisiana Senators would hove re-
! matned firm and the vote would have
| been 81 to 3G against the bill.
