The reduction Of the Democratic ma.
Jorlty in the House with the increase in
membership, however, brought the
silent filibusterer again to tho front.
He appears now ia all his glory. and
Speaker Reed takes great pleasure in
exhibiting him, believing that the en-
hioltion sustains his action in counting
a quorum as present and not voting
The Republicans frequently refrain
from voting, thus forcing the Demo
Gratis to show quorum OF their own
members.
IL was this action that blocked the
way OF the tariff bill for days after the
holiday recess. Properly worked BY
the Individual Democrats who are op-
posed TO the Wilson tariff bill, it might
defeat H. It would not take more than
forty Democratic votes TO recOmmls
the bill. 1t can be delayed indefinitely
by the absence OF less than that num-
Der as Ong as the Republicans refuse
to vote.
Before holiday recess, the power OF
cloture was manifested. IL struck she
