Mr.. Hoar criticised the president for
expressing his approval or disapproval
of bills before congress had acted on
them. His remarks were called forth
by Mr.. Burton offering a bill, which he
said had been vetoed once by the presi-
dent, but that it now met with his ap
proxal.
1T is being continually stated in the
newspapers said Mr.. Hoar, that such
and such bills are administration meas
ures, and that a set of senators had
called on the president and made ar
rangements for the senate's action on
trust bills, the statehood bill and other
measures. The time for the president
to make up his mind about statutes is
before, unless he avails himself of his
constitutional privilege to make COM
munication to the entire body by mes
sage"
