FAIL TO SAVE BUTLER'S SEAT
Democrats waste Hours OF OBJ
structive Tactics, but Are
Finally Beaten.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Amid scenes
which recalled the memo fable and exciting
days OF the hfty-hrst congress-. James j.
Butler Of Missouri was unseated today by
the house and George c. II. Wagner was
seated in his place.
The democrats had decided at their eau
Gus this morning that IL this case was
called up they would prosecute a hlibuster
from now until March 4, regardless Of con-
sequences upon legislation, and they began
the fight as soon as the gavel fell at noon.
Roll call followed, and It took over three
hours TO approve the journal OF yesterdays
proceedings.
Then, when the decks we're cleared, the
case was called. A spirited debate OF two
hours followed, and finally, after repeated
roll calls. the case was brought to a vote.
The democrats then attempted to block
things by leaving the hall, but enough alb
sentees finally we're brought in to make up
the necessary quorum.
The closing chapter was dramatic. MIR.
Dalzell (Penn.l, who was in the chair, re-
fused to recognize a demand for division,
n Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.), the minority
leader, stood in his place, and denounced
his course In unmeasured terms amid the
jeers Of the republican side. The handful
of democrats present were overridden
%roushshod, and Mr.. Wagner was seated.
The republican leaders in deciding to
force this case to a vote did so with q per-
feet realization of the embarrassments
which would follow II the democrats car
ried put their filibuster threats and have
arranged q program to reduce the minority's
obstructive power to a minimum, as far as
the appropriation bills are concerned. This
is to be accomplished by a special rule
which has been tentatively prepared by
which all the preliminary parliamentary
steps for getting appropriation bills with
senate amendments into conference can be
cut of. But later this afternoon republic
ans Interested in the. public building bill
threatened to vote against the rule unless
1t made provision for that bill.
This disturbing factor in the situation was
not Strengthened out tonight.
The republican program also includes a
proposition to continue the legislative day
OF today until noon, March 4, in order to
obviate the long and tedious work of APP
proving the journal against hlibustering
tactics.
A recess was taken tonight until II to-
morrow morning, and a rule has been pre-
pared which hereafter will give a motion
to recess precedence over a motion to ad-
journ. Under the operation Of these dras-
tic measures 1t is believed that lone Of
the appropriation bills, or other necessary
measures, will be jeopardized, but the pres
emit situation, undoubtedly sounds the death
knell of many minor measures.
