He declared that II the deacieno,
bill a failed It would not have been
due to the rules OF the senate hut ~
h situation which was presented IN
the house. u
Therefore. whatever Of d~ictation
whatever there was as respects this
item, 1T was because the house for reas
sons OF Its could MT take the or.
derly n usual processing and meth
g Of legislation by taking these items
INTO the house and into the senate and
having h judgment Of the two houses
upon them"
He said he was panied to see what
seemed to him to be a violation Of the
rules Of the house itself. Mr. Cannon,s
speech had been applauded, he said.
Why? Because the senate had been
held upon the gfbbet of public opinion
as to Its rules compared with the rules
OF the house, SO sanity In their nature
and character"

put the blame on the senate rules,
which had existed for a hundred wears
