Gives a Warning,
Mr.. Bailey discussed at some length ths
| attitude OF the Democratic senators
against the reciprocity provision OF the
/ Mckinley law, and In doing 30. said he,
desired that Democrats should think and
| = rs tlro tIotr l..
can colleagues, who, baceuse OF the neces-;
! sty Of supporting an administration Were
compelled to vote first and think after-
wards. He confessed, however, that the
Republican party had not been alone In
| that respect, for Democrats had done thu,
! same thing, 5sy 5
| 'Rut," said he, turning towards the Rs
publican side OF the chamber, you will
| hereafter get no senators from the White
| House OH this side OF the chamber; you'll
have to take care OF yourselves IN the
| future"

Addressing the Republican side OF ths
chamber and leaning far over the aisle
| toward the Republican senators, most Of
whom were In their seats and giving him
their closest attention. Mr.. Bailey said
~ don't wonder that you look worried,
You. will get no help from us, You
have been getting It, and always have
been able to find some ono OYER hera
who was willing to make an honorable
exception, TO use the language OF the
senator from Wisconsin, and vote for
anything you might ask them TO vote
Tor. But you will get no more Of our
votes" E
