at an interview between the two Senators
and me and you told me that you had
been informed from various Democratic
sources that an agreement among the
Democrats on any amendment would be

THE two Senators called upon me
again upon the 23d or Path of April There

made that IL might be possible after
voting upon the proposition forbidding

amendment which could be adopted
should be agreed upon, it ought to be
drawn by the Senators themselves I
suggested Senator Allison as a proper
person for further conference. and the
matter. as far as I was concerned. ended
there. remember hearing nothing
more Of it until I was just about taking
the train for North Carolina, when
was reminded by Senator Tiliman and
Mr. Chandler that you had submitted
an amendment known as the Allison
amendment. There was nothing in our
conversation which bound you to any
amendment in particular or restricted
your liberty at any time to aoquiesce Ia
any amendment which you should deem
expedient and IN the public interest.
Very respectfully,

women and girls are asked to join.

class at least one good ;dea that could
be worked out. IL might be something
