Senator Gallinger moved to amend

Is
Mr. Gallinger withdrew his amend
ment
Mr. Culbersop's amendment, as

Senator McLaurin then presented an
amendment prohibiting greater charg-
es for short hauls than for long hauls,
and Senator Daniel moved a substi-
tute to cover the situation in Vir
ginia. Both senators spoke in support
Of their respective provisions, and Mr..
McLaurin entered upon a general crit
lcism Of the presidents course in con-
nection with the rate bill. He declared
that the president had entirely chang
ed his position, and predicted the pro-
duction Of a new song to be known as
Roosevelt's Surrender and to be
sung to the tune of "Bonaparte's Re
treat"
Mr.. Daniels substitute was then
voted down, and the McLaurin provis-
ion Immediately met a like late.

pressed the opinion that the Republic
