Never before in the history
sof the government has q presi-
dent Of the United States sent
nominations to the senate or at

formally notified that the senate
was in session.
1t was q day of precedent
smashing. At first when twas

the older statesmen, Wfo have
been stit kler for the pre- edence
and for compliance with all of
the ancient forms, which have
contributed to make the senate

Upon delibel alton they came
ito the onclusion that nothing
could be done in the way of
Rrebnking the president without

came to realize that the presi-

the constitution of the United
