the speaker of the house of represen-
tatives would nominate man on the
conference committee who had the
courage of his convictions and who
would not waver upon the question of
convictions and who would not waver
upon the question of constitutional re-
view, the president would abandon the
Allison amendment and go back again
to the Long amendment, the place that
he started from.
President Like Kaleidoscope.
He said that Addison had once made
the remark that a woman who DELHI
crates is lost, and that while there was
no chance of anybody ever losing the
president, there was no telling if
within the next few days some new
Chandler, to fortune and to fame I'M
known, might not get possession 81
the president and time him over the
breakwater of the Addison amendment
back again to his original terminus.
Senator Rayner said that he would
not pretend to make any assault upon
the president or pretend to charge him
with selfish or dishonest purpose,
but that the processes of reasoning
through which he reached conclu-
sion were SO changeable that it was
Impossible to follow him. He said that
he resembled an unadjlsted kaleido-
scope whose rejecting surfaces after
shaking it up frequently exhibit its
beautiful celors in symmetrical forms,
but after you have adjusted and
focused it, flies into its original frag-
ments and resolves itself into its COM
ponent parts. He said this was a
great era for natural disturbances and
that the president seemed to be some
what jealous OF the earthquakes and
volcanic eruptiohs that bad taken
place, and was going through a sort
of cometic performance himself, il.
Illuminating the horizon but tearing
through space oblivious of where he
came from and with no definite con-
ception Of where he was going. SEN
ator Rayner said he (Rayner) was
perfectly seEioHs il his expectation
that owing to these peculiarTaaolss OF
the president he would change his
whole position again unless the sen.
ate adjourned on him and prevent

Has Divided People.
IN concluding his remarks about the
president, Senator Rayner said. he
might have reunited his party on the
floor Of the senate, but that he had
nnhappily divided the people. When
be came TO discuss the Allison amend4
ment, Senator RayAer said he Hest:
tated to vote for the bill aad had never
supported a measure OF this sort with
more reluctance, because he thought
the words contained in the amendment
were fatal.

strongest possible way that this unfor-
tunate amendment Destroyed the. Ell
cheney Of the entire measure, and that

and am sorry for 1t. He has debil-
itated and mptilated this measure.
while II he had only persisted In his
purpose a few days longer united

that # hs felt about the bill as dta
Senator Rayner, he would not vote foorr
1t. 1.-THE bill is not revolutionary OF or
dangerous legislation" he said, and
predicted that 1t would have the popu-
lar approval.
He proposed to defend neither the
bill or the president, but he would
say there are millions who will not
think less Of the chief executive for
bringing his party into accord in the
legislation.
Senator La Toilette, speaking on the
rate bill, denied that the recommends
tions of the president had been car
ried out. He denounced the attempt
to make a party question out of tho
measure. 1t might be done in the SEN
ate. but not in the country. He crit
icised his party senators for voting
down his amendments. "They were
lined up under the leadership of New
England senator's to do this he as
serted.
