Missouri who announced himself in
hearty accord with the Indiana senator
views.
From that time on conferences were

is to amend the Blackburn provision so
as to require an investigation into the
entire race question and lay the whole
question on the table.
In the absence of Senator Aldrich. Sen
ator Crane took charge OF the forces in
the senate in opposition to the Blackburn
amendment. and succeeded in inspiring
more confidence in that effort. He
announced his opinion that vote will be
reached on Monday and the Blackburn
provision tabled by a practically unan-
imous Republican vote
Senator Blackburn meanwhile said he
was standing pat" He declined TO with
draw his amenment, because he believed
the president was entitled to this declara-
