# was during this debate that Sena-
for Beyeridge announced that the lin
surgpnts" would vote with the Demo-
Gratis against the bill. This negative
vote he said, would be cast as a no.
ticeto the conferees to report back

schedules.
Our vote" he said, shall be cast
in harmony with our party's pledges,
as voiced by our party's leader and
the national PRESIDENT
Mr.. Beveridge was answered by Mr..
AIdrich. who said he had often seen
men interpret their own judgment as
the Judgment of their party.
The Republican party is a party
of majorities," he added, land the
views of the majority in matters of
legislation control party policies. The
senator from Indiana does not speak
for the Republican party. He has no
right to call here the name of the
president of the United States in sup
port of any suggestion that he has
made"
Mr. Aldrich declared that the pend
ing bill was fulfillment of the party'S
pledges If senators wished to vote
against the bill, he said, they should
not attempt to speak for their party.
Il have listened with deep interest
to the fearful and prophetic funeral
oratiOn,' said Mr.. Stone, from the
Democratic side of the chamber. He
declared it reminded him of the old
hymn, "Hark, From the Tomb a Dole
full Sound"
Mr.. Crawford delivered a vigorous
protest against any attempt on the
part of Chairman Aldrich to prevent
Republican senators from the exercise
OF their Judgment.
II will take more than the senator
from Rhode Island to read the state
OF Minnesota out of the Republican
party, said Mr.. Nelson, amid ap-
pause, which called down the gavel
oI the vice-president with an an
nouncement that such expressions
We're not permitted.
The bill was then put on it's pas
sage and passed.
