not take to himself any anxiety about the
report that senator's of the middle west
will make when they return to their states
and discuss these questions with their con-
stitpents. He cannot by any legislative
trick argue any amendments that have
been voted upon, confusing the minds OF
senators here, who have been exercising
some independence, by melting terror or
timidity."
Is Called TO order
No sooner had these words been uttered
than there was a hasty protest by Sem
ator Gallinger, who called upon Vice Pres
ident Sherman to invoke paragraph 2 of
rule 8.
I'm my experience in this body" said MT.
Gallinger, II have never heard so oft-re-
peated accusations that legislative tricks
were being practlced, and 1 ask that this
rule be laid before the senate that every
one may know what it is"
Rule xix, which relates to the necessity
for avoiding personal illusions, was then
read and the vice president declared that
he thought the senator from Wisconsin
had violated 1t.
Mr.. La Toilette, who had taken his scat,
arose, saying that ne had noticed that this
rule had not been equally applied to all
enators on the floor. He said he mad
noticed that some senators could say things
without attention being called to them,
and tina it was generally understood that
he had in mind Senator Penrose's recent
criticism OF himself, which was not Ie-
buked.
Vice President Sherman said he would
- - - -. .-ll a.
which Mr.. La Follettee replied that he did
not blame the vice president, as he under
stood that the rule was only applied when
the attention of the chair was directed
to It.
Cummins Warns Party leaders,.
Mr.. Cummins declared that he marveled
at the blindness of the leaders Of the
republican party that they were willing 10
commit their party to such a WOODEN
schedule"
Senators he said, you are simply
counting the destruction Of your party by
allowing such a schedule to so out to
the country"
The Aldrich-LaFollette incident then
came to a close and Senator Beacon took
the floor.
Explaining that the duty levied by the
pending bill upon blankets used by the poor
was as high as l6O per cent ad valorem.
although but II per cent was placed upon
the finest blankets used by the rich,
Senator Gore offered an amendment limit
ing to 70 per cent, any duty upon a wooden
blanket. This amendment received the
support OF Senators Bristow, Brown,
Burkett, Clapp. Dolliver. LaFollette and
Nelson, but Senator Cummins voted
against 1t. The amendment was rejected
by 20 to 43. Just before the senate took
a recess, a motion by Mr.. Cummins to re-
commit the wooden schedule to the finance
committee was defeated, s to SO.
Those voting in the affirmative were
Beverage, Bristow. Brown, Burkett, Clapp,
Cummlns, Dolliver and Nelson, all
progressive republicans. This vote con-
cluded the consideration Of the wool
schedule.
