vened senator Clapp WIS on the floor
pouring hot shot into the measure
Mr.. Clapp said they were told the

was 20 be the test Of party loyalty and
that IL must 80 through without de-
bate. But Notwithstanding this edict
some important amendments had been
made and the supporters OF the bill
had been compelled 10 meet debate
with debate. So long as the Republican
party had responded TO the popular de-
mand that leadership should represent
the will of the party, It had been said.
but when IL changed 10 the opposite
plan all prospect OF harmony was gone.
Mr.. Clapp referred 20 the leadership
in tho Democratic party and was in
terrupted with an inquiry from Mr..
Stone as to Republican leadership in
the last few years.
Mr.. Aldrlch sought 10 reply to this
inquiry but Mr.. Clapp refused 10 yield
TO him. That course on the part OF the
Minnesota senator pleased the Mis-
sOuifan, who remarked that Mr. Clapp
could make his own reply.
THE Minnesota senator Is among
those" he said. "who do not call upon
the senator from Rhode Island to an
