Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1910-06-04

Although the vote by which the rail-
way bill passed the Senate last night
was strictly partisan one, party lines
were mixed and jumbled in the long
fight which preceded the final vote. A
Republican senator who has never been
accused of insurgent tendencies de-
clared that the man who drew up the
original bill was guilty of treason
blacker than Benedict Arnold's. SEN
ator La Toilette, insurgent Republican,
said yesterday that the country could
thank the insurgents and Democrats
for the merit in the bill. Insurgents
fought with Democrats to incorporate
the amendments in the measure, but
voted regularly when 1t came up for
passage.

for young men without fortune who
