Grafton of the bill on its merits, Mr.. Hale
said:
Attempt to Drive the Senate"

Attempt to Drive the Senate"
ut is my understanding that the bill
will take its course in accordance with
the feeling and desire of the Senate.
whatever that may be- If the Senate
does not choose to take it up that course
will bc within its clear right and any
effort on the part of any sonc, of what
ever authority, to drive the Senate now
or at any time, would be an assumption
of power which would be unwarranted.
Senator Stone OF Missouri and minority
member of the committee. announced his
intention of supporting the measure on
the ground that it would be in the line Of
wise and progressive craftsmanship.
Speaking briefly for a second time.
Senator Bailey stated that while opposed
to the bill, he would not seek to delay
its passage. Il am ready. to vote on it
as soon as the Lorimer case is dis
posed Of" he said. IF the legislation
should prove unsatisfactory. that would
be practical result in which ] should
have great interest because Of the ap-
preaching national election. If it should
reduce the cost OF living it would do so
at the expense of the farmer along the
northern boundary. and ! should be great
ly concerned in observing their settle
mcnt of the question with those respon-
Sible for its enactment.'
The bill went on the calendar, where
it is subject to consideration whenever
the Senate may decide to take it up.

Senator Hale. the veteran republican

that the committee had yielded to public
clamor, and the charge that the bill was
to be suppressed and had reported it
against the real sentiment of a large ma
iority of the committee.
He served notice. however, that the bill
would have TO go 10 the calendar to take
its course. and any effort on the part of
any one ''of whatever authority to drive

assumption OF power.

Interests of the Farmers.
Declaring his opposition to it, he ex-
pressed the opinion that the best interests
of the agriculturis- would be served by
the defeat of the bill. In pointing out
some of the Determinations in the bill,
from his point of view, the Texas senator
said that while the agreement admitted
wheat and cattle free, 1T retained the
duty on flour and beef meat.
Civilized people eat flour and not
wheat, beef and not cattle he said. True
il was, he continued that the agreement
provided for free wood pulp. but this
change in the tariff laws would mean the

Treasury annually. He had been in

be worth S.,.Gn0.,0j to tie newspaper and

could not consent to measure which
gave such preference to the rich as
against the poor and needy.
Senator Hale concurred in all that Mr.
Bailey had said, and added that while the

of the fact that an unquestioned majority

ton resolution had been taken care of
by the agreement upon day to vote, the

TACT, the Senate came near to agreeing
upon day for voting upon it late yester-
day afternoon. Several efforts had been
made to get an early vote. but all failed.
Then it appeared that unanimous consent
for day could be obtained, and Senator
Bailey proposed that the resolution de-
cl;rrinS Mr.. Lorimer not entitled to his
seat be voted upon before adjournment
next Wednesday.
Il object to the fixing of any time to

yesterday afternoon. but notices of more
speeches against Mr.. Lorimer were given
