Uncle Joe Cannon and Representative
Dalzell, made the boast that the Ca
madam bill would go to the senate
with a big majority of the Republican
voters Of the lower branch of congress
registering their disapprovRl Of its
terms. The struggle was made by the
followers of Mr.. Cannon. They ex-
pected that at least a hundred Repub-
Leans would vote against the bill, but

As compared with the vote on the
bill in the last congress, one of the
most interesting reversals was In

years, they demonstrated that they

Thirty-fye amendments were offered
by Republicans In an effort to amend
the bill. The leaders declared that any
amendment would endanger the entire
measure, and for that reason they
gave notice that the bill must be

Of the president.
Pleas were made by a number of Re
publicans who offered amendments
among them Fordney of Michigan.
