been glad to let the debate Contin-
Ye for another Legislative day.
The republicans opposed to the
bill fought the rule. denouncing it
in caustic language. They direct
ed their fire especially against the
democrats and accused them OH the
eve of going into power of the
house, of enforcing a gag rule
as drastic as any against which they
had so eloquently enveigled in the
past.
Champ Clark took Representa-
tive Dalzell sharply to task for com
planning of the undue haste with
which the house was acting OH the
reciprocity measure. The speaker
elect said the democrats had for
years been bound and gagged
while the gentleman from Pennsvl-
vania and his associates had
brought in rule after rule and had
rushed legislation through without
giving All opportunity for amend
ment.
Under the cloture rule which
was adopted by an overwhelming
vote the only loophole left to OPP
ponents of the bill was motion to
recommit the bill to the committee
OF the whole, with instructions to
report certain amendments. When
the time came to do this, half a
dozen members were clamoring for
recognition.
Mr.. Dalzell was recognized BY
Speaker Cannon. He proposed that
meat and meat products, flour, pre-
pared cereals, lumber and several
other articles be put on the free list .
The democrats were not shaken BY
this. and the motion was lost, ia
to 1911.
The cloture rule had been agreed
to previously by vote of 1913 to
l07.
Some of the old guard" repub-
lean leaders, like Dalzell of Penn
syivania, and Fordney of Michigan
yelled but thlnlv their predictions
that the republican party would be
defeated by reason of what they
characterized as a departure from
the principle of protection and the
espOusel of free trade.
Speaker Cannon took no part in
the debate either yesterday or to-
day. There was applause when.
on the first record vote that was
ordered, the speaker called Rep
resentative James of Kentucky,
one of the lsaders of the democrat
ic side, to the chair. Mr.. James
sat there all through the roll call
and announced the vote. This is
said to be the only time democrat
has been called to preside over the
house since the republicans gained
control.
President Taft tonight gave a
dinner to Speaker Cannon. The
meal was delayed an hour while
the house was voting on recipros-
ity. 1t is said the president sent
word he would change the dinner
into breakfast if necessary to pass
the bill.

passed was:
