SOMEBODY may inquire why am
80 dcslrous OF elsciing anather Demo-
crat when We have already 81 major
lty IN The house. The answer ~ sim.
ple. IN the present house OF sei mem
bsrs while on 4 full vote Il requires
only isS votes To pass bill W. have
10 have sss votes 10 pass a bill over
the presidents veto. While We passed
ian our tariff hills originally by q vote
of 10 /. when We came 10 pass them
over thc presidents veto. We lacked
~ votes of having enough. A change
of aven votes would have given us
the victory
Much pressure was brought 20
hegT on Republican members 10 In
dnee them to xave tho president the
Humiliation Of having his vetocs over
ridden. ! am informed and believe the
fart to be that when the house was
voting ON the vetoes, four cabinet
memhcra were on the floor with the
white housc patronage and THE White
house power 90 persuade or coercs
Republicans into voting 10 sustain the
