Resolution by Bailey Passes With
Aid Of Six Republican
Votes
+, DEMOCRATS LINEUP SOLIDLY
Senator William Alden Smith De-
tends Course Of Presi-
dent Taft

Washington, July 16.--The Sen
ate today indirectly rebuked Presi-
dent Taft for his course in connec-
ton with the Lorimer case. Once
blocked from a vote by the Archibald
Impeachment roceedings, resolu-
ton, battle-scarred in a protracted
debate, was adopted 35 to %, de-
nouncing 'any attempt on the part
of the President" to exercise the
power of his office to influence a
vote on questions within the Senate's
exclusive jurisdiction.
The resolution originally was
framed by Senator Bailey, who had
arraigned President Taft, asserting
that he had been "officious and med
dlesome' in endeavoring to line up
regular senators in the Lorimer
case.
Not a Democrat voted against the
resolution but six Republicans voted
for it. The Republicans who voted
for it were: Clapp, McCumbef, Gal
linger, Fall. Works and Bourne.
Senator Bailey, who introduced
the resolution, denounced tne course3
of President Taft as described in a
letter the President wrote to Col.
Roosevelt on January 6, 1910, in
which the President made public in
recent speech during the Massa'
chusetts primaries.
The original resolution was d.
rected at presidential influence on
votes on the right of senators to re
tain their seats.
Bailey accepted an amendment Of
fered by McCumber, striking out
words of condemnation from tile
resolution and extending it to othe'
matters within the exclusive juris'
dietion of the Senate. He also aG
cepted an amendment by Senator
Hepburn to insert the word would
50 as to make the resolution moro
timpersonal.
The vote was demanded and fol
| the instant it appeared that the reso
luton as amended would pas
unanimously. Senator William
Alden Smith declared the Presiden
had done nothing improper and !,
was impossible to discount Bailey
arguments from the resolutions
