the purpose OF attracting or diverting
my attention.
Mr. Paynter did not suppose the
Senator had: but In view Of the fact
that my name was mentioned I'm con-
neotion with Il, ! felt it due me and
the Senate to make this statement
Mr.. Swanson. simply want 70 say
that. so far as / am concerned, /
have as high respect for the rights OF
Senators, properly exercised, as has
any Senator In this body. I would
not under the circumstances have
made this motion without an effort TO
notify the Senator from Kansas, and /
addressed my remarks to him: but |
after this bill has passed. after it has |
been submitted. is the business of the ]
Senate to be delayed because when /
business is proceeding In the ordinary |
course and publicly ard openly a SEN |
ator from Kansas was so courteous as
to be diverted TO other matters? This
matter was urgent: this matter was
before the Senate; ] was entitled 20
his attention, and II ! had not gotten
/ his attention and made this motion,
In one minute this bill would have
passed without an opportunity OF do
ing justice 10 these boys Consequent
ly. in Justice TO them and in justice TO
my rights as Senator. and In view
Of the fact that was addressing my
remarks to him. although it appears
he was not giving them attention, !
do not feel that / should ask TO have
this action set aside because OF mere
technical objection and not on TO the
merits OF the measure itself
