with the democrats in favor Of the reso-
luton. They were Senators aronna, Ken
yon, La Toilette. Perkins, Norris, Smoot,
Brady and Borah.

position of appearing to be in favor Of
delaying action on the currency bill.

Senator Townsend of Michigan made
the final protest of the republicans
against the Kern resolution today. He
declared that the democ. ats were at
tempting to cover up the failure of the
democratic tariff bill to bring about bet
ter conditions in this country by raising
the cry that currency legislation was i'm
peratively demanded. He said that twen-
ty years ago when the democrats passed
a tariff bill it was followed by disaster
in the business world, and that then the
democrats aised a similar cry that there
was something wrong with the currency.
As soon as the currency bill was disposed
of. he said, the democrats would find
some new excuse for the unfortunate re-
suits of their tariff legislation.
Senator OGorman of New York charged
Senator Townsend with lack of patriot
ism, because he was making the business
conditions of the country appear to be at
crisis.
