rule that would limit debate on
the repeal bill to Is hours until the
measure actually has been called up,
and this probably cannot be done I'M
til Thursday, when Majority Leader
Underwood is to make the opening
speech in opposition to the repeal.
Representatives Murdoch, the Pro-
gressive leader, urged today that If
the House would limit the repeal dis
cussion to 40 instead of Is hours, SEN
timent on the tolls issue would be
so shifted that the vote would result
Americas way instead of England s"
Several suggestions of gag rule were
made. but Minority Leader Mann de-
clared that while he had heard it
reported that the White House had
sent word to hasten the repeal he did
not believe the President had attempt
ed to interfere with House procedure.
One Progressive in Favor
That all Progressive party members
of the House are not opposed to re-
peal of toll exemption was disclosed
today when Rep. Charles NJ Thorn
son Chicago, issued a statement de-
claring his intention to support the
President.
His statement said:
Il believe our national honor Is in
volved and / am compelled to choose
between vote which may be said
to be not in accord with the clause in
my party platform to which | have
referred and one which, in my judg
ment, will be in favor of proposition
which would utterly fail to maintain
our honor and integrity as nation in
the fulflment of a solemn obliga-
ton into which we have entered with
another nation. Having to make this
choice do not hesitate to place what
I consider a matter of national honor
above party platform"
Representative Chandler of New
York, also Progressive member
supplemented the recent statement of
his party leader in the House, de-
| claring his opposition to the repeal
because I believe that a political
platform is a covenant with the peo-
pie, a sacred thing to be loyalty OBJ
served and faithfully executed by rep
resentatives of the people.
o'Gorn1an Working Hard
Senator O'Gorman, who is fighting
early and late against the administra-
tons repeal policy, said today that
the committee on inter-ocenic canals
would act on the repeal bill in due
time, but reiterated his statement
| that the committee would not meet
until Senaor Crawford reurns from
| South Dakota.
In the Senate today, Senator Thorn
ton of Louisiana a member of the
canals committee who has announced
that he will support the President in
the tolls controversy, submitted a
resolution said to have been passed
at a st. Patrick's Day gathering in
New Orleans protesting against his
attitude. Senator Thornton said he
did not believe such a resolution had
been passed in any public meeting
and denounced it as "scurrilous."
