ACCEPT TOLL BILL
Continued from First Pagel

tended to force record vote.
Administration leaders reiterated
that they had the votes to hold the
measure intact as it now stands with
the Norris Simmons compromise
amendment and pointed to the record
votes of yesterday to sustain their con-
tention.
The Simmons Norris compromise
amendment, which is displeasing TO
President Wilson. was adopted so to

forced to accept tins amendment to
save the repeal bill from defeat. The
Senate has therefore refused to give
President Wilson the "ungrudging"
support which he asked in this matter,

Norris amendment asserts that the

exempt American vessels from the

Senator Clapp, Republican, In op

Wilson was a dangerous leader for
Democratic Senators to follow. Re-
viewing the Presidents early writings,
he declared the President was no more
Democrat at heart than Senator
Root or eX-President Taft.
"He is leading his party to the same
disaster which met another leader who
once declared I am the state'" added
the Senator.
BY vote of so to So on the first
amendment offered to-day by the anti

emption. Ten Democrats voted for
the amendment and thirteen Republi-
