ing his OATH" retorted Senator John
Sharp Williams. "Oh, if you want
to try that sort of thing. go ahead"
interjected Senator Vardaman. You
won't get very far with my expulsion
on this question:
MARITIME Dodged the Vote.
Senator MARITIME, who amazed the
friends of the administration on
Thursday by coming out against the
Presidents selection, was saved from
voting directly against the President
by pairing his vote. MARITIME had an
nouneed his opposition, explaining
that while he personally held Profess
sor Daniels in the highest esteem and
profound respect for the judgment of
the President of the United States in
his selection of men for office, still he
could not in this instance agree with
the President, and much as it panied
him to do so he could not vote in
favor of the former professor of
Princeton for the important office of
interstate commerce commissioner.
Hughes Flushed at Success.
Senator Hughes saved the day for
the administration and succeeded in
forcing through the confirmation of
Daniels. 1t was an all-day fight be-
hind closed doors from noon until
after o'clock. When the doors were
finally thrown open the senator from
Passaic came forth with the flush of
victory on his brow and a smile on
his countenance. He had led the adj
ministration forces through one of
the bitterest fights behind closed
doors that has marked the present
administration.
Professor Daniels's name was taxi
en- up at the session on April and
it was continued over until the next
day, and the legislative day was fur
Their continued by calling a recess in
stead of an adjournment, which
brought 1t into the third day.
Among the other Democratic Sena-
tors who also declined to follow the
President and vote for mis- selection
for Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner were Senators Vardaman and
Walsh, and by peculiar coincidence,
the Senators who do not agree with
him in his suggestion to repeal the
Panama tolls law failed to agree with
him in the Daniels case When the
Senate adjourned last evening the
vote on the confirmation was pub
lished; 1t stood SO to u.

Senator Hughes fought the oppo-
nents of the presidential nominee at
every turn and kept the fight within
bounds. Senators LaFollette Cum
minis and some of the other Republic
cans endeavored to introduce extra
neous matters into the argument, but
Senator Hughes met them each time.
He was on his feet frequently in the
course of the day, and even those who
were not with him afterward gave
him credit for generalship of a high
order.
The senator returned to Paterson as
soon as the Senate adjourned, to re-
sumo his fight for the election of
James j OByrne,to Congress, to sue
coed the late r. b. Bremner. Senator
Hughes declared that he felt very
confident of the outcome in the Sew
enth district. He said that while 1t
was an uphill fight, Mr. O'Byrne had
developed great strength and would
surprise those who believed that his
defeat was Q foregone conclusion.
