Make Stubborn Fight.

In the face of determined opposition
from the majority members Of the com
mittee headed by Senator Kern, the
champions of the Alabamian proceeding
from a forIorn hope made remarkable
progress in gaining votes. and the mar
row margin by which they lost the fight
created great surprise.
That Gov. ONeal's appointee had been
gaining strength steadily in the last few
days had been apparent. but that he
would come SO close to success had not
been contemplated by the opposition un-
til the last hours of the controversy.
Then it was that Senator Walsh Of Mon
tana. who wrote the majority report, In
a closing plea appealed to his colleagues
to cast aside personal esteem and friend
ship and to consider the case from
legal standpoint only; to realize that they
were making history. and that a prece-
dent might be established upon which
the will of the people might be overturned
in future emergencies.
