Senator Gallinger. the minority

their policy toward business had been
a failure.
There was no necessity for consid-

Republican administrations was the
general retort.
"The attack upon the minority OF the
Senate was unfair. undiGniiied ana IN
eXcusable." SAID Senator Gallinger.

who said:
81 did not expect such partisan
speech from the President Of the

Mr. Foess said:
The President has been accustomed

I attribute this frctfulness TO the TACT
that he has been used 10 giving orders
and having them obeyed. whereas some
Of them are net now being obeyed IN
the Senate. He has had his way mere
in the Honse. The Senate has not
been so obediert and the President
has become petulsnt. ,L..
There is something TO say also aoout
tho Presidents assertion that the Ieo-
