Norris, Kenyon and LaFollette will
vote for this motion. Senator New

to carry that motion without the aid
OF the Vice President.
Determination to resort to this pro-
gram was reached when the word came
to-day that Senator Smith could NOT
return in time to aid the Democrats

his vote, Senator Flecher's motion to
