South With Wilson,.
Representative Heflin, Democrat, of
Alabama, congratulated some of the
Republicans for standing with Presi-
dent Wilson in the fight.
81 am glad to see men big enough
to break away from their leader and
stand with the president and against
the kaiser" Mr.. Hehin said. 1T is
Lansing and Wilson or Won Bernstorff
and the kaiser
Appealing to the South, Mr.. Het1in
asked where she stood. His answer
came from Representative Gambler of
Mississippi, who shouted from the
rear of the chamber that the South
stood solidly with the president.
Representative Decker, Democrat
of Missouri, one of the original agita-
tors for warning resolution. declared
the country was threatened by war
over the issue of doubtful legal
right.
In Germany" he shouted, the
question is will you stand by the
kaiser?' In England, Will you stand
by the king?' In Russia, Will you
stand by the czar?' If war comes we
will all stand by the president, but
this government, thank God, is a rep
resentative one, and to the insinuat-
ing temper of the South we will say,
we will stand by the people"
Representative Shackleford of Mis-
souri,, one of the leaders in the agita'
ton for a warning, surprised every
body by urging that the McLemore
resolution be tabled, Since the outset
of agitation he has urged the passage
Of warning resolution.
II am favorable to a warning res
olution,' he said, "but I am not in
favor of embarrassing the president
in his diplomatic negotiations. I want
him to be permitted to pursue his own
way in these negotiations. If there is
danger Of war and he needs our help,
we have his promise that he will come
to us, so let us table this resolution
and not embarrass him.
Gives Praise to President.
IT am one of those who believe that
citizens should not imperil this coun-
try by going on armed ships. They
have the right, but when Americans
go on an armed ship they should do
so at their own peril. Stand with the
president? Yes, l stand by him be-
cause I believe it is due to his efforts
that we are not at war today"
Representative Linthicum, Democrat
of Maryland, a member Of the foreign
affairs committee, spoke for tabling
the resolution.
Charging the Democrats with insin-
cerity, Representative Meeker, Repub-
lican of Missouri, declared:
"You talk one way and then pro-
post to table the resolution so as to
prevent showdown"
Don't you suppose" he asked,
that this talk in the house will go
abroad at the same time your vote
does? I'm not pro-German, nor pro-
ally, but am pro-horse sense"
Mr.. Lenroot, Republican Of Wiscon-
sin, said he would vote against tabling
the McLemore resolution.
Representative Madden, Republican
of Illinois, declared that if a straight
warning proposition was pending it
would pass the house overwhelming
ly.
"Cowardly, unfair and sidestep-
ping" was the way Representative
Mckinley, Republican of Illinois, char
acterized the days proce edings. He
said 80 per cent of the people in his
,o,,1;+,, fovorod q warming RI Amori.
