New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-03-11

ported his party's foreign policy in the
Senate. This particular bill he refused
to accept. He declined to handle it on
the floor. and the duty of handling it de-
volved upon another Democratic mem
Der of the committee, Senator Hitch
cock.
When Senator Stone began to speak it
was known. of course, that he would
oppose the bill. He was expected to de-
liver the most important speech against
it. Accordingly he received an unusual
degree of attention from his fellow SEN
ators. More than half the seats were
full. And all of the Senators turned
toward the speaker and listened to him
closely. Men who intended to support
the measure made notes. Generally
they didn't get an opportunity to make
the speeches they planned in the mess
that followed Stones long Grafton.
For a couple of hours Stone talked
seriously and effectively amid the flat
tering attention of the Senate. But
when he had exhausted all he really had
to say he talked on and on, repeating
himself, reading from books, citing
documents, rambling and drooling along
for four hours altogether Before it
was over weary Senator's began stroll
ing into the lobby whispering, "Stone
is filibustering. I've seen him in action
before. | know his methods"
When Senator Stone finished it was
known that the bill would be talked to
death Time enough for reasonable de-
bate still remained. But every one
knew that Stones speech would be
signal to La Toilette and that the bill
would die an easy death. Perhaps we
should explain here how easy it is under
the present rules to talk bill to death
with the end of the session near. Every
Senator may speak twice in the same
legislative day, each time as long as he
likes, on one and the same measure, and
he may speak again on any and every
amendment he or his friends or his OPP
ponents choose to offer. Thus there is
ample opportunity to talk. A strong
lunged orator much in earnest has been
known to talk for half of day to de-
feat measure.
The killing of this bill was easy. Less
than twenty-four hours remained after
Stone concluded, and La Toilette had
several allies. A vote could be had only
by unanimous consent, and the La Fol
lette group refused consent. They de-
clined Senator Hitchcock's offer of ten
hours for debate, all for themselves, the
majority to remain silent. They refused
every compromise. One after another
they talked, Cummins, Works and Nor
ris. Gronna, who was to have borne
his part, got chance to talk on wheat
through a parliamentary slip by which
the armed ship bill was displaced.
Wheat or ships, it was all the same to
him. so long as he used up two hours.
La Toilette, fresh from his couch
saved himself for the last, when the
eyes of the nation should be upon him
as the gavel fell closing the session. But
the friends of the bill cheated him OF

and start the filibuster at once. Moth
ing happened, and while doubt of La
Follette's intentions remained, hope
was quite general that the bill would be
allowed to pass, until Senator Stone was
more than half way through his long
speech.
Although there had been specializing
about a filibuster from the outset, the
real beginning of the filibuster was
complete surprise to every one. Senator
Stone is the chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate. He
IS a Democrat and, of course, an impor-
tant Democrat. In general, he has sup

35 minutes, perhaps longer 1t is his
way. He loves mystery. Like a good
poker player, he betrays nothing. He
acts just the same whether ne intends
TO filibuster or not.
Some say he makes his impenetrabll-
ity profitable. Some say ne is bought
off at times with legislative compro-
misses. even when he has no intention to
filibuster. When he was out OF the
Chamber, people said he was sleeping
so as TO be fresh when he chose to seize
the floor and begin his long distance
talk. When he came into the Chamber
people expected him to take the floor

Senator's Stone and La Toilette and
heir aids have apparently talked filibus-
srng to death. The scenes Of last Sun
ssy and the day previous are not likely
be repeated in the nations history.
The Senate rules, whose amendment
has 50 long been resisted, are likely to

light, airy, and successfully irritating.
He got on the nerves Of Senators who
thought the nation would be disgraced
by the fact of its impotence. He derived
satisfaction from the annoyance ne was
causing. He was pleased with himself.
His smiles stirred anger and hatred and
he smiled the more. He had the time oil

through his efforts.
Perhaps he was so full of playing the

that if there is discomfort among the

Among the interesting features Of the dis
patches made public today is IN. evidence
that the embargo conference which was held
in this country in the summer OF 1915 al
