worthy opposition in the senate by twelve
members, who, by the most %disreputable
filibustering, prevented "a vote an the
armed neutrality bill and thus defeated
the will of the great majority of that
body, as well as of the house. The bill
had already passed the house by the
overwhelming majority of 800 votes, only
thirteen voting against the measure. This
almost unanimous vote in the house
proved that the masses of the people were
in favor of arming our merchant ships
against submarine attacks. Ii remained

of the senate to humiliate the nation by
resorting to the old rule of no %cloture ON
