 In addition the vote on the Gore Resolution (MarCh ?, 1916), is given. This vote was not included ill the ta0uation for the reason that a num- Der of the senator's who voted against tabing the resolution awaited them- selves of senate rule which permits an explanation of votes cast. These explanations so modified or qualified the votes of some of the senators that it was impossible to justly and accurately tabluate the votes. The Security League, however. deemed it necessary to present the vote upon tnls measure as cast. for the reason that the vote on the McLemore Reso- mtion in the House (which was the counterpart of the Gore Resolution nthe senate) had been included in tne Leagues chart showing the votes in the house.
 Method of Tabulati0n.
 The action of the Security League n cnaracterizing the votes of Repre- antatlves as fright" and "wrong" met With some criticism, it being enarged that the intent of so doing saS partisan in it's nature. As the League desires to avoid even the ap- psafance of partisanship, the method v cnaracterizing the Senator's votes s uss oeen altered so that the designa- uons "A and "B" are used to indi- s sae respectively. Voted for Pre-. Ms Su.euaess or support of the War" and .. .utea against Preparedness or sup vlt or the War" The nature of each u'edsufe IS carefully explained so that .ue s public, in addition to noting the ssal auaDer of A and B votes cast by ss.a ss'. senator, can determine for them "'a Sss'sS the importance of the partic- u'af measure involved.
