The final debate was marked BY great
bitterness In one OF the most sarcastic
speeches of his career Senator Cummins
Ia.). a stanch suffrage adheren,.
tainted the amendments opponents with
having developed a new group of wilful
men standing in the pathway OF progress.
The distinguished Senator from Mis-
sissippi INF. Wil,iamsl. rho has 80
often rallied at the Republicans Of the
Senate for having refused to abide nm
complainingly by the dictations Of the
White House, now finds himself against
tie wishes OF his Chief Executive. Why
does he repudiate the President?" said
Senator Cummins, while the Democratic
side Of the Senate evidenced apprehen-
sion as to where the next lance would
penetrate.
The Senator from Kentucky IMr.
Beckham]," continued Senator Cum
Minis. called on the Senate only a few
months ago 10 vote for the Overman
bill without information az to the pur-
pose Of its prepayment simply on the
ground that the President wanted II
and therefore It must be right and
proper"
Senator Cummins next turned his at
tentiou to Senator Smith Is. c., WHO.
he said, demanded that the Senate ac-
cept without scrutiny the demands of the
Administration for complete authority
