ty the democrat leader and an oppo-
IL nent of the bonus made a point of
order against the two-thirds vote
ty provision, pointing out that this
tie was in the nature of an amend
hd ment to the senate rules. The
no point of order was sustained and
ie, that provision was withdrawn.
" A question then arose as to
Vi whether the motion, il adopted in
~, the modified form. would preclude
-, n motion to take up the bonus
90 bill before the tariff was disposed
of and after a long discussion the
~ motion was further modified at
Nv the suggestion of Senator Norris,
of republican, Nebraska, so that

Grafton of the bonus would be in
order at any time.
Charges Fly Thick and Fast.
Charges flew thick and fast dur
ing the debate. They included as
sertions that the delay in acting
i, on the bonus bill was for the pur-
pose Of killing it; that those who
made millions out of the war were
behind an organized and extensive
propaganda to defeat the measure
and that the republican majority
! were planning to use the bonus as
| club over the heads of opponents
of the tariff measure to shorten de-
bate on that bill.
IN In offering his motion to dis
w place the tariff, Senator Walsh
IT. stated this was the third time that
there had been an effort to post
Ull pone action and "by that means
kill this bill" He added that pro
ponents Of the legislation proposed
to put the senate on record on the
~ question.

,5o tion to lay the Walsh motion on
